wiseheartEach year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.
This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.
Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)
So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.
Enjoy!

Date: 2014-10-01 06:24 pm (UTC)Ingredients to the pastry:
250 gr white flour
125 gr margarine
1.5 teaspoons of salt
6 tablespoons of water
This must chill a bit in the fridge. Recipe says 2 hours; I only chilled it half an hour and it worked like a charm. *g*
Then you roll it our, in a cake form of 26 cm in diameter (it must be buttered and floured first in the inside), so that the pastry will have a rim of at least 2 centimetres. Poke it a few times with a fork, so that the damp can leave while baking.
This year, I didn't make one big cake, but twenty little ones, using muffin forms - they look very cute.
Ingredients for the mushroom filling:
500 gr mushrooms, diced, roast on oil and onions (I always use onion paste, it spares me the tears), seasoned with salt, pepper and parsley
3 eggs
250 ml of sour cream
125 gr grated cheese
1 pinch of white pepper
Beat the eggs with the sour cream and the white pepper.
Stir in the grated cheese.
Spread mushrooms on the bottom of the pastry.
Cover it with the egg-sour cream-pepper-cheese mix.
Cook it in the pre-heated oven, at 210°C for ca 30 minutes.
It's best when still hot, but I've made the small ones in advance and froze them. I'll heat them up when the guests come.
.Traditionally, Quiche Lorraine is served with dry white wine from Elsace.
The original has cubed bacon instead of the mushroooms (ca 200 grams of it). The tuna filling is simply canned tuna (without the sauce), spread on the pastry.
