Today I made a quiche loosely based on a recipe from one of my favourite cookbooks Plenty. I’m calling it “Victory Tart”. I always say that my life is in balance when I have time… rather TAKE time to bake. And I consider making a crust from scratch baking : ) I used to be intimidated by a pie crust from scratch largely because my grandmother made ZEEE BEST crusts and perhaps I didn’t feel that mine would compare? Nevertheless, the same friend who gifted me Plenty encouraged me that crust was no biggie and truly could become a weekday dinner go to. I’m not quite there yet, but since its Sunday AND canadian thanksgiving, today deserved something extra. Back to the Victory part… this afternoon was not the Sunday afternoon of rest that I had planned. Like much in life, things don’t always go according to my plan. What’s that you say? You share my pain in this area? Often times it’s easy for me to be thrown off my entire day when things don’t go my way… but TODAY is a new day and we pushed through the circumstances and instead of NOT making dinner (which is what I FELT like doing) I took a deep breath, got anchored and waited for the grace I needed to turn things around and made something lovely for my family to enjoy. I find when I press through in my own strength things don’t turn out and I definitely don’t enjoy it. It is possible to take the next step in peace when we know where true peace comes from and how to wait patiently for it.
