The Mea Culpa Senate Breakfast Quiche

Good morning. Today is Friday, June 19, 2009 and I am preparing a Ham and Grits Crustless Quiche good enough to serve to a senator to commemorate a ground breaking resolution passed in that august chamber yesterday.  If you care to cook along with me you will need 1/2 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/3 cup grits, 1 can evaporated milk, 1 1/2 cups chopped ham, 4 ounces of cheddar cheese, 3 large beaten eggs, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon dry mustard and 1 or 2 teaspoons hot sauce. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bring water and salt to a boil in saucepan. Stir in grits, remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in milk and next 6 ingredients and pour into quiche dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Cut into 6 wedges and mail 5 wedges to your favorite senators to thank them for spending all day Thursday trying to apologize for slavery!

...POP...That's right boys and girls, in the midst of the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression our elected officials are hard at work crafting a strongly worded resolution of apology for the fundamental injustice and cruelty of slavery of African Americans.  Do we still have slaves down south?  Is this a hot, burning issue on the national scene? Apparently, the Senate thinks it is, ergo it must be so.  

When you Fed-X your quiche wedges to your favorite senators you might want to enclose a note reminding them that the people who actually owned slaves have been dead for about 150 years! You might further suggest that perhaps their time in the Senate would be better spent trying to solve problems occurring in our country right now.  

Just a thought..Perhaps we should add some more hot sauce to our quiche mixture to wake up the men and women in the Senate and force them back into this century!

Have a great week-end and let's get together Monday for breakfast.
