Nightshade - Quiche - Sit Spot #918 - August 2, 2021

Black Nightshade

Small flower whose shape is like that

 of a Tomato flower

also in the Nightshade family

1st try at a Sweet Pea & Ham Quiche. 

It was a recipe from Audrey at "PardonyourFrench". 

I didn't have ham so used a bit of smoked bacon. 

I had never made a pie crust before so it was a bit of a learning curve. 

Still more curves to go I think. 

Still working on my cooking skills . . .
