#TuesdayLunch #Quiche #Leeks #Courgette #Ham The oven at 180°C in the kitchen when it’s 35°C outside? Crazy people do exist! Nevertheless, quiche came out beautifully & was delicious! Leeks, courgette, ham & a refreshing glass of RosĆ© de Provence. I’ll make this again! Keep cool!

Same here! The older we get, the lower it goes! Expect 75°F today but moving towards 85°F by Saturday. Luckily we have some rain coming, starting Sunday. A whole week of it apparently. I hope that doesn’t mean the end of summer!
