A Julia Child Birthday

Sonja had a birthday a few weeks back.  She celebrated with a little pitch-in party and the theme was “Julia Child French.”  We brought a mushroom and leek quiche which was adapted from one of Julia’s recipes.  For this, I tried my first ever homemade crust.  (I had made quiche before but had used phyllo dough.)  I had to make a second batch of crust due to some technical problems.  This is definitely something that I am going to have to work on in order to master!   We had a great evening and took a lot of pictures.  Kirk got some of the best shots of the night.  He is getting quite the eye!
