Quiche recipe w/bacon. (W/ Bacon so it is manly girly quiche)

Ingredients:

All-purpose flour, for rolling
1 homemade or store-bought single-crust pie dough
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 cups medium diced yellow onion (from 1 large onion)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
6 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (4 ounces)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly flour a rolling pin and work surface and roll out dough to a 12-inch round. Place in a 9-inch pie plate, fold overhang under, and crimp edge. Place a sheet of parchment paper over dough and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edge is dry and light golden, about 20 minutes. Remove parchment and weights.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until light golden, 8 to 10 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and cream. Add onion, bacon, and cheese and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk to combine, pour into crust, and bake until center of quiche is just set, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature

One thing I know for sure. I never get behind a Prius on the road. Prius drivers are infatuated with driving by wire. They constantly watch their gage playing a game to beat their last best mileage. So annoying. They drive 5 mph under the speed limit and take 23 minutes to get up to speed from a stop light.

Worst possible encounter?

An Asian woman driving a Prius! Ahhhhhhhhhh......

Does the “Co-exist” sticker come standard?

The Prius has a spot in the glove compartment for men to place their testicles before sitting down.

So the single guy was holding two grocery sacks under his arms. He asked his date—a big blonde gal—to reach into his front pocket for the house key.
She had been impressed with his new Cadillac and had listened attentively while he explained all the options and extras.

She pulled out the house keys and along with them, a couple plastic golf tees.
“What are these things? she asked.

He replied, “Those hold my balls up while I’m driving on the fairway.’
“MY goodness! What will those people at Cadillac think of next?”

My son bought one, loved it. I’ve driven it and it is very nice. He has since moved on to a Tesla which he loves even more. I haven’t gotten to drive it, though have driven in it. Also very nice.

I would have bought a previous-generation (not the new one that will arrive in the USA early in 2016) Toyota Prius Model II if it weren’t for the fact it cost US$25,000 “out the door” for one. It’s actually not a bad car, and the interior space is much more than anticipated for such a small car.

2015 $26k out the door, wagon.

Before my wife would finalize, it had to fit a lg dog cage; we have two Australian shepherds.
Same cage that we used in the Suburban,I had angled the back wall to match the rear seat of the Sub.
A perfect fit also in the Prius!

The seats are comfortable for me.

Be sure to put a fart can exhaust on it and a turbo sticker.

We got one last year for the wife, she has a commute. It replaced her Pacifica and took a while for her to bond with it.

Now she loves the car.

I actually see a Prius in the next town with NRA Life Member and Marine Corps decals in the rear window. A real head turner.

I had a 2010 Prius that was provided to me as a company car. Nice car, never an issue other than a burned out headlight. As long as the trip was less than 100 miles it was fine. After that it killed by back and backside. Horrible seats. Nicest thing was once when interstate traffic ground to a halt for an hour I sat there in air conditioned comfort while those around me were overheating or standing outside their cars in 95 degree heat.

Too small for me, but there’s nothing wrong with good gas mileage.

I heard if you drive a Prius your dick gets smaller and your testicals shrink.
Is it true?
