The Tell-Tale Tapping Toe



"Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I will post the frittata recipe, but for the love of all that is decent, stop the hideous tapping of that foot"

Ahem. There is really no "recipe" for this dish ( the frittata, not the heart ) but here's how I made the one whose portrait(which strangely never ages...wait, that's Wilde , not Poe) appears in the blog below.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 inch pie pan.
Heat about one tablespoon of good olive oil in a skillet. Saute one chopped leek, one large clove of garlic, minced, a couple of diced sweet peppers and some steamed spinach, until tender. In a separate bowl, beat 4 eggs, a half teaspoon salt, a bit of pepper and basil. Stir in about half a cup of crumbled feta and the veg. Spread in the pie pan and bake for about 25 minutes. Viola!

Today's listening pleasure: Etta James, "Matriarch of the Blues" four stars.
