Personal Notes:
In 1989 Hurricane Hugo was prepared to enter into Puerto Rico, a friend suggested a quiche recipe. I prepared this recipe the day before the storm, it was perfect during the storm and kept well in the fridge for several days after the storm, when we had no electricity. Whenever I prepare it, I am reminded of those days.
