Coconut Tapioca Pudding

Coconut Tapioca Pudding

I’m in Boston for work, waiting out the rain today, but yesterday I pounded the pavement for a good chunk of the day, and it reminds me why I love hanging out in cities so much (now that I no longer live in one).  Remember when a few months ago my friend and I impulsively took advantage of an airline sale and ended up in London for the weekend?  The inspiration for this recipe for coconut tapioca pudding comes from that, and the boozy brunch at Scarlett Green, an Australian-themed place tucked into a corner in Soho, that fueled our half-marathon of walking for the day.

Pepper and Onion Crustless Quiche

Pepper and Onion Crustless Quiche

Well, I got it.

I got The Cold, the one that’s been lingering around for the past few months. I’ve watch from afar as friends pumped themselves with remedies, home and otherwise, and near as I prayed and hoped that I’d be spared this season.

Not so lucky.

I realized as I called in sick on Tuesday that I haven’t been sick, like home-from-work sick, in years. In fact, by the way that Crawley is acting, questioning and skiddish about every cough and nose blow, that it might be the first time he’s ever seen me with a cold!  What I’m trying to say is that it doesn’t happen often, so when it does, man I’m a baby.

It means that all of the food that I worked so hard to prepare last weekend is sitting in my fridge barely touched and I’m relying on toast and cereal to get me through the week until I can sweat this out and get back to business. Each day is better and I’m confident by Sunday’s tennis match I’ll be ready to rock and roll.

healthy pepper and onion crustless quiche

Positive thoughts do it every time. And some Advil cold and sinus.

As for food, whether or not I’m sick, sometimes I just want something easy, to throw together and forget it. This spicy southwestern pepper and onion crustless quiche is it. It’s my standby when friends are coming over because most people like spicy egg things, and also because my time is better spent baking homemade scones, biscuits or muffins. Because, breadstuffs are the best things about brunch, right?
