Last year, one of Jeremy's mom's friends gave her a 50 pound bag of pecans that had lived in the back of her truck over the winter in Mississippi. They then lived in Trish's closet for a while, until we hauled them out on the porch one night and started shucking them. Miraculously most of them weren't rancid, and after an hour we had a few ziplocs of pecans (and we'd only done half the bag!)
We were having dinner that night and combined the pecans with the chard, arugula and herbs in the quiche we were making. It was damn good--the nutty crunch of the pecans was a tasty addition and one I would recommend.
Jeremy had found a new recipe for the quiche crust and had some left over. My mom used to roll it in a mound and sprinkle it with sugar and bake it. Because I grew up on the Betty Crocker recipe for crusts, it was usually pretty damn bland. What I like to do instead is use whatever fruit is handy (in this case some squishy cherries from the grocery store) and spread it on the rolled out bit of crust. Drop little bits of jam/jelly and a bit of butter on top (or spray the whole thing with a good burst of Pam), sprinkle with sugar and bake until the fruit is soft. My god it was good----so don't throw out that leftover chunk of crust. Make a mini-pie!

I'd made the dessert ahead of time (standard crisp recipe) and the rhubarb and berries were so ripe and wet, that they made this messy pool of juice that sloshed all over the back seat of the car. Tasty, but damn sticky.
