Have you heard this nonsense that TN may no longer observe daylight savings time? It has been proposed that after the clocks advance this spring, to never change them again in the state of Tennessee. At first I heard that the entire state was going to be in Eastern time which made absolutely zero sense since most of the state resides in Central time.

Thankfully that was wrong information. But either way I don’t like the idea. TN borders so many states that it undoubtedly would cause problems for cities (such as Memphis) on the edges. However I would be okay with a nation-wide eternal continuation of daylight savings. No more winters with 4:30 pm sunsets? Sounds fantastic to me.

This quiche was actually made the morning after all that snow hit east TN. I figured it was a good opportunity to make my parents breakfast and actually beat my dad to the punch because he had the same idea, but I woke up earlier. I decided to let him cook breakfast on Valentine’s Day instead.

So delicious,quick and easy. Only had a little goat cheese left so I used Brie. It’s in the oven but I think it will be fine. Love this recipe.

I know that Arizona doesn’t observe DST…but I hadn’t heard about that for TN! Crazy. I could do without 4:30 sundown also. For the record. Yay for quiche! This is filled with so much goodness.

Sometimes i wish we would get rid of daylight savings too…I hate in in the winter. But then summer comes and I love it, so I guess I’m on the fence. What I’m not on the fence about though is this dang quiche! I have never made a quiche, but I think Logan would LOVE it, so I need to get my buns in that kitchen!
