There are some things that you just remember. They might not have even been anything special, but you'll never forget them. For me, one of those was the first time I ever had quiche.
It was the summer after ninth grade. My mom is an amazing cook, though I've never seen her make quiche. As such, I first had it when I went to the beach with my youth group.
It was breakfast, a few days into trip. I noticed there was a new item at breakfast, a departure from the traditional bacon, eggs, and pancakes we'd been having all the other days. It was this strange pie-like substance, filled with broccoli, eggs, and cheese.
I take a small slice, just to try it. I don't want to waste food, after all. After one bite, I know I want more. I ate several pieces of the strange egg pie. It was a perfect food.
Over the course of that day, I asked several people if they tried the egg pie. Eventually they told me it was quiche. How is this possible? Isn't quiche a food for women and men without beards? How is this quiche? This is a solid manly meal.
I've been making quiche recently. It's easy to make, given the right recipe. I'm not going to shave my beard and start wearing tights. No, I can be manly and keep eating quiche, because my identity is found in Christ, not in what I eat (or even the hair on my face).

Excuse Me, You Have Quiche in Your Beard.
