I'm married to a frog, also (from Neufchateau). Aren't they fun? He's been in the US since he turned 18, and he's losing his croak a bit, but he still has a frog's heart. I'm going to make him Thomas's mother's leek pie, because I'm getting very tired of my husband's mother's leek SOUP. Thanks for posting the recipe!

When I go back to the States, my family always insists I make quiche! They think it's something really elaborate and special (even though there's plenty of quiche served in the USA...) but it's actually so simple!
I love leeks, but am not so crazy about leek soup. Try leeks au gratin or leeks vinaigrette if your hubby has a leek quota...
