The first time I had quiche was at a conference and I think I’ve seen quiche at every conference breakfast table since, as a matter of fact, if you DON’T have quiche at your conference, what are you even doing? Needless to say I LOVE a good egg pie. Does everyone else call it that? or just me?? Quiche sounds like a project but this one genuinely isn’t. Pre-made pie crust, pre-cooked sausage, shredded cheese, six eggs, and the air fryer does the rest in 15 minutes.

I’m old enough to remember when Munchkins were introduced, and I remember exactly how I felt about it — like Dunkin had figured out that the best part of a donut was always the first bite, and they’d found a way to make the whole thing be that. I was working a corporate job when I first brought a box of them into the office. Ten-pack becomes a hundred-pack when you’re in a conference room, and I walked in with that pink box like I’d done something. I was absolutely the star of that morning.

First, I want to talk about the registration process, because it was traumatic. I logged in around 11:45 for a 12 o’clock registration, and when I got in, I was about the 10,000th person in the queue. By the time 12 o’clock hit, I was somehow able to register for the Women’s Doubles — which was amazing, but the process itself? Stressful doesn’t cover it. That kicked off 13 weeks of training.
