Corn and Bacon Pie
Ingredients

Crust:

1 cup unbleached all purpose flour

3/4 cup fine-grind whole grain cornmeal

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

3 tablespoons chilled solid vegetable shortening (preferably with no trans fats),
diced
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water Nonstick vegetable oil spray

Filling:

1/2 pound bacon, coarsely chopped

1 1/2 cups chopped sweet onion (such as Vidalia or Maui)

1 cup chopped red bell pepper

1 12-ounce package frozen corn kernels (2 1/2 cups), thawed, patted dry

1 1/2 cups half and half
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 cup chopped green onions

1 1/2 cups (packed) coarsely grated Gruyère cheese (about 6 ounces)

Preparation

For crust:
Whisk first 3 ingredients in large bowl. Using back of fork, cut in butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 3 tablespoons ice water. Toss until dough comes together in moist clumps, adding more water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Shape dough into disk. Wrap; chill at least 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish with nonstick spray. Place large piece of parchment paper on work surface. Place dough in center; cover with second sheet of parchment. Roll out dough to 12-inch round. Peel off top parchment. Using bottom parchment as aid, turn dough over into prepared pie dish. Carefully peel off remaining parchment. Fit crust into dish, sealing any tears. Fold excess dough under and crimp edges, forming highstanding rim. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

For filling: Cook bacon in large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Pour off all but 1 1/2 tablespoons drippings. Add onion and pepper to skillet. Sauté until almost tender, about 8 minutes. Add corn; sauté until very tender, about 3 minutes longer. Whisk next 6 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Mix in green onions, then corn mixture. Sprinkle bacon, then cheese over bottom of crust. Pour in egg mixture. Bake pie until filling is golden and just set in center, about 55 minutes. Let pie cool at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. Serve slightly warm.

leadership seminar == foodtrip

i'm back with nothing in mind... hmmm... retrieving history... ok... last saturday we had our club leadership seminar @ chowking - lacson... it was a success for our club though not all went to attend but definitely the majority was there... we had a discussion about a lot of things, starting from our plans and goals but our main topic was on leadership... we are fortunate to have a group of people who are willing to serve fellow students without boundaries for the sake of our society... it ended as a foodtrip... hahhah... but it was a worth while experience and something that we can really be proud of... congrats CIS officers for a job well done... keep it up guys... ok... need to go back to work... peace people!...
