Cooking instruction summary:

Add flour, powdered sugar, salt, and baking powder to a large food processor and pulse a few times to combine ingredients.Add butter and pulse until the butter is almost evenly distributed, but not quite.Add orange juice, and pulse a few more times.Add water, one tablespoon at a time, pulsing in between each addition, until the dough is almost cohesive. It won't quite form a ball yet.At this point, empty out food processor onto a piece of parchment paper and fold the dough over onto itself, repeating until the crumbs all become cohesive and you can form a dough ball. If you think it is still too dry, spray it with a little water.Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate while you are making the quiche filling.Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.Add onions and cook until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.Add garlic, and cook another minute.Add sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and spinach, season with salt, and cook, stirring often, until spinach has wilted.After this is done, remove from heat.In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.First, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.Roll out crust dough into a circle that is big enough so that it will hang just a little over the edges of your pie pan.Lay into pan and then press so it is snug against the side of the pan. You can do whatever type of crust decor that you want. I did the simple crimp.Place cooked veggie mixture over pie crust bottom, then top with egg/milk mixture.Top with feta cheese.Bake in preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, until quiche is golden and middle is set. Make sure it does not seem liquid-y in the middle. If it does, bake it for another 5-10 minutes.Let sit for 10-15 minutes.Sprinkle with fresh parsley.Cut into slices and enjoy!

Directions Shlomo goes to see his psychiatrist. "Doctor, my wife Fay is being unfaithful to me. Every night, she goes to Palwin’s Wine Bar and picks up a man. She sleeps with anybody who asks her to. I`m going crazy with worry. What on earth should I do?" Relax," says the Doctor, "take a couple of deep breaths and try to calm down. Now, first of all tell me exactly where Palwin’s Wine Bar is."
