What's up with Teavana and Starbucks? I'm told I can use my starbucks card at Teavana now.

I made a green chile and sausage souffle this morning (but not really, just mostly). Ate some then graded while the kids played at home. Then we went to the grocery. I came home and made lunch for us, then started hazelnut macaroons. Then we went to the park and when I got back home, I finished the macaroons and made a brisket that is braising.

I love days at home.

The status is NOT quo.

I'm about to leave for a girls' weekend: two nights in Santa Barbara with a Solvang wine tour. Whee!

Pix, that sounds awesome.

One of the firms I'm trying to set up interviews with has an office in Santa Barbara, which I admit would be a lovely place to live...

Was it a better shopping experience, LeN?

no. Beau and I did not buy anything there and we felt the employees were icky.

I bet they were digging through the pineapple tea too!

Maybe I spelled it wrong?

Oh damn. The brisket I'm making smells AMAZING. too bad it has to rest until tomorrow. I am hungry now.

Only mostly a souffle, or only mostly made, Kat?

I am planning my meals for the next little while and none of them are brisket or chili verde or green chile and sausage anything. At least not so far, I suppose I could still make changes...tomorrow I am having a blueberry souffle, in part so I can bop around singing that to Raspberry Beret all day, but other meals are less set in stone.

The Tea Room over in Dixon that I recently found out about but haven't been to yet has a Tea Tasting Extravaganza on its Calendar for September. I may have to go to that.

Only sort of a souffle. I made a meringue, then folded yellows and a little bit of flour in. Added cheese, sausage and green chiles then baked. It wasn't in a souffle dish, but a casserole pan. I don't even know. Is that souffle or something else?

You can make souffles in a casserole dish, that's totally allowed. Egg whites whipped up, egg yolks and flour folded in (or bechamel, I guess? I'm not good with sauce names and I am liberal in what liquids I think are okay to add at that point), plus flavorful bits of whatever = souffle in my book.
