Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Maybe I spelled it wrong?

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.

Re pineapple, that is not just gross, but people are paying like $1200 an ounce for that shit (is my impression of Teavana) and getting shorted.

Re dead baby birds, you should tell them yes and they all need to wear SARS masks for the next six weeks, just to be sure.

Re life in general: can I get a round of Fuck Cancer? My dad got diagnosed with prostate cancer this week. "Moderately aggressive" is all I know so far.

It is delicious! Whatever it is.

So we are watching Dinosaur Train (kill me) which is surprisingly this weirdly inclusive show. What with pterodons adopting a T. Rex.

I had shiitakes sauteed with a splash of red wine and asparagus again. It's gonna be a regular weekend meal while the local asparagus is available. Simple, nothing to disguise the flavors.

brenda, I'm sorry.

Shit, brenda, that's awful. I'm so sorry.
