Tonight, I made a sullen
Years ago, back when I was...er pretty much the same as now, but younger, I could make soufflés. Dead easy.
Tried to make a cheese one this evening, for the first time in around 10 years. Had to look at a recipe, and everything.
Admittedly, I then largely ignored said recipe. But the result wasn't really a soufflé. It was quite pleasant, rather heavier textured, and not unlike the inside of a flan in some ways. We decided it was a cheese and onion sullen, as it sat there and looked back at Frances and I.
Notes to self: don't use our daft cutlery to measure tablespoons, it doesn't work, use the measure. Find the whisk-y bit for the Kenwood (or steal spare from parents), beating eggwhites by hand sucks. Find the egg separator, you're not competent to separate eggs using only the shells. When the recipe says "serves 4", don't bump up the quantities to make sure there's enough for 2. Or not by too much.

It was just that all the things which immediately sprung to mind to complete the sentence hadn't changed. I don't look any different, for example.
And writing the sentence "back when I was young and foolish" implies I'm old and wise now :) Older and wiser, maybe, but my foolishness still astounds me sometimes...
souffles

Re: souffles
No it isn't. Soufflés (particularly bad soufflés) have notoriously poor grammar.
