Turns out yelling about souffles makes people think I’m drunk, which is pretty hilarious. Press* Food&Wine had a souffle special which I passed up for a bombe alaska, and since then I’ve been wishing I also had the souffle. I could always make one, but I’d probably fail miserably. A strawberry vanilla souffle does sound nice if I could pull it off, though.

In other news, I finally decided to test out preparing a squid. Since my visit to Peel St where they had crispy pork and squid Vietnamese style salad (which was amazing!!!), I’ve been craving squid. I thought it’d be difficult, but after watching a video on how to do it, it wasn’t so bad. It actually happened as the video said it would and it was quick, clean and simple! Since I have previously fried squid legs, this time it was the slow cook challenge. The oven was set to less than 100°C and the squid was cooked for 30mins with salt and olive oil in a bag. The end result was very tender squid – though it could have been a little more perfect to be totally melt in the mouth, but this was a great result regardless.

I also impulse bought another terrarium… though by impulse buy, I mean that I agonised over it for a week – the one I wanted last week wasn’t there anymore, but instead there was an equally pretty and cheaper one for me!

And lastly, Apothecary 1878 is the only place in Adelaide that stocks Mr Black, so I had to go try some. It really does taste like coffee!!!! I accidentally drank it too quickly because it was so tasty and am still recovering :(  I also tried their dark chocolate marquis which was very pretty and tasty! I didn’t realise how heavy it was so I was dying by the end of it – but tasty nonetheless!

SOUFFLE.
