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.
