Chocolate Souffle

Day 45 Recipe 26

Last Friday, I made chocolate souffle. I was a little worried about making this because it had said as a sidebar to the recipe that people are scared of making souffles because they can be tricky. But I followed the directions and only had a small snag in the plan. The directions said to cook for 8-10 minutes, so I started with 8 minutes... but they didn't look quite set, so I added 2 more minutes. Then I took them out, dusted them with powdered sugar, took a picture, and took a bite. Only to find that the middle was still a little soupy. I didn't know if they were supposed to be like this or not... I had never eaten a chocolate souffle before!! So I called my trusty neighbor, Libby, and she said that it should be baked all through out. So I put it back in, and it had to cook for like 5 more minutes. I figured that it had to be done. It tasted pretty good. I have a couple of more souffles to make in the cookbook, so hopefully I will have more success with those!

Currant Bread Pudding

Day 34 Recipe 22

For the last couple of days, I have not been feeling the best. I have been fighting a cold and yesterday, felt completely awful. But I still had to make this bread pudding recipe before the brioche I made on Thursday became stale. This was a great recipe to make when you are sick. It was very comforting and very easy to make. I again did not bother to look for currants and just used dried cranberries. The bread pudding would have been good without the addition of any sort of fruit, but I think if I ever make it again, I will put some chocolate chips in it!!
