I've made many a souffle in my time and never had it fall quite like this! :ROFLMAO: I must have plopped a pot down on the stove top or something at just the right moment while they were in the oven. Plus I used a syrup sweetener instead of the granular as called for, so that might have factored in.

Anyway, it was still delicious. Peanut Butter Doughnut Soufflé!

Speaking of egg yolks, BBC website has this awesome looking Bundt cake complete with recipe at the bottom. I loved Bundt cake when I was a kid. Much more than regular cake. There was something about the orderliness of the Bundt ring that attracted me. I found it far superior to the chaos of the regular cake. You didn't know what the hell was going to happen when you sunk a knife into a regular cake. They were unstable. But a Bundt, a Bundt always held firm and you could slice as thin as you wanted. No problem. I liked that. It was dependable.

The centuries-old baba recipe made with 96 egg yolks

The baba is often served at Easter in Poland, with the most extraordinary version – the muslin baba – made from a rich dough of flour, yeast, butter and quite a lot of egg yolks.

You don't have to go 96 yolks. I'd never make it that far.

Pumpkin soup….yummy if you add a bit of turmeric and other spices to it. Served with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yoghurt, and a sprinkling of fresh chives and loads of cracked pepper.
 
The wife and I have been gorging on pumpkin cheesecake recently. Also pumpkin English Muffins (what do the English call those?).

They don't. I lived in England for over twenty five years, until the mid 1990s, and the very first time I saw an "English Muffin" was when I moved to Australia (my first question was "WTF are these?" and my second was "why do they call them 'English'??").
 
With both Bilby and I working full time these next few weeks, meal planning is interesting. Today I am making a who mess of mashed potatoes, with crispy bacon bits in it because - why not?, and am cooking sausages. We will have some tonight and the rest will go into oven dishes so that all we need to do when we get home is out them in the oven for 30 minutes to warm through. Slightly healthier than, and a change from, pizza or fish and chips
 
The left over potato and sausage wasn't too bad... I will need to cook more snags though.... but the foundation is there for meal prep. we have quite a few small pyrex dishes with lids, so I can prep up some single serve dinners and go from there for next week. It's just a manner of getting off my butt on the weekend to bulk cook!
 
I burned my whole pot of soup yesterday. I was letting it come to a boil so I could then turn it down and let it simmer for about 10 minutes and then add the rest of the ingredients. I forgot to turn it down and was busy peeling garlic to mince and freeze when I smelled it and it ruined the whole pot. :/

I started a fresh pot, but without carrots, celery, and sweet potato. I had more of everything else and at least I didn't lose the chicken and coconut milk. I had brussels sprouts for something green, and now my soup, which I normally call Ugly Soup, is now Doom Soup because the brussels sprouts look like the skulls in the giant caldron of soup from Conan the Barbarian. I wonder if I can find some little pasta hands.

Now you're talkin'. I use butternut squash which is pretty much the same along with sweet potato and carrot. Also some brown rice and bone broth for stock whipped with an immersion blender. Serve over brussels sprouts and your favorite bean, mine being navy beans. Great cold too.
 
I’m making loaded beans tonight and tomorrow. I take canned beans of different variety and some lentils (canned are just quicker), add chorizo sausage for spice, spices and ham hock meat and cook it up with some tomatoes, capsicum and mushrooms. Let it cook down and serve in tortilla boats with cheese melted in the oven. Easy peasy dinners this week.
