Day 62, Chocolate Souffle with Rum Sauce

We all have our druthers, no?  Myself, I've recently proven to be more of a mousse person than a souffle person; however, this rum sauce is to die for.

Again, heartfelt gratitude to Lynne Rosetta Casper and her Splendid Table!  You can find the recipe on her website.

Day 61 Southern Comfort Chocolate Pecan Again - A Friend Graduates from College at 41

   A warm spring evening replete with apricot sky and an outdoor graduation party.  We assembled a decadent potluck dinner, played horseshoes, visited with friends and strangers, and ate hedonistically (like the epicureans we all are, deep down).  A blue heron flew over us, and we launched Adam and several of his buddies  into post college life. 
   Adam is a man of real southern charm and manners, a warm and sweet friend, the only guy I personally know to moonlight as an exotic dancer.  He can have Southern Comfort Chocolate Pecan Cake from me any time he asks, as he did  on this particular occasion.

Little French Fudge Cakes from The Splendid Table, Day 60

   I love these, and they are truly fast to make - start to finish in 35 minutes, even with cleanup.   A friend wonders what they'd be like with a marshmallow filling, but I know they're divine just as the recipe is written. 

Friend looks in on production of Little French Fudge Cakes

 with great approval.

   This recipe, along with plenty more, is on The Splendid Table website.  Thank you, Lynn Rossetta Casper!
