Cheese Souffle From Heaven

Tonight, Rob decided to make a plain cheese souffle.  Most of the time, he will add spinach, or smoked salmon, or something else delicious.  This time, we had some "Snowman" gruyere cheese I had inexplicably not eaten!   I love gruyere cheese, and this was very good quality.  A shame to waste on cooking.

The souffle was probably one of the best I have experienced.  It puffed up wonderfully high since there was nothing else weighing it down.  It smelled heavenly and tasted divine.  I may even sacrifice a future chunk of my good gruyere in the future...

The children wanted a Ceasar salad.  Nothing fancy here - plain romaine, bottled dressing and premade croutons.  However Rob grated real reggiano for it, and one kid added lemon juice to the bottled dressing, and outside of the overabundance of croutons, it was actually pretty good.  And the extra acid was a little nod to that GI thing.

We did not have dessert after such a decadent meal.  But if we did, I wonder what it would have been?
