Cheese Grits Souffle

I did a fairly acceptable immitation of MKR's Cheese Grits Souffle which is found on page 74 of CCC. I'm always nervous about any recipe that has souffle as its last name, but I shouldn't have been. I followed her directions and the result was delectable. The only change I made was to use smoked gouda in the original recipe. Yum.

Had a strange thought while sitting on the porch looking out at the three giant oak trees that border the B&B to the left. These trees weren't much smaller when MKR saw them. Given the very real possibility of her having sat on my porch in the 50's, the oaks were full size then. I know she visited Crawford and possibly discussed her case on the porch. The oak trees have seen much history.

Around 3:00 a neighbor came with a tiny squirrel in a box with fluffy kleenex bedding. It was a baby that had fallen off the power lines and was stunned. The neighbor was going to host a Brownie meeting and wanted to know if I could babysit for the stunned squirrel.

I did.
