You can’t have a holiday weekend without a TV marathon that attempts to keep you indoors on an otherwise beautiful, sunny day. Normally, I don’t give in, even though I am a complete and total TV whore. I love TV and can always find something to amuse myself. Yesterday, I convinced myself to focus on a few neglected blog projects (i.e. scanning recipes for Recovered Recipes) and turned on the TV to serve as background noise.

The TV had been on for nearly 20 minutes before I noticed it was tuned to TLC and a Jon & Kate Plus 8 marathon. For those of you who haven’t heard of the series, it documents the daily lives of a young couple who have 8 young children. They became famous four years ago when Kate gave birth to sextuplets, and added to their family which already included a set of twins (let this be a warning to couples who decide to try for ‘one more’).

Recently, Jon & Kate have made headlines as there are now rumors flying that the marriage is on the rocks, with cheating allegedly occurring on both sides of the marriage. If you believe the media reports, the marriage is supposedly collapsing, falling quickly and steadily downward. Ironically, I chose yesterday to explore souffle making for the very first time.

Can you guess how my souffles turned out?
