There's nothing like the let-down at the end of a wonderful vacation - after all the relaxation and fun, things just jolt to a halt. And all of a sudden, you're dropped like a rock back into the real world. Screeeeeccchhhh! And you're done. No more ice cream or cupcakes (and more cupcakes) for lunch. No more massive bowls of noodles, fantastic pizzas, or amazing brunches. Don't forget the chocolate, the pancakes at the neighborhood cafe, and the hole-in-the wall mexican. *sigh*
Well, maybe not nothing. These chocolate souffles? They're even shorter on the relaxation and fun than my latest vacation to Seattle. Thirty seconds, a minute - that's all you have to admire them before they begin to fall. And let me tell you - 5 minutes and they're pretty much gone.
*sigh*

You went to Delancey!? So jealous. I want to know more!
PS these souffles - gorgeous!
They are adorable! You are the miniature queen.
Cute and you were right--chocolaty and great! (I mentioned you in my post. Think you're kinda great and all. ;)
Seems like everyone's welcoming fall with a chocolate dish of some sort. I baked brownies on Sunday and April (http://www.girlgonegourmet.com/) baked choc chip cookies. There really isn't anything more comforting I say :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip to Seattle!
Yep, that was pretty much the time frame around here with the souffles also...guys had them eaten in no time flat and wanted MORE. Yours look lovely. Fun time in Seattle!
I love your individual souffles! Coming back to reality after vacation is the worst. Have a great week.
Cute souffles! So, tell us more about your trip to Seattle. Inquiring minds . . . Are you going to move there?
I'm currently on vacation right now and can totally relate.
Cute little cups! Souffle looks good too.
Your souffles look super cute!!!
theo chocolate is wonderful...i hope you got to visit the factory/tasting room itself-- so fun! i like trophy cupcakes...will have to get my mum to shuttle me to royale next time i'm out there. delancy, too...that would be awesome. glad you had a great time. oh yeah, the souffles--they look great, even if the greatness was short-lived.
The short-lived pleasures keep you from taking them for granted, right? Your minis are adorable and I'm really glad you had such a great time on your Seattle vacation. BTW, thanks for the baking tips; I used your time estimate when I made mine.
I'm so jealous of your trip to Seattle - it's been on my list of places to visit for a while but I haven't made it there yet! I hope you had a fantastic time! Your souffles look yummy. I loved this recipe. I made two minis and ate them both myself :)
Sounds like you had a fantastic trip! Love souffles and yours look so delicious! Love the little cups, very very cute!
It doesn't sound like these went all that well. :( I love your parallels though. :)
I just clicked on your top photo to view a larger view of it and let me just say... sigh. Your crust looks GORGEOUS and I totally wish I had another souffle right here with me now.
They are really beautiful and short lived like most nice things !!
Wow- just looking at all the links you have on this post kinda makes me depressed and I didn't even go anywhere! What a fun trip.
The souffle looks great though!
Cute cups, and delicious souffles!
YOurs look great!! I loved this!
So... I'm here and l'm lookin around and I'm wonderin where's the post about the Seattle trip, huh? Okay, here is me.................waiting........................dum de dum de dum. Don't keep us in suspense. he eh
Okay, about souffle's. They were pretty good for what reminded me of a flourless choc cake. A nice launch into the souffle making quandry. Don't you think?
They still taste good even when they''ve fallen. Great job especially for a traveler just returning home.

Your Chocolate Souffles look so cute and dainty in your ramekins!
I love your tiny treats!
I am glad you had a great visit to Seattle. That pizza was good as was the free grazing at Theo Chocolate. Your soufflés look lovely in their little chocolate pots. Did you make it to Oaxaca de la Carte?
But did they taste good? That's all that matters really? Think your souffle looks great. I'd be happy to tuck into one - or two!
The rise and fall of the souffle. I think I could eat that in less than 5 minutes. And do tell us about your Seattle trip.
Sounds like you had a great time on vacation. And some great eats.
Souffles look just fine to me. Great job.
All the links just show us what an amazing vacation you've had! Lucky you =)
The souffle looks great, and doesn't that happen with all souffles? The falling part? I have a great way to combat it though, eat it up before it can even begin to fall :P
Sounds like you had a fantastic trip to Seattle. Your mini-souffles look awesome.
