visit from my mother, and food

My mother visited us for three days, arriving by train from Tuesday afternoon, and flying to New Orleans this afternoon. We mostly just visited quietly, except Wednesday we went out to dinner at Cafe Barada, in Cambridge, which has good Lebanese food and a good outdoor patio (a real patio, which has been there since long before the pandemic). It had been hot earlier in the day, but cooled off by the time we went to dinner.

adrian_turtle made chocolate souffles Monday night, and we liked them enough to immediately order proper straight-sided ramekins, so she could make puffier souffles. Those arrived yesterday, and Adrian used them to make more chocolate souffles, which we ate at about 6:00. Very good, but next time we should either make and eat the souffles after dinner, make savory souffles as dinner, or just have a large green salad for supper. Neither my mother nor I had much appetite for asparagus and baked fish a couple of hours after the souffles.
