Souffle, Grilled Pork, and Intriguing Mash

The night Matt proposed to me we were on a cruise and eating at a super upscale restaurant on the ship. For an appetizer I had the best goat cheese souffle. Turns out that the chef on the ship created the recipe and doesn't share it with anyone - not even chef's on the same cruise line. It was awesome.

Tonight, I found a recipe for a goat cheese souffle - so we tried it. It was quite tasty: incredibly light and airy (like nothing I remember having before). Plus, the Boursin cheese was actually more noticeable of a taste than the goat cheese so for those of you who don't care for goat cheese very much - this is still worth trying.

We also had pork tenderloin that dad sliced into thick slices, wrapped in bacon, and grilled on skewers while basting with a chimichurri sauce (a parsley style pesto with lots of garlic). Most intriguing for the night was the sweet potato, pineapple, and banana mash. I was skeptical but man it was good. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS. Let me know and I'll get you the recipe.
