Today is National Grand Marnier Day. I was all in favor of whipping up my favorite dessert – a Grand Marnier Soufflé served with a Crème Anglaise or Vanilla Custard Sauce. Yeah, that’s my favorite. It’s not Hubby’s favorite when it comes to Soufflés. He prefers a Chocolate Soufflé with a light Dove Chocolate Sauce.

Wow – we’ve reached the middle of September already. Hard to believe. Of all the seasons, I really think I love fall the best. The days are still warm, but the nights are cool. There is a hint of smoke in the air from nearby fireplaces. And a crispness that no other season can impart.
