Yes that's kind of my point, it's just stuff. A soufflé is very different from Yorkshire pudding which as you know is made with batter, not whipped egg whites. They both rise due to heat and steam, but soufflés are more delicate and airy. And the whipped egg whites allow the suspension of ingredients like cheese or chocolate sauce, which takes them to a different level from Yorkshire pudding which I also like.
I’m sorry for your loss. It’s said that women expand their wardrobes while men merely replicate, and there’s truth in that, but not because we’re lazy (well, maybe a little because we’re lazy) but because we have an intuitive, emotional, irrational connection not only to sentient beings but to inanimate objects — an article of clothing, a Lamborghini Huracan (or, in my case, a 1963 Ford Fairlane station wagon with a flathead six, a three-on-a-tree shifter, and a rear compartment exactly the size of a double bed) — as well. As for the wonders of Turin, to your list I’d add the original Grom gelato shop, a knock-your-socks-off automobile museum, pistachio-cream-filled cornetti, and, best of all, bicerin, the coffee preparation nonpareil.
Had the bicerin, ran out of time for the car museum but we did go to the Egyptian Museum which is fantastic. Thanks for your sympathy, the worst thing about theft is the feeling of being invaded.
Well. You know. It’s really disappointing this happened to you but you get to buy new stuff !!
And about the soufflé…. I have been obsessed with Yorkshire puddings! And as as Italian this stuff is pure heaven. Is soufflé the same texture. ?

Sounds absolutely delicious. However soufflés are out of my expertise! I will have to settle with Yorkshire pudding. Thank you for the comparison!
