Special Note: The following is Allyn's original recipe...
it's a joke. I had put this in the WebLetter, as it appears below, but
saner heads prevailed and Allyn came up with an alternative.
Allyn has a unique sense of humor. When making our various videos, Allyn's
favorite parts were the out-takes, and lest we not have any, he would often
create them. It really didn't matter that no one but he would ever see
them. We would sit in front of the screen and crack up at each blooper.
Allyn is also the guy who will drop everything if someone needs help. We might
look out the front window to see Allyn's helping to push a stranger's
car down the street. He regularly donates blood and has rescued a string of
animals, nursing them to health or finding their owners. He buys 100 lb bags of
bird seed that he puts out for the birds each morning. We feel privilaged to
have him work with us.
Allyn's comment about the recipe below was, "what's the worst that
could happen? someone would make it, and it would taste like poop..."
Allyn's recipe: Chocolate/Beet Soufflé Tar-Tar with Peanut
Butter Grey Poupon Sauce
I grew up in the Minnesota where variations of
this recipe were always popular around the Christmas holiday season. The recipe
below is grandma Perry's special version of this holiday treat. I hope you
enjoy this as much as I do.

The above is as grandma made this recipe every Christmas
morning for the last 30 years of her life. I only had this version once, after
which we always ate Christmas breakfast at home. After I got married the recipe
actually became a tradition while watching the Super Bowl. Being a
down-to-earth kind of guy, I have simplified the recipe. In my version:
Combine the eggs, Grey Poupon, and cream and fry gently in a well greased
frying pan until firm.
Gently slide out of the pan onto a serving platter. Cover one half with diced
beets and fold the other half over.
Dust lightly with chocolate and cut into 4 portions, Garnish with peanut butter
and grapefruit zest.
Serve immediately with a shot of Tequila.
