Julia - I do not think your books are suited for me.  This is why I waited until I was with Catherine to attempt a recipe. 
I think we succeeded!  Evidence...
I think I will stick to the basics for now, though.  Below are our steps along the way:
|  | 
| Spinach and scallions... | 
|  | 
| Making the sauce... | 
|  | 
| Separating the eggs... | 
|  | 
| Swiss cheese...the more the merrier... | 
|  | 
| Adding yolks to the sauce... | 
|  | 
| Egg whites...the main ingredient.... | 
|  | 
| Mixing it all before we... | 
|  | 
| Slowly folded in egg whites... | 
|  | 
| More egg whites... | 
|  | 
| Lining the pan with cheese and butter...Catherine noted to butter in the upwards direction to encourage it to rise... | 
|  | 
| Catherine also showed me another trick.  By scraping the edge of the pan with your finger, it will rise upward more than outward. | 
|  | 
| Impatiently waiting...30 minutes FINALLY.  Yes, we got to eat at 10.  It was a long day and a late start! | 
|  | 
| Example of patiently waiting... | 
|  | 
| And the result! | 
Catherine just came back from France a couple weeks ago so this was perfect.  We thought about macaroons but for some reason they scare me.  I think I will eventually get over it...
