Give me Yesterday's Bread.

Got a loaf of bread that's going stale and hard? Don't let it go to waste. Use it to make some Bread Pudding. Specifically Dark Chocolate Bread Pudding with just a hint of cayenne to spice thing up.

Save that saw for your mother in law's meatloaf, and try this special little dessert for two. (from gourmet magazine).

The picture of the circular saw slicing the stale bread is laugh out loud funny!

Mmmm, Bread Pudding. I grew up on bread pudding. Does it come with whisky sauce?

I like to make bread pudding with sweet bread, or raisin bread.

Great opening photo!
And my wife just *loves* bread pudding.

MOBro said...

OH Cool! A bread saw! How old did you say that bread was?
The bread pudding looks and sounds good, though!

Bread on a chop saw? Gee whiz, I really do like the way you think.

(Never mind that the pudding looks like it'd be worth running off the calories!)

Well I know what I'm having for dessert on Friday!

I tear up the pieces and throw them in soup. Hardness gone in a flash, flavor is still there. Your suggestions and others above sound great.

You are a wicked woman. Wicked, wicked, wicked.

It is winter here, and 'the wet' has come. I normally grind my teeth and resist your culinary wiles, but this time... Do you have any idea how many miles I shall have to walk in the rain to burn off the calories?

Temptress. Wicked, wicked temptress.

At least it doesn't have bacon in it.


Best wishes.

I'm sure that being chased by zombies might burn more calories than that, no? Mom and Papa Bear are big time traditionalists when it comes to bread pudding, but I'm going to sneak this one in on them anyway.

Brigid said...

Shannon - you're right. Even if the figure is given in calories per minute, I think Zombies would take more.

Eeek!! Time zone change. I'm late!

Talk to you later.

Hams used to call their wives their "XYL". A "YL" is a Young Lady, so calling her your "X"YL meant you married her. Somewhere along the line it changed to "YF", which I prefer.
And yep, we made it official on Valentine's Day.

Thanks for the gigglesnort on the 'Skiing-uphill' category. I had to read it twice....

Brigid said...

Jim - congratulations. You were smart, to not let that one go.

This blog is a class act. To maintain the high standard, let me merely say

"Hiking-with small pack 8.8"

"Sex-active 5.9"

I'm going walking (in the rain) to ponder which one I'm doing wrong.

I may be some time.


Best wishes.
