This is a sweeter and a more dense bread pudding! (Laura’s Favorite!
The making of bread pudding is nearly as old as history.
Bread pudding was a wonderful solution to what to do with a kitchen full of excess breads and cakes! If you take out your copy of the turn of the century “The Epicurean” by Chef Charles Ranhofer and check out recipes for bread pudding, he will suggest grabbing the scraps of cake and such… and that’s all the help he offers!
Here is a ‘fluffy’ version of the same type of bread pudding … but delicious in its own way.
Our basic bread pudding recipe.

CLICK on the above picture to read a survey of current and retired police officers and what they REALLY think about guns in the hands of law abiding citizens.
With all of this talk about gun control, I have to ask this simple question: WHO are we really trying to protect? According to a recent survey of police officers… it seems that if we are really trying to protect people then we should allow law abiding citizens the right to carry.
Speaking of insanity, have you noticed that it is always the places that guns are forbidden that have the most violence. It doesn’t matter if it is a city, a school, a theater or a university ( the latest was a crazy with a knife)… but if someone is looking to hurt others they look for safe, unarmed, soft targets.
So then, who is really being protected when the majority of Americans become disarmed? The answer is quite simple… those with guards and guns.

My daughter Karla made this cute little bunny to celebrate Easter! Easter is a special time for family, food and remembrance. Everyone has special memories of their favorite Easter… but mine is always the one that is happening today.
We settled on making a wonderful Greek inspired dish “Reddened Leg of Lamb!”
Happy Easter to you and yours!

Here I am with a Wildebeest from my adventures in South Africa and a “Benefactor” certificate from the NRA.
Most of the time I talk about food and family on my blog and I try to stay away from things that upset an evening’s brandy in front of the fire. However, the shrill marketing approach out of Washington is a bit over the top, the New York City uber rich mayor’s latest effort to control the world with his money and local California Senators complaining about gun control all the while bristling with weapons themselves… is unsettling at best.
There is an effort — again out of Washington — to divided and pit people against each other for their own personal gain. They’ve enlisted the usual wacked out celebrities, hypocrites and opportunists to carry water for them on gun control.
One would think getting the country moving forward would be high on the agenda, creating new jobs, factories and the like… but again, I am naive.
So, let me recommend to you that you might like to participate in this discussion by joining the NRA (even if you have never fired a gun) and receiving training and go on a hunt and experience what life and living is all about. I have a few links to the right that might help you get started!
You have a right called the second amendment … it is worth experiencing & learning more about!

I think we have all heard about the so-called health benefits of red wine and I think it tends to make most of us smile a little. We smile when some folks say they smoke marijuana for their glaucoma… it’s sort of the same thing.
However, I have been taking RESVERATROL now for about a month and I am a bit surprised at how much better I feel… granted I am taking the equivalent of 4000 glasses of wine… but it seems to be more than an expected placebo effect.
Anyway, just thought I’d mention it.
