Baked and nearly ready... Bread Pudding ( CLICK on picture for recipe)
I do enjoy recipes where the product turns out the same every time you make it… but bread pudding isn’t one of those type of recipes. Chefs usually made bread pudding with just about anything they had on hand: croissants, slices of cake, muffins… and yes, bread.
So my usual trip to the day old baker often yields some surprising results: blueberry jam filled puff pastry turnovers, muffins and some french bread ( I prefer baguettes). Oh I have to let it cool… which will give me time to prepare a very nice Amarula/ Barenjager sauce.
Nothing brings a smile at brunch like a quiche... and for those fun times a little champagne!
If I have any culinary weakness , it is for that wonderful invention of that great German dish…. ‘quiche!’ Okay, you think it is so French, but it is not. Read the first link below for it’s great story:
Yar, the world is full of quiches and various sea creatures, but if it be some strong drink to settle your innards, Capt’n Rog Crab Quiche be what yar lookin for.
A retraction buried deep within the bowels of the local paper, but a retraction none-the-less CLICK on the picture to read the original article.
Let’s not dwell too much on the nuances of newspaper misquotes, but as I am cleaning up some of the issues surrounding a free speech lawsuit in which I prevailed, I thought it important enough to ensure that the record was made clear.
Search “Cal Poly and Saudi Arabia” and you will read what the story was really about. It was concerning a large public concern by many – including me – that Cal Poly was planning to do the business of setting up engineering classes in Saudi Arabia. It seems rather clear — at least to me — that only certain people would be invited to teach and others would be systematically excluded. Would women be allowed to teach? I think not.
I asked a military officer where all the ‘foreign fighters’ ( our media loves to use words that shows they don’t take sides) were originating? In the early days, so many were coming from Saudi Arabia, but this torrent has since been reduced to a trickle … it seems that volunteers are now getting hard to find. Now-a-days, I understand many ‘foreign fighters’ are coming from north Africa.
So given what I just said, my question to Cal Poly was a simple one: was there a chance that we would be providing certain Saudis with skills that could be used against us? So I asked in my blog: (is) “Cal Poly … training tomorrow’s terrorists?”
Free speech may have died in England and is crippled in Europe … but for now, if we are vigilant, the right of free speech will continue to help us ask those tough questions which will help us find American solutions to the problems of our day.
