Balls and Walnuts
more than you ever wanted to know
Ever have one of those days
. . . where you ain’t got bupkes?
Don’t get me wrong. I had a great day editing and writing, but now I’m spent. My one inspiration was, “Gee, it’s been a long time since I’ve done a sex post,” but then I got discouraged because I couldn’t find a web page discussing Prairie Muffin bedroom habits, and before long I ended up at one of the online skin sites. Again.
I don’t know about you, but looking at that stuff alone depresses me. So, to perk up my spirits, I headed over to YouTube and watched Keith Olbermann pwn Bill O’Reilly. (Hey, did I use that slang right? Pwn? Am I cool or what?)
Now at least I’m not depressed, but I’m still nearly empty-handed.
Um, if you have a filthy, and I mean filthy mind, that last line came out all wrong.
One thing to report: croissants make a decent bread pudding substrate, but I think white bread is superior. White bread-based bread puddings puff higher. Caveat: these were not the greatest croissants.
Show of hands: who made bread pudding tonight?
D.
Nope, no pudding but I do have a very filthy mind if that counts for anything.
(hand raised) Moi. Modified the bourbon sauce to a burnt-sugar variation to avoid the alcohol. ‘Twas ymmy. My progeny send their thanks.
I’m not really here, btw. I’m somewhere else being a good writer and doing my revisions. You’re just imagining this comment.
I haven’t made it yet but I’m a-gettin’ there. Needed some ingredients…like bread.
Okay – just read the Prairie Muffin manifesto – and it’s enough to make me want to turn into another George Sand.
Pwn? Man, I’m out of it.
Didn’t make the bread pudding. But I printed the recipe and bought the ingredients. Monday’s my day off, so I’ll probably attempt it then.
I made chocolate cake and chocolate frosting for yet another birthday cake (frosting is 1 pint of heavy cream, 10 oz of good chocolate. urghhhh) and I must say I’m sick of chocolate.
Anna’s Birthday. She’s two, so I made her favorite, fudge marble cake from a mix with fudge frosting from a can (I know.). Anyhow, she wound up wanting only ice cream.
Here’s the deal. If I don’t go to Shrove Tuesday dinner at church I’m definitely making bread pudding on Tuesday.
Speaking of cake, I have a photo on the way . . .
I printed the recipe and have added the ingredients I don’t have to the list: Milk, cream, and white bread.
Oh yeah, I don’t have a ramekin [um, not sure what that is.*wanders to the other window to google it* it looks like a ceramic bowl. Can I use a glass 8 x 8 square pan instead?]
I’ll let you know how it turns out.
I think I figured out why the pesto worried me a little [still haven’t tried it yet]. It’s because I’m not sure I’ve ever had it, so I don’t know what it’s supposed to taste like.
So if I hate it, did I screw it up, or is it supposed to taste like that? Makes no sense, but I think that’s the deal.
Bread pudding, I’ve had before, so I should be good to go!
