OT Perfect comfort food??
Dawne Peterson
I made one of mine--bread pudding. I just fished it out of the oven, and it
is golden and puffy. Warm table cream, beaten eggs, maple syrup, pinch of
salt, pour it all over the bread and bake. So simple really--although I did
go to the trouble of cutting the cinnamon raisin bread into nice triangle
quarters and lining them up in rows. Spoon some out, pour on a little
cream, or some ice cream, or some more syrup, or make a little whisky sauce
if you arevvery patient which I won't be. And the leftovers make
breakfast.
So what do you eat to cheer you up on a cold miserable day??

pancakes, big plain ones, which we would eat with savoury mince, or
lemon or cinnamon and sugar.
We Brits don't usually make bread pudding the American way. It's a poor
man's pudding, made with bread and butter, milk and sugar. If you can
you put in sultanas and/or egg, but it isn't necessary.
I had an African maid once, to whom I gave some I'd made, and told her
how to make it. A couple of weeks later I asked her if she ever made it
at home. She said she made it every Sunday. I asked if she had shown
her friends how to make it, and she replied "Oh, no, I don't want them
all to make what I make!"

That Onion Tart sounds interesting! When you have time could you share the
recipe? I must remember the rum soaked raisins when I next make bread
pudding! :)

This is NOT why I moved to California!
I actually just finished the last of a batch of comfort food: goulasch
with spaetzle. Simple enough to make: toss a pound of 1" cubes of beef
in the crockpot with a can of diced tomatoes, a 15-ounce can of tomato
sauce, copious amounts of paprika and onion powder, a little allspice,
and as much water as necessary to raise the level of liquid to cover the
beef.
I do have a recipe for spaetzle, but it's a PITA to make them in
single-person quantities, so I cheat and use the pre-made ones from the
German butcher store.

I saw a nice presentation recently where the grilled cheese sandwich was cut
up into many little squares and used as croutons floating on the tomato
soup. Struck me as really indulgent and lazy and something I want someone
to do for me next time I have a cold.

maple syrup (VBG). Actually, the basic recipe here is much as you
say--bread and butter, milk and sugar, usually an egg--all to use up bread
going stale. But I like to use this nice cinnamon raisin bread I pick up at
half price sometimes. I was going to say day old, but who knows how long
bread sits in the store before it is marked down!! And I happened to have
picked up some table cream, also half price--so indulged. I have made it
with plain bread made into jam or marmalade sandwiches, then cut up. And
once I made a really decadent one which had cubes of almond paste , stale
croissants and frozen raspberries, which I am told was a Danish recipe.
Funny how much we have fancified some of the old reliables (e.g. macaroni
baked with 5 cheeses, instead of the last part of the block of Cheddar that
was starting to get hard), and how good the old reliables are all by
themselves.

That's the beauty of bread pudding - it can be made from any kind of
left-overs. I once used a new recipe to make a honey cake, which turned
out to be very tough. I made BP with it, and it was enjoyed by the
whole family. I've used all kinds of stale bread, buns, etc. at
different times. I've never tried it with jam or marmalade sandwiches,
though. It's an ides!
Pancakes are another good use for left-overs, especially sour milk and
cream.

hungry. I happen to have part of a ham leftover, and I could start soaking

>>> I soak raisins for bread pudding in rum overnight lol
I was thinking about you this morning while I made Bishop's Bread for my
Bible Study class tonight---soaked the raisins in rum for a while to get
them nicely plumped up.
Bishop's Bread is a basic quickbread to which you add all possible luxurious
ingredients. Not sure whether people thought this is how bishops ate, or
just that this would be the right thing to serve a bishop should one turn
up. The recipe I have calls for raisins or currants, walnuts, chocolate
chips and glace cherries. I used orange peel instead of the cherries, as I
love the combination of orange and chocolate, and thought the rummy raisins
would work well with those.
And now comes an email that my Bible Study is cancelled. i am tempted to
scoff down a large part of the bread, but think I will maybe pour a little
more rum over it, wrap it up, and take it to church for Sunday coffee time.

dumping out the juice and filling the jar with vodka or everclear. Let the
cherries soak and in a week or two take out the cherries and dip them in hot
choclate and let them cool off. Package up the choclate covered cherries and
send them to me, then drink the cherry juice/vodka/everclear wine that is
left - waste not - want not.
If you take a dozen or two cherries (I'll suffer) to your bridge club for
the members, after about 20 minutes you ought to win every hand.

They were putting dark red long-stemmed Okanogan cherries into vats of
brandy to let them soak for several months. They are chocolate dipped with
the long stems still on, and sold as a Christmas specialty. I thought the
stems were for aesthetic reasons, but your post makes me think maybe they
are to hang on to once the room starts spinning. I have a jar of
Maraschinos in the cupboard. Now I have a project for tomorrow morning.
