Pumpkin Cheesecake Bread Pudding

  • Jan. 5th, 2010 at 7:45 PM
Why, yes, I did say Pumpkin Cheesecake Bread Pudding. Rethinking some resolutions?

If it's cold where you live, you neeeeed to make this delicious, simple bread pudding. It's a humble, gorgeous, comforting, easy dessert you'll love. My boyfriend is already asking when I'm going to make it again -- good sign!

This pudding isn't the only thing that's amazing; the cookbook it comes from is phenomenal as well. Heirloom Baking with the Brass Sisters is a collection of heirloom recipes from the Brass family, as well as from yard sales, used bookstores, antique cookbooks, and various family collections.




Normally I post the full recipe in my post here, but in order to only reprint the Brass Sisters' recipe once (with permission), I've only recorded it on my personal baking blog, linked below. You can also read a full review of their cookbook there.

Vinegar

Vinegar

Looking for some creative uses for this, or other, types of vinegars.

I feel like the discovery of acids in seasoning food has been a revelation. It's like hot sauce or ketchup - I use that isht on everything. = )

Relig 202

  • Jan. 4th, 2010 at 4:33 PM
So I currently have a hold on my registration, and while I'm waiting for the paperwork to go through that will lift the hold, I want to pick up the needed books for Relig 202 (Intro to Eastern Religion). However, I wasn't able to attend class today and pick up a syllabus.

Does anyone happen to know either the required books, or (preferably) the website address for the course?

Steak nachos

Made these for my son, for lunch.  I think they need green onions, but he no likey...

Guess what? It's another stir fry!

  • Jan. 4th, 2010 at 3:06 PM
My faithful companion and sous-chef, [info]infrogmation , and I improvised in the kitchen again, and came up with this:

It's another stir fry! )

This time we used chicken breasts, bell peppers and green onions. Accompanying it is basmati rice.  Not bad for improvisation.

White Chocolate Gingerbread Bars

  • Jan. 4th, 2010 at 12:15 PM


Thank you to everyone who posted such nice comments about the wedding. It was just an absolute dream; every single minute of it. My mother did a fabulous job making everything look beautiful and our parents did all that they could to make it a great day for us. All of our friends and family were so generous and we're very excited to go on our honeymoon to Rome in a week! I'll post pictures as soon as I get them back from the photographer, which should be by the end of the week.

I made these bars before Christmas, but I didn't get a chance to post them. They were delicious and they were almost gone by the end of the night when there were just 4 of us eating them. There are a bunch of different, warm spices in the batter and the white chocolate is light and creamy and compliments in the gingerbread flavor perfectly. The texture is great, too; moist and chewy. I halved the recipe in and used an 8x8 pan, but I probably should have made a 9x13 pan because they were so good! Recipe on my blog at The Crepes of Wrath or after the cut.

Canele Revisited!

  • Jan. 4th, 2010 at 10:01 AM

Salade Canele - $9.50
Crab meat, tomato, hard boiled egg, mesclun salad, sunflower
and pumpkin seeds with citrus vinaigrette.
This was pretty good, and a good size to share for 2.
At first, I'd thought it was tuna & kept wondering why it tastes so funny. :p

[Mum's Chicken]

  • Jan. 3rd, 2010 at 9:48 PM


Hello, new to the community. I love looking at photos of food. Here I made this chicken that I guess is similar to General Tso though it's titled "Japanese Mum's Chicken". Recipe can be found here. Served with a side of sticky rice and ate both with fingers. Recipe is easy peasy.
Homemade Pizza Deep Dish

A traditional pizza and a deep-dish pizza I made today. Click to embiggen!
Both feature crumbled local bacon & sliced portobellos. The deep-dish also has pepperoni.
Watching hockey on ESPNU seemed like a better idea than driving to New Hampshire today.

Hold on aid due to withdrawal

  • Jan. 3rd, 2010 at 5:41 PM
Due to some unfortunate circumstances, I had to withdraw from fall quarter in week 8. Unsurprisingly, the office of financial aid has put a hold on my aid for Winter quarter, stating that I failed to complete the minimum number of credits last quarter. Does anybody have any experience with this or a similar situation? I plan on going in to the aid office tomorrow, but I'm having a minor panic here about whether or not I'll be able to receive my aid at all.

Other potentially relevant information:
-I will be graduating in June of this year (if I am able to receive my aid...)
-I did not go through the hardship withdrawal procedure, though I think my circumstances would qualify if there is any way to do it retroactively (I'm not sure if hardship vs regular withdrawal is relevant to aid)
-My aid package is made up of a small subsidized Stafford loan and a larger unsubsidized Stafford loan

Thanks, any help or information that you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

Made beef fajitas tonight, after being inspired by a Bobby Flay challenge. They turned out really well. Grilled pineapple for dessert.
