We had so many bread crusts left from the housewarming party that I decided to make bread pudding from it.I'd never made, or even eaten, bread pudding before, but Andrea called her mother to ask for the recipe (she had it once as a child), and it was really simple. Throw a bunch of stuff, including eggs, milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, raisins and the bread, into a pan and bake/steam. It turned out pretty well, and Andrea certainly enjoyed it. Despite being lactose intolerant, she popped her Lactaid pills and ate 3/4 of the pan!

*drool* You're making me hungry!!!
Sorry to say, but nothing makes me feel more ill than the thought of eating wet bread. I can't get my head (or stomach) around bread pudding. Glad you guys are enjoying it though!
I wasn't too hooked on the idea at first, either. But Andrea said that she absolutely loved it the one and only time her mother made it. And since I made it, I felt I should at least try a bite. And really, you can hardly tell it's bread. It's more like a custard pudding.
What're your thoughts on French toast? I think of bread pudding and French toast in a similar way. The crust of the bread pudding, especially. Mmm...
I like French toast since it's not too mushy if you brown it on both sides. It's soggy bread that I really dislike. I can just about tolerate custard.
