Lumang Tinapay Atbp
We had plenty of old bread. So the most logical thing to do was to make bread pudding. And that’s exactly what I made last Wednesday….
The end product wasn’t sweet at all, as in no trace of sugar whatsoever. That didn’t come as a surprise because the recipe only called for 6 tablespoons of sugar. But it’s nothing a little maple or chocolate syrup (or even custard sauce) couldn’t fix. :)
In fairness, the recipe did call for a meringue topping. But I got lazy. :D
oOo
I also made arroz caldo last Wednesday, for the first time ever. I prepared it just before hubby, Abby and I headed out of the house. Before we left, it looked perfect and it did taste perfect, if I may say so myself. But when we got back after about an hour, I was a little shocked to see the rice has soaked up almost all of the sabaw. I had to remedy it a little by adding some more water. The thing is, I didn’t want to add too much because like I said, it already tasted perfect, exactly how I want and remember arroz caldo to be. I just made a mental note to use a little less rice next time. ;)
Ayan o, sobrang lapot! This time, wala akong “arroz caldo b”. Hee hee!
I’ve always loved arroz caldo. It’s a classic comfort food for me…and comfort me it did! ;)
That’s it as far as my kitchen “clinical trials” are concerned. Hee hee! :)
Enjoy the weekend, y’all! :D
uy comfort food din namin ang arroz caldo :D its also one of the few things ninna eats a lot of.
nung first time ko naman nagluto niyan, dalawa pa lang kami ni hubby. tapos ang ginamit ko tatlong gatang na kanin, kasi parang konti. e dumadami pala, ahahaha! kaya hayun pati yung leasing office, guards at janitors sa buong building namin nun (sa makati pa) nakapag-piyesta ng arroz caldo. :D
as for the bread pudding, may tinuro si sheng sa akin. banana pudding naman. pag daw di nauubos yung saging nila at bread sa bahay, ginagawa niyang pudding. awa ni lord di ko pa rin nagagawa hehe.

Aba, at kinareer mo na naman ang pagka-”Super SAHMMY” at “Wonder Wife” ha! Impressed na ako sa iyong culinary adventures ;) At East meets West pa ang dating – imagine, good ol’ Pinoy arroz caldo meets the oh-so-Brit bread pudding! :D Nagutom tuloy ako… :)
Kaasar lang talaga pag the rice seems to soak up all the liquid… it also happens to me kasi not only with arroz caldo but also when I cook anything with vermicelli noodles. Dati, proud na proud ako na naluto ko yung sukiyaki, pagdating ng gabi, nung iinitin ko na, aba at naging pansit na! Grrr…
Well, as they say, there’s always a next time… ;)

hahaa, tuwing nagluluto ako ng arroz caldo nagmimistulang Biko! di ko talaga matantya kung gaano karami yung sticky rice, di ako masanay magluto ng pangdalawang tao, like meeya, feeling ko laging konti kaya nag-end up pambaranggay ang dami. end product tulad din sayo, may sabaw sa simula, maya-maya, kakanin na. :D
weng! peram naman ako ng pudding recipe! my mudra used to make these when we were kids, and until now di ko pa sinusubok. she said cream and milk lang with the bread, pero pano? im probably adding raisins to it! :)
