I think I’m losing my mind. It’s hard to concentrate without feeling pangs of anxiety.
Kaweah hates us now. We’ve been neglecting her since we both have ridiculous amounts of work to do. She stares at us with such contempt.
I took a break this morning and made another batch of bread pudding to use up the cheese and eggs, this time with bacon and without marjoram. Delish.
beautiful, crispy bacon

savory bread pudding
The recipe I tried looked pretty good on paper. I have made several bread puddings that are sweet which I love, but I tend to like savories more than sweets. I thought it would be a hit. The flavors this recipe calls for are asparagus, swiss, gruyère, parmesan, marjoram, parsley, and green onions. I added some sautéed crimini mushrooms. The rest of the ingredients are the standard bread, eggs, and milk.
i prefer to rip the bread rather than cut it

Whenever I try to simplify my menu for entertaining, it always ends up leaving me with enough flexibility so that I go and try something new. I use my laptop and my cooking library for reference. Most of the day is spent on my mise en place, which, now that I think about it, is a good way to describe my approach to life in general.
was that 4 tablespoons of butter in that recipe?
