Steamed Bread Pudding

The April 2010 Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Esther of The Lilac Kitchen. She challenged everyone to make a traditional British pudding using, if possible, a very traditional British ingredient: suet.

 For our date night this past weekend, we tried our hand at steamed pudding.  I must say, people say that romance is supposed to be steamy and on fire, but I think we might be doing something wrong.  Though this dish was terribly delicious and easy.  I did not use suet.  It wasn't available.  It would not be opposed to using it, as I have used lard before and it's a similar type ingredient.

I got the recipe from King Arthur Flour's Baker's Companion cookbook and the nummy sauce was thanks to Sander's.  I have no short cut for this delicious dessert, but highly recommend that you try it out.  We did have one pretty big snag and that was the fact that my seal broke.  I liked it so much that we might be on the market for a pudding tin.

    MMM - that makes me hungry just looking at it. I have to say it may be a traditional ingredient but I've never used suet! I think you can get a veggie version now - maybe I should treat the family to a good stodgy pudding?

    I don't know that I'll ever use suet. There are so many other fats out there that are tasty and easy to get my hands on. I might make some sticky toffee pudding this weekend.

    It was way better than it looks. Somehow it took normal chocolate chips and enhanced flavors that I didn't know existed. Now if I used the good stuff, there's no telling what kind of party my mouth would be having.

Sweet Caroline by Kelda Poynot

  First off, my copy of Sweet Caroline  (aff link) is not a gifted review book, I spent my well earned Amazon No-Rush Rewards money on this book. Second of all, this is not my standard close door kind of romance. Third of all, this is a really fun read. Caroline is a hard working young lady that is doing all that she can to make ends meet and to get her graduate degree. Part of that work is renting out the room above her garage. When she answers the phone of an unknown number, believing it's a future tenant, she has no idea how much her life is about to change.  The young man on the other end of that call, Hashim, is tall, dark, and mysterious in all the right ways. The story quickly moves from the girl next door falling for a stranger to a fight for their lives. And in true real life fashion, those fights aren't just with external enemies but the ones we carry within.  It's an entertaining story of Caroline and Hashim, discovering their love for each other and ...

  If you're human, which I'm assuming you are if you found your way here, there will come a moment in your life when you're right and they're wrong and you're going to have to not win because the relationship is more important than your rightness It might be over where to go to dinner, which type of coat to wear for the weather, what ever it may be, you're going to find yourself there. Khang and Mikalatos have got together and written Loving Disagreement for that exact moment, especially if that exact moment isn't occurring with a loved one but with someone you encountered on the internet or maybe the break room at work, the where and who don't really matter because we can be loving towards anyone, even when we're not in relationship with the offending person. The book uses the concept of the fruit of the spirit to go through different ways to handle conflict. Khang and Mikalatos take turns writing the meat of each section but there's a quite enj...

Tasty Tuesday: Loaded Baked Potato Soup

  I've had loaded baked potato soup on the menu most of the month of November, not really knowing when I was going to make it. Last night was the night. I started with this recipe from Betty Crocker as an idea but as I saw that it served 15 and looked at the various quantities while I cooked, some things changed, and wanted to share the final recipe here so you can enjoy it and I won't forget it.  Loaded Baked Potato Soup serves 3 with seconds and a serving left over 1/2 package of bacon 1 small onion chopped 3 cups chicken broth (I use Better Than Boullion) 2 large baking potatoes, peeled, cubed 2 tbsp butter 2 heaping tbsp all-purpose flour 2 cups milk divided 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2teaspoon freshly ground pepper A generous helping of sour cream 4 oz sharp Cheddar cheese shredded (half a block) separated 2 sliced green onions separated In skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 6 to 7 minutes or until crisp; drain on paper towels.
