Last week I went to Taos New Mexico for the first time. It was stunningly beautiful and immediately obvious why such greats as Frida Kahlo, Dennis Hopper and G. P. Wayman, loved the area. The sky was the blue-est blue I’ve ever seen. The desert was brown and the grass along the Rio Grande, bright red. The snow was, of course, white and cold.
Lest you get the impression this trip was only about hiking, snowshoeing and shopping, feast your eyes on this… Cheryl and I made impromptu, no recipe required, banana rum bread pudding.
Take some bread, a banana (the more ripe the better), half/half, eggs, cinnamon, brown sugar. Heat up the liquids/spices, temper the eggs, pour it over the bread and banana in a large ramekin and bake until nice and crispy on top. Heat up some rum and brown sugar for a sauce.
It’s as easy as… bread pudding.
P.S. Special thanks to CJH for the post title. He’s “too clever by half.”
i like blue birds.
