Rhubarb
Sourdough Bread Pudding
12 ounces sourdough bread ripped into 1/2”-1” pieces
1-1/2 cups milk
4 tablespoon butter
5 eggs
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon fresh orange zest
1/4 cup crystallized ginger, chopped
4 cups rhubarb*, chopped
1/2 cup raw or brown sugar
1/4 cup pecans, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
*Only use the fleshy red stems. Some rhubarb is sold
with the leaves still on. Rhubarb leaves are poisonous.
Spread bread on a cookie sheet and lightly toast.
Place in a greased 3 qt. casserole dish.
Melt butter with milk. Pour over bread in casserole.
Mix together eggs, sugar, salt, and zest. Stir in
rhubarb and ginger. Stir rhubarb and egg mixture into bread mixture. Top with
sugar and pecans.
Bake for 55-60 minutes until set.
Knot the
Usual Suspects
In the
latest from the bestselling author of Plagued by Quilt, Kath Rutledge
yarn bombs Blue Plum, Tennessee—and gets tangled up in the mystery of a
bumped-off bagpiper.
It’s time for Handmade Blue Plum, an annual arts and
crafts fair, and Kath and her knitting group TGIF (Thank Goodness It’s Fiber)
plan to kick off the festivities with a yarn bombing. But they’re not the only
ones needling Blue Plum. Bagpiper and former resident Hugh McPhee had just
returned after a long absence, yet his reception is anything but cozy. The
morning after his arrival, he’s found dead in full piper’s regalia.
Although
shaken, Kath and her knitting group go forward with their yarn installation—only
to hit a deadly snag. Now, with the help of Geneva, the ghost who haunts her shop,
Kath and TGIF need to unravel the mystery before someone else gets kilt!

Share Dessert Recipes and Advice on Love and Writing
What do most authors have in common, no matter what
genre they write? They love desserts. Sweets sustain them through pending
deadlines and take the sting out of crushing rejection letters and nasty
reviews. They also often celebrate their successes—selling a book, winning a
writing award, making a bestseller list, or receiving a fabulous review—with
decadent indulgences. And when authors chat with each other, they often talk
about their writing and their lives. Recipes. Writing. Relationships. In this
cookbook 105 authors not only share their favorite recipes for fabulous cakes,
pies, cookies, candy, and more, they also share the best advice they’ve ever
received on love and writing.

Thanks for the yummy recipe! Bread pudding actually reminds me of winter time at my grandmother's house. She would make it as a quick treat.
