Luckily for me the local place has some great food really cheap and you get way more than you can eat in one sitting. I mean I pay $6.95 for 2 count em TWO chicken breasts fileted with a salad and 2 vegetables/potatoe. Can’t be that. And drink prices do kill me but the bar upstairs serves them at $3.25 so its not too bad and if you order a pitcher of Long Island Iced Tea downstairs in the restaurant it is on $8.00 verses $4.00 for a glass when you can get 4 glasses out the pitcher. Now also if I go upstairs half or 3/4 of my drink orders never make it to my tab cuz I’m one of the regulars

Tina – It has to be a really good burger for me to order one at a restaurant to justify the expense. I do enjoy not having to clean up after a meal though!

I'm with you on the cheapness. I even hate ordering a hamburger at most sit down places. I can't help but think I could have had one for a dollar at McD's. Tina Kubala's last blog post..Food Foods on Friday

chili queen – That’s a great idea! I’ll have to look for a copycat recipe.

Kelly – Thanks for the recipe, check back as I will be posting it and linking back to you!

Corrin – Okay, clue me in, where do I find a Madagascar Bourbon vanilla bean?!

I asked my mom and she shared this bread pudding recipe with me. She came across it a few years ago from Italian Cooking and Living Magazine.

I vanilla bean
6 cups whipping cream
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup brandy
9 large egg yolks
1 1/2 cups sugar
ten 3/8″-thick slices rustic bread, crusts removed
2 lemons, cut into 20 thin slices
10 mint sprigs
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise. Scrape the seeds from the pod and combine them with the pod, cream, milk, and brandy in a 3-quart pan. Bring to just below the boiling point over medium heat. Discard the vanilla pod and seeds. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until thick in a bowl. Slowly whisk in the cream mixture, whisking constantly. Arrange the bread in a 3-quart soufflé dish. Pour in the egg yolk-cream mixture, submerging the bread with a spoon so it soaks up some of the liquid. Place the souffle dish in a 10″ x 14″ baking dish and fill the baking dish with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the souffle dish. Bake 30 minutes, or until the edges have set and the center is still a bit runny; the pudding will continue to cook out of the oven and will set as it cools slightly Serve warm, garnished with the lemon and mint. Serves 10

Thanks for playing FFOF!
My Mom used to make bread pudding. I’ll have to ask her how she made it.
