Last week, I submitted an entry for this month's Is My Blog Burning? food blogging event: Strawberry Bruschetta. Derek, who hosted the even at his blog, An Obsession with Food, has just posted a roundup, in two parts, of all the entries. If you recall, the theme was stale bread, so there are lots of bread puddings and such to be found, as well as some very innovative uses, such as using crumbs to thicken a sauce or make a quiche crust. I think that my favorite submission, simply based on aesthetics, since all the recipes sounded delicious, is the one from Bron Marshall: Brioche, Frangelico, Chocolate and Pear Cakes. Pictured here, they are like small, tender bread puddings, baked in individual tins. If you want to try your hand at the recipe, it can be found here, but I think I am content to just oogle the picture for the time being. Thanks for hosting, Derek!
