Today I made a Breakfast Bread Pudding and it was so delicious, I thought I’d share.

Breakfast Bread Pudding

American recipe – I’ve done the conversions…

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely diced
450g breakfast sausage, crumbled – use sausage mince
3 cups milk
10 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 loaf day-old brioche or white bread, cut into 4cm cubes (about 12 cups)
2 cups shredded cheddar

Heat olive oil in a medium frypan over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 7 minutes. Add sausage and brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon. Transfer to a shallow bowl and let cool to room temperature.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in bread, sausage mixture, and cheese. Pour mixture in a buttered 22cm x 33cm baking (lasagne) dish and cover with foil. Let the dish sit in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

Bake with foil in a preheated 180C oven for about 45 minutes. Remove foil and allow to brown, about 10 or 15 minutes more. Serve immediately.

Today was both a good day, and a bad day.

Good that I had some work somewhere I’ve worked before and I was specifically asked for and the people are lovely.

Bad in that there’s an outstanding business matter that I’m trying to attend to to the best of my ability, but the person I’m dealing with has accused me of trying to avoid my responsibility and then started to quote things that I’ve mentioned on Twitter and that I’m basically a liar. Makes me feel like I’m being stalked, which, after some advice, is essentially what is happening regardless of what the other party has to say.

You can understand why I’m being deliberately vague so nothing can be taken out of context and no one knows who or what I’m talking about. It’s just I need to let off some steam. And hope that more work comes my way so that I can resolve the matter sooner, rather than later.

With that being said, I applied for five contract jobs, two of which were for 15 and 18 months respectively, and none of them have acknowledged my application. Is that the way business is done these days? I thought you’d at least let people know that you got their application and would let them know as soon as possible what was happening. Or maybe that’s just the old days…
