If I can make a custard with one arm, then I can make bread pudding. If I can make bread pudding, then I can deep fry it. Jaybill came up with idea as a joke, but I really liked the idea of taking old croissants, soaking them in custard, baking them in a waterbath, breading them with panko, and then deep frying them. Anyway here’s Panko-Fried Chocolate Bread Pudding. PFBP for short. Check out how to make it in my new Recipes section.
Good tasting everybody!

So we were sitting in the bar, and a young woman entered and remarked, ”Oh you get to taste your own food?” Chef turns, with all three of us sitting in whites and says “Of course.” I was reminded of how important it is, as a chef, to taste your food! We were sitting at the bar of course because today was my tasting at the restaurant with Chef Pascal. It went extremely well. The Funnel Cakes, pictured here in the final presentation, looked beautiful. I only wish Keri was there to take the picture.
Another dessert Idea…

Who loves bacon?! Boy howdy I sure do. This plate was an experiment envolving sweet applications of bacon, and the smoking of white chocolate. The end result was Sage Smoked White Chocolate Mousse with Maple Bacon Caramel. I originally tried smoking the chocolate with mesquite wood, but that wasn’t what i was looking for. Jaybill came up with the concept of an herb smoke (heh heh) which turned out quite nicely. The mousse was a bavarian style recipe. My idea for the sauce came from breakfast. You know when you’re eating pancakes and the syrup and butter gets all over your bacon and turns into this gooey mess on your plate? I love that goo!! That’s my sauce. When Jaybill shows me how to do it, I’ll be posting recipes and demos for all this stuff. Thanks again Keri for these beautiful pictures.
Replate!

I did some refining to the funnel cake concept. One reason is I knew I could get in cleaner, and another is that as much as I love stinky cheese, tallegio mousse is just gross. So I went with a butternilk custard instead, and it turned out quite nicely. Getting there!! Keri’s picture is practically edible.
