As an added weekend bonus I'm going to throw in a recipe. This makes an excellent side dish or savory brunch item. What I did was take the basic bread pudding recipe from the Gumbo Shop in New Orleans, add an extra egg and some goat cheese, and substitute a couple of ingredients.
Savory Bread Pudding
1/4 cup of butter
3 cups of milk
1 loaf of french bread, a day or two old, cut into 1 inch cubes
4 large eggs, beaten
1 pound fresh spinach
1 tablespoon minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (Costco has them in a nice 18 oz bag)
4-6 oz of crumbled goat cheese

salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (Costco has them in a nice 18 oz bag)
4-6 oz of crumbled goat cheese
- Saute the spinach with garlic, season with salt and pepper. Drain well, getting rid of as much excess liquid as possible
- Combine the milk and butter, heat in a microwave until the butter melts
- Pour milk/butter mixture over the bread crumbs in a large mixing bowl, let stand about 10 minutes so the bread soaks up plenty of milk
- Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes
- Stir in the spinach
- Stir in the beaten eggs
- Pour this mess into a greased baking dish or casserole and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes.

You are a rocking dude!
And congrats on your R rating!
Music and food! I want to live in your blog now. I notice that there are a couple of empty chairs on the deck.
That's a great recipe. I will use it, definitely.
Hank Williams was a total fucking bad ass.
I love Tombstone Blues! I read that they overdubbed acoustic guitars like a dozen times on that song.
Dylan turned up in my Random Ten as well today.
Goat Cheese makes almost anything better. Well,...most things.
Nice! Savory music and food, yeah -- "Tombstone Blues" . . . love it!
Digging the new look at the Compound, Bubs! That recipe is worthy of Minnesota hot dish. It may make an appearance on our table soon.
Hey Bubs,
I like the new place you got here. Being able to post the music is awesome.
We got to get together sometime soon.
Laura.
Okay, so now I know what I'm having for lunch. Sans goats cheese, of course, what since it tastes like piss.
Could you give us a bubs-ified bloody mary to supplement, please?
Melinda, ask and you shall receive. Oh, and by the way--goat cheese doesn't taste like piss, it tastes like goat.
Laura, you're right. We'll call this week!
CP, thanks! You're darn tootin' it would make a fine hot dish.
Erik, thanks!
Ten, goat cheese is one of my favorite flavors, but you gotta admit it's an acquired taste.
Johnny, no kidding. That's cool.
Grant Miller, Hank was rock and roll before it existed. Hillbilly rock and roll. And normally I use bacon in that recipe, but I left it out to make it vegetarian friendly. Well, really I left it out just because I ran out of bacon.
Barbara, there's always room for one more.
Splotchy, we try!
The addition of the tunes is awesome.
Out of curiousity, Marti Brom: do you own a full CD or is the track from a compilation disc? I had to wonder because I have the same song on a comp I bought last year sometime, just curious if the other songs are worth looking into?
mob, it's on a compilation called "Billy". I've heard other tunes from her, and they're excellent--she's got a great rockabilly voice. I believe she's from Austin Texas or thereabouts.
