Did I even spell that right? Vlog, vLog, VLOG, vlog. Who knows? Obviously I don't.
I set out with the best of intentions...to video my attempt at making homemade bread and butter pudding with raspberry sauce, also homemade. Gareth has a special place in his heart for bread and butter pudding. According to my hubby, his mum, (God rest her soul), used to make the best bread and butter pudding in the entire British Isles. I've never really tried to make any of the British staples he grew up with because his memories of those foods are so closely attached to his mum and I don't want to tarnish them. That said, I thought, "Self, what the hell, what's the worst that can happen?"
Not only did I fail miserably at the vLog, I somehow managed to delete most of the photos, save for eight of them, and those were taken with the point and shoot and not my DSLR's. *sigh*
Yes, there was much gnashing of teeth and wailing. The DSLR photos were great. Probably my best food-photography to date. The point and shoots? Well, not so much. Oh well.
So here, I present into evidence why I should refrain from ever making another vLog. Oh and for the record, yes my feet are fat, horribly so, but it just so happened on the day this video was made that I was retaining about as much water as the Titanic took on before she sunk. The summer time always means fatter-than-typical-feet for moi. Just sayin...
I ended up having to shut little miss "under my feet" and her accomplice, Geronimo, in my bedroom until I was done. Otherwise certain disaster was lurking around every corner.
Despite suffering a temporary plague of kittens, (how come this isn't one of the plagues mentioned in the Bible? Because seriously, a plague of kittens is nothing to laugh at, I assure you!), Gareth proclaimed my first attempt at bread and butter pudding, "Just like me mum's!" I could have wept out of sheer pride when he said that. Seriously.
Putting the buttered french bread slices into the pan and then covering with a rich custard...
Top with raisins and set in a water bath, pop into the oven...
No cats or kittens were harmed in the creation of this dessert...at least I don't think they were.
