Finals are just around the corner, so of course I roasted a chicken, made a simple bread salad, whipped up some creamed spinach, and also made a bread pudding this weekend. I tossed some corn into the spinach and tasting the result, it reminded me of the creamed corn soup served in Taiwanese steak houses- a very pleasant callback. I've often mentioned this, but the 3 foods I missed most when I first moved from Taiwan were potato chips, hot dogs/sausages, and steak dinners. So finding that little whiff in my spinach? Highlight of the weekend.
Close behind that was the sauce I made for my bread pudding. The recipe that I loosely followed (perhaps 'consulted' is a closer word) called for whiskey. I didn't have whiskey. I had Bailey's. And it turned out wonderfully buttery and fragrant. Like butterscotch for grown ups.
