Need help with bread pudding recipe

Boy, that was fast! I think I'll start with a pound and leave the crust on and not worry too much about what kind (French vs. Italian) of bread it is. Thanks. I'm not sure how to post a recipe on the hc board, but I'll try. Thank you.

Need help with bread pudding recipe

I'd like to try making a pina colada bread pudding. The recipe calls for 1 loaf of French bread with crusts removed. Doesn't French bread come in different sizes? And aren't they rather slender so what would I be left with after I remove the crusts? How many ounces/pounds of bread do you think I should buy? The recipe calls for 3 eggs and about 3 cups of liquid. Thanks for any help provided.

Best Little Restaurant, formerly Ho Yuen Ting, in Chinatown

OK, I'm salivating, but I have one question: do they serve beer and wine? I'm not a big tea drinker and would prefer a beer with my meal. Thanks.

Lunch in Mystic?

ahh aareri--a person after my own heart! Rainy days and bars just go together don't they?

Lunch in Mystic?

I'm heading to Mystic for lunch today. Any suggestions? We like to sit at the bar and have a good Bloody Mary with lunch.

Ham in coca cola

I did do some research and I think it has to be either a smoked shoulder or a fresh ham. Bottom line: I think I'll cook a turkey. Thanks.

Ham in coca cola

I'm thinking of making this recipe for Easter

http://www.cookstr.com/recipes/ham-in-coca-cola

It doesn't indicate what type of ham to use: fully cooked (heat up only) or whatever other type there is. I've always just had to warm up a ham, but this cooks for almost 2 and 1/2 hours--sounds like a lot to just warm it up. Any ideas?

Any ideas for cooked lobster meat?

I occasionally find myself with a good amount of cooked lobster meat. Any other ideas for what to do with it besides lobster salad and lobster cocktail? (I love lobster pizza, but my husband is not crazy about pizza.)

Finding specialty products in Providence

Skate as in the "fish"? My husband is a commercial fisherman. Come down to Galilee--he'll load you up!

Best Burger in Providence?

Oh JaneRI, Mezza Luna pizzas! They just don't make 'em like that anymore. My ex-husband did the plaster work in the Beef Barn.His initials are still there somewhere in the silo.

Paddy Grace from the Littlest Bar?

Has anyone heard any news about/from Paddy Grace? Boy, I miss that place. It was always a must stop.

Where to get the Dogs that Speed serves?

Where is Speeds?? I'm a huge hot dog fan. (I once went to the Stop and Shop in Brookline to buy Pearls when I spent the weekend in Boston--can't find them in RI.)

Not exactly a food question...

Does anyone know what's become of Paddy Grace from the Littlest Bar (may it rest in peace)?
