Dinner at home, inspired by restaurants....

Here we sit, fully sated, enjoying our Tuesday evening, watching the next episode of Fargo. We decided to treat ourselves to a really good meal, and rather than eating out, after I found myself drooling over the Red Lobster commercial (yes, the one with the piece of steak with a creamy lobster chunk sauce on it), and Pat said, "You could make that, cheaper, and it would taste better,too!" So, when I was in Costco, yup, I sprang for a lobster tail and a big ribeye (we always split one), then thought, well, if we're going all out, might as well make 'bread pudding ala Bob'. Now, you may be wondering what Bread pudding ala Bob is. We call it that because our friend Bob told us about it, but I guess he found out about this marvelous way to eat bread pudding from Hawai'i's own Zippy's! Bread pudding, topped with vanilla ice cream, then topped with caramel sauce. My homemade version is... Bread pudding made with sour dough bread (yes, homemade), fresh farm eggs, organic milk and agave, homemade vanilla ice cream with agave, and home made caramel sauce. Yum. Then, yes, we are not done, Pat said, why don't you made the cheddar cheese biscuits we get at Red Lobster, too? Ok, and I made the gluten-free version! A little heavier than the originals, but yummy, nonetheless. A little leaf lettuce and mango salad for color and health, and we feel like we've been on a date!
