Bread pudding delight

Bread seems to just build up… and who wants dry stale bread? Toast slivered almonds, beat up some eggs(5)… add milk or cream and brown sugar to desired sweetness. Kiss of vanilla! Pour wet mess into greased lasagna pan. Sprinkle with dried cranberries and chopped up crystallized ginger and the almonds. Press into bread mixture. Sprinkle cinnamon, grate some nutmeg. I might add bacon… because everything tastes better with bacon. Bake 25-30 minutes – or more – at 350F and wait for it to cool. Later turn out onto cutting board and cut into 3 or 4 inch squares. Dense but so full of flavour. Consume in 3 days… trust me it actually will be gone overnight.
