Carpe Carbum! (Bread Pudding on the fly)

It snowed today, so I caved in to the the urge to turn on the oven.  When I cook on the fly, I don't really follow a formal cooking method, BUT in the interest of sharing, I've duplicated my method as best I could. 

• Enjoy looking at the snow out the window
• Realize it's chilly in the kitchen
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Gather up all those old stale bread ends that you insist on saving for just such an occasion
• Tear old bread into bite sized pieces, put them in a greased loaf pan
• Cut up some butter into small chip-sized pieces and cleverly hide them in the bread chunks like buried treasure on some pirate island
• In a bowl, mix a cup(ish) of sugar, 2 eggs, a can of evaporated milk, a tbsp(ish) of vanilla*, dash cinnamon
• Pour the liquid mix over the bread and mix it** so everything is covered and moistened
• Get distracted by something else for about 15 minutes so it can sit and soak
• Pop that bad boy in the preheated oven and forget to set the timer
• Don't leave the house. By all means, do putter around a bit but try to do so moderately close to the kitchen
• Check on it when you can smell it... probably 30-40 minutes in
• Realize it needs another 10-15 minutes. Resume puttering.
• Pull it out the oven and let it cool on the counter 
• Be pleased with yourself for making such a good culinary decision this morning
• Sometime later, melt some butter and mix it with milk, sugar, an egg, vanilla, and probably booze. 
• Pour it over the bread pudding while you sit wrapped in a fleece blanket watching Hotel Transylvania on Amazon Instant Video

It doesn't matter how many servings it makes. Nobody pays attention to that anyway.

* Real vanilla.  Not imitation vanilla.  Really, do we have to go through this every time?  Yes. Yes, I think we do. 
** With a fork. Not your fingers. What are you, an animal? Come on!
