Rachael Ray lead me astray

I was craving bread pudding. I am not sure why, maybe because Thanksgiving is coming? But I have really only had bread pudding once or twice in my life and neither time was at Thanksgiving. So I browsed some recipes, but I really couldn't justify making a whole pan for myself, especially when bread pudding recipes contain things like; 5 eggs, 2 cups of cream, a 10 gallon pail of butter, etc. And then I stumbled upon Rachael Ray's 5 minute bread pudding. Ah-ha! This could be my answer! Here is the recipe:

• 1 loaf store bought cinnamon raisin bread, unsliced
• 1/2 stick butter, softened
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 jiggers brandy
• Whipped cream in spray top canister from your dairy aisle
• Ground or grated nutmeg, for garnish

Heat a griddle pan over medium heat. Cut 4 thick slices of cinnamon raisin bread. Butter both sides of the bread slices with softened butter. Grill bread until brown and crispy on both sides, 2 minutes on each side.
While bread grills, in a small saucepot, heat sweetened condensed milk or reduced fat sweetened condensed milk over medium low heat for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in brandy.

Cut each grilled slice of bread into quarters and pile into 4 dessert cups. Top bread with a few spoonfuls of hard sauce of sweetened condensed milk and brandy and a generous swirl of whipped cream. Garnish cream with a sprinkle of nutmeg and serve.

I modified it and only made 2 slices of the bread, but all of the sauce. It was not exactly gross, but it was not exactly bread pudding either. More like cinnamon raisin toast with redi-whip, which I should have guessed, but I was hoping that the sauce would really help. It didn't. But I put 2 jiggers of brandy in the sauce and 2 jiggers in me, so it's all good and I am no longer craving bread pudding. I guess it did work!

I was going to add something witty here about the weird cheating scandal of her husband's. But even though I find Rachael Ray a little too peppy and her husband a little too funny looking with that big head of his, I just can't come up with anything. It's so bizarre. But it's in the Enquirer so it must be true! ;)
