Pineapple Eggs... with Bread?

Princess: MOM!! THIS BREAD HAS MOLD ON IT.
Mrs. Lyons: Pick it off.
Princess: MOM!! Are these pieces the right size?
Mrs. Lyons: The recipe says 1/2 inch pieces.
Princess: OH! I thought that meant 1" by 2".

Boy #1: Mom, can I have some bread?
Mrs. Lyons: sure.
Boy #1" MOM! This bread tastes like dirt!
Princess: HEY THAT'S THE MOLDY BREAD PILE!!!
Mrs. Lyons: Spit it out in the trash son. Live and learn.

Mrs: Lyons: WHAT THE ????, THIS BAG OF PINEAPPLE HAS YELLOW AND WHITE PIECES IN IT!
Boy #2: Yeah. Those white ones aren't ripe.
Mrs. Lyons: Since when do they sell you unripe pineapple pieces along with ripe pineapple pieces?
Boy #2: Since always... it just comes that way.

Boy #1 and Boy #2: [in unison] Uh, Mom? This stuff is pineapple, eggs and bread. Is it going to taste like eggs with pineapple in it with bread on top?
Mrs. Lyons: Who picked this recipe?
Princess: DAD.
Boy #1 and Boy #2: We did.
Mrs. Lyons: [looks at children with arched eyebrows]
Boy #1, Boy #2 and Princess: [in unison] NOT MOM.

Then The Man arrived home and all hell broke loose because he said he didn't choose the recipe. The End.

Pineapple Bread Pudding
adapted from Martha Stewart Everyday Food, April 2010

1 stick butter, melted
3 large eggs
1 lb. bag frozen pineapple chunks (thawed or at least mostly thawed)
4 Tbsp all purpose flour
1/2 cup honey
pinch of salt
1 loaf family sized dinner bread (something soft, like French)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 2-qt baking dish. Mix eggs, flour, honey and salt. Add pineapple chunks. Pour into prepared baking dish. Tear bread into small pieces, around 1 inch in size. In a big bowl toss bread pieces with melted butter until evenly coated. Press bread pieces into pineapple-egg mixture. Go ahead, put yer back into it!

Bake until golden brown, 40-50 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

thoughts: The four of us thought, for sure, that this would be a disgusting mess. With pineapple in it. Not so! The Man and I were shocked, shocked, at how good it was. Naturally he took all credit for it. The eldest thought that it "smelled weird" and that the bread on top "tastes like bread." Um, okay. The Man proclaimed that it was "better than pineapple upside down cake" whatever that means. All I know is that this is easy and tasty and everyone ate it. QUIETLY. We ate it warm and the pieces held together rather better than I thought they would when I went to extract them out of the pan. Bonus!
