how to make the perfect louisiana bread pudding?
Q. I've been looking to baking a louisiana style bread pudding as a treat for some friends. The problem is that when I make it, although delicious, it usually falls apart as soon as I remove the mould, which of course is not as pleasing to the eye. So can I get some soul food lovers to help me out with a good recipe or some pointers to get a perfect bread pudding. Best answer wins him/herself 10 points.

A. I'm more of a gourmet cook but I do own several southern cookbooks. I like this one because of the butter in it.

What is the going rate for installing gutters in central Louisiana?
Q. My little brother is considering a ob installing gutters in central Louisiana. Long story short, the owner is offering to pay him $1 per foot. That seems a little bit low to me; I'm wondering if anyone knows what the current going rate in our area is or how we can find out?

A. I don't know about Louisiana, but here in Connecticut, I am about to have new gutters installed on my roof, and the contractor told me it would cost between $4 to $5. So $1 does seem a low. To get a better idea of local rates, I would suggest looking in your yellow pages for gutter companies, and call 2 to 3 of them to ask what their rate is per foot for new gutters. You could make the calls for your brother, as it might be awkward for him to do so. Hope this helps!
