Cooking instruction summary:

Place a Reynolds Slow Cooker Liner in crock of slow cooker and set aside.Slice bread into 1-inch thick slices. After slicing bread let it sit out for 6-8 hours to dry out. (Do not skip this step, it is very important in having a non-soggy final dish).Spread cream cheese on one side of each slice of bread. Place the bread, cream cheese side down, into the crock. (Stand them up and lean them against each other and allow them to overlap a little) Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the bread, allowing some to fall between the slices.Combine the remaining ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Pour mixture over the bread and berries in the slow cooker. Gently press the bread down into the egg mixture. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes and then press the bread down again. Repeat until the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 30 minutes.Cook on low for 3 - 4 hours. The casserole will be slightly browned on the edges when done. If there appears to be any excess liquid, remove the lid and cook for an additional 30-60 minutes. Serve with powdered sugar or maple syrup.*Note: Don't skimp on the evaporated milk and heavy cream. If you sub regular milk, there is a chance that it could curdle or clump during cooking. I was able to sub almond milk for the heavy cream & evap milk and it turned out great.

Food Joke

VIRUS WARNING**** If you received an e-mail with a subject line of "Badtimes," delete it immediately without reading it! It is the most dangerous E-mail virus yet. It will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your refrigerator's settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will demagnitize the strips on all your credit cards, reprogram your ATM access codes, screw up the tracking on your VCR and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play. It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number. It will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink all your beer and leave your dirty socks on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will hide your car keys when you are late for work and interfere with your car radio so that you hear only static while stuck in traffic. Badtimes will make you fall in love with a hardened pedophile. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card. Badtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up and leave the hairdryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattress and pillows, it will refill your skim milk with whole. It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve. These are just a few of the signs. BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!
