My west coast brother told me that today is, as well as being "May Day" which we all know about, "Bread Pudding Recipe Exchange Day." Evidently my west coast sister-in-law makes her bread pudding from day-old Cinnabons. That does sound delicious to me, but I will not be asking her for her recipe.
My interest in bread pudding is all about the eating, not the making. This will come as no surprise to those of you who know that my wonder spouse does most of the cooking in the family. He does make fantastic fudge but has never yet made bread pudding, at least since we've been married.
As a matter of fact, I had never even heard of bread pudding until I accompanied my then boss to a Century 21 Realtor's Convention in Las Vegas. This was about 40 years ago. We stayed at the Golden Nugget Casino Hotel - a beautiful fun glitzy place on the old downtown strip. My boss not only introduced me to the yummy bread pudding which was on the buffet every evening but also taught me to play Black Jack, a game I have loved ever since. Happily I live some distance from Las Vegas which has probably saved me quite a lot of money.
In case you're wondering, yes we actually did attend several motivational and educational sessions while we were there, but always made time for bread pudding and Black Jack.
