Bread Pudding

 It's Cold out side!!!  And the time of year everybody starts thinking about all of those comfort foods that they miss eating.  One of my favorites is Bread Pudding.  This is the recipe that I have been telling everyone about at the farmers Markets and food shows.  If I was you, i would double the recipe, so you have leftovers to pick at later.  I had every intention of take a picture of it after mother made it for us at lunch today.  But remembered after my brother and I had eaten most of it gone.  Next time.

Happy Cooking
