My coworkers and I often laugh about how our work wardrobes have changed since the first job in the late 80's. Ah, memory lane. This dish did not strike me as a dessert but I never eat bread pudding (evidently Nana never got over the cake incident)anyway. That rum soaked bread sounds fabulous....well played :) tricia s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06247980519576579740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-13441518093630398732013-05-12T16:29:51.561-04:002013-05-12T16:29:51.561-04:00My wife did a scrapbook page from my first 2 years...My wife did a scrapbook page from my first 2 years of college.

No one, I would say. So, this has to be brunch. Do people have brunches anymore? I think booze is what's needed to give this dish the little extra kick it needs. Since I wasn't creative enough to think about addind liquor, I just poured maple syrup all over my servings after it came out of the oven. Very good. I don't like to revisit my junior high/high school years very often - not my best memories. I am not proud to admit that I have never attended a class reunion. That tells you that my early life was always going through a crisis of some kind!Mary Hirschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14495234299898574943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-55770259404110248852013-05-11T15:35:41.325-04:002013-05-11T15:35:41.325-04:00I'm glad you got over your identity crisis!

Rum-soaked bread and sprinkling with powdered sugar are great enhancements. I'm making notes for next time.Betsyhttp://aplatefulofhappiness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4850658802486564843.post-16039012581663493582013-05-11T05:53:22.714-04:002013-05-11T05:53:22.714-04:00Oh Cher, we all have such photos which we pray nev...Oh Cher, we all have such photos which we pray never see the light of day.
