The Backstory: My neighbor Martha B. let me borrow her stash of recipes, some of which were given to her by a dear friend before he died. Oh, how I wish we knew how he came to possess them or the stories behind them. The first one in the stash is this delicious and easy-to-prepare bread pudding. Why don’t we make this decadent dessert more often? It sounds so intimidating but this recipe makes it so easy, you’ll turn to it again and again. Any kind of stale bread will do (challah works beautifully as well). Thank you, Martha’s neighbor. These were a gift from the heart. More of the Backstory after the recipe…
