Mine was only so-so.
I used the recipe Katie listed below but added a little bit of brown sugar and I also used Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon swirl bread. I may have added too much bread. After I added the liquid to the bread I thought it seemed too soupy so I added 2 more slices of bread. I doubt it made a major difference, but I bet without the addition of the bread it would have been more custardy. I also made a Vanilla Sauce to put over top. It was basically water, sugar, corn starch and vanilla extract. It was very good and I think added a little punch to the bread pudding.
Now, my appologies... I took Beautiful, AMAZING pictures with my nice camera but can't find my camera cable to load them to the computer! Ok, so they probably aeren't beautiful and amazing, but you will never know, so I'm going to feel free to brag a little. I'm sure I'll find the cable, but I wanted to get my post up ASAP since the week will be over soon! So, please forgive my bread pudding picture, Yes, its a picture of the leftovers. I'm so embarrassed! But, give me bonus points for having pics of my DARLING girls trying the bread pudding, ok? The girls did not try the Vanilla sauce, too much sugar.
Here is Pressy just after her first bite of bread pudding.
Pressley LOVED it!! Gobbled down every bite I gave her.
And, Lyla after her first bite.
She HATED it!! She spit it out on her tray and did her sour lemon face! YUCK!!
So, our ratings (I loved that Katie gave ratings, what a great idea!).
David -- he said it was "Average", 3 stars. C. And he said he was grading a little harsh because he has big expectations. Whatever.
Joelle -- 3 stars. B-.
Pressley -- 5 stars! A+!
Lyla -- 0 stars. F-.
Pressley wants just a little more and has no problem eating straight out of the dish. Thats my girl!
I can't wait to see what Lorren has planned for us next week!

Adorable pictures, and wonderful post! I love the story behind it. I wish I would have made a sauce for on top. That's so funny that Lyla hated it! Maybe it was the texture?
I love the photos of the girls! Looks like you really captured their reactions. So precious! Doesn't sound like this recipe is a huge success, maybe I'll look for a different bread pudding recipe. What do you think? Or are we all supposed to try the same one?
Absolutely fantastic pics! I laughed, I cried...it was the best of times. :)
We miss you guys.
