>Warming up for their annual email-go-round re the Red Sox (and why does the person who lives two miles from Fenway Park care the least?), my scattered cousins and siblings have all been swapping variants on the chocolate bread pudding we were all served as children. Heeding SheWho's suggestion that providing recipes is the way to make a blog really pop, I hereby give you my mother's version of the recipe as preserved by my brother Rand:
Mary McNally Sutton's chocolate bread pudding recipe
Heat together:
2 cups milk
1 tbs butter and 5 1/3 tbs cocoa - OR - 2 sq
chocolate
Cube 4 slices of white bread and pour heated mixture
over
Add:
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
pinch salt
Stir everything well
Pour into greased bowl and bake at 350 for 1 hour. If
doubled, cook 1 1/2 hour
Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
ok - there it is. traditionalists cube the bread and modernists and brats break it up. I tend to use 1 tsp
of vanilla. Wonder bread works well but I've taken to
using the Pepperidge Farm Farmshouse White bread and
it really holds up. I've tried it with using squares
of chocolate and have never had any success that way.
hershey's cocoa is the way Mom made it - but I have
gone all Martha and used Ghirardelli with great
results. the cold pudding microwaves well without
losing consistency or getting chewy.

>Roxanne(AKA) upon discovering I'd read Arlene Sardine read it again to my class this morning (after we finished discussing the SNOW) and I immediately followed up with Tadpole's Promise. Got a laugh, but I think their hearts are with Arlene!Now I'll be curious to watch and see if they read them on their own and to each other.

PS Robin, have you tried Arlene Sardine with your second graders?

>KT, thanks for reminding me (and, Roger, thanks for giving me this place to ignore you and talk to KT) about Tadpole's Promise. When they laughed yesterday I immediately thought that I had to bring it in to read to them --- and of course forgot. But now I've got a little stickie on my Powerbook and will hopefully remember. I'll let you, Roger, and Roger's blog readers all know what happens!Monica
