Irene with her birthday bread pudding

bread pudding was NOT her first choice. or her second or even her third! there was a run on all of her favorites - no italian wedding cake. no coconut cream pie. not even any lemon merengue (sp?) pie - even though our waiter said it was on his menu. ah well. she was well pleased with this too. of course, had i known that her favorite dessert wasn't going to be there, i'd have made something fabulous. poor beanie girl...the top is one of her presents from Papa and Gramma.
