Subject: Christmas traditions / Bread Pudding Recipe
Date: Tue, 24 Dec 2002 15:47:37 EST
Bread pudding is a favorite in New Orleans and Acadiana. There are as many
variations of bread pudding as there are cheeses in France.
I just finished cooking the following bread pudding to be served tonight at
the "reveillion". To make a smaller amount, reduce the measurements
accordingly.

Almond Crust Topping:
