My Newest Quest

The best steak restaurant I have ever eaten is The Hereford House in Kansas City. I don't remember if it was when we went to Phantom of the Opera or to the Air Medical Conference, but I can picture it just down the street from the convention center and theater. We waited in a LONG line. It was extremely expensive($100 for just the two us). Watched as they grilled our steaks on an open grill and they were perfect! But the absolute best was my dessert. Bread pudding. Since that day I have wanted to duplicate the bread pudding in that restaurant. So last week when we went on a bike ride and stopped at the Nauvoo Winery to get some wine for a friend I found the perfect cookbook to add to my collection. It is a collection of old bread pudding recipes! So my quest officially begins to try each one and maybe modify to create the perfect bread pudding. I know what your thinking..... Not many people like bread pudding and even I am not sure who I will feed it to. But the fun is in creating it. What is really interesting is in this book I have found a recipe for Old Fashioned Christmas Pudding too. It takes six hours to bake it! I can't wait for a few days off so I can try it! Got to get through Christmas cookie time first though then comes the pudding.
