There will be a potluck tomorrow at the Ladies Bible Class that I attend. It was said that each of us should bring a dish that you crave during this season.

“One dish???” मैंने सोचा था कि. अच्छी तरह से, that’s the most difficult part!!! I absolutely love food. And my mind is always full of ideas. व्यंजनों, ah, I have tons and tons of them, as well as cravings.

“I have to narrow down all the options a bit,” I told myself… otherwise, I’ll wind up showing up there empty-handed.

Since apple, pumpkin, pecans, and sweet potato dishes are my fall favs – with chocolate and bread being my all time-favorites regardless of the season– I decided to make a Chocolate-Pumpkin-Pecan Bread Pudding this time.

All I can say is that I wish you were there to taste at least a spoonful. I must admit that I made not one but two baking dishes of the bread pudding– one for the ladies and one for my family, जरूर. It just wouldn’t be fair to them (read ”me”) to not be able to enjoy some too, don’t you agree?

Enjoy the season — and this plate-licking dessert too!!!!!!!!
