Festival Time

three different music stages, providing a non-stop music and dancing
atmosphere. And the Bayou Food Festival will have dozens of booths packed with succulent Cajun and Creole delights, created by some of Acadiana's best chefs.. And the Louisiana Arts and Crafts Show will display even more of the area's talent. (click on links in black for a list of festival bands, food vendors and menus, and artists)

Your weekend festival sounds like something my hubby and I would love. And thanks for the bread pudding recipe. That's one of my weaknesses, but for some reason, I've never prepared it. (Helped my mother make it years ago, but just never got around to doing it myself.) But NOW I will. Your recipe is simply too good to resist. (Your fault if my belly bulges!)
Oh my, that bread pudding looks divine! I will definitely be trying it.
I really think we will probably eat this when we get to heaven..how in the world do you keep coming up with such awesome recipes??this might make my Thanksgiving table this year....enjoy your weekend...Mona

You introduced me to bread pudding. I had heard it before, but never been a fan. Then your blueberry recipe. Suppose I need to try this one as well. I don't think it will disappoint.
Caramel and apple are some of the comfort foods that can really make my day! I gotta try this recipe!
Love bread pudding, but adding in the caramel and apple, YUM!
Oh your bread pudding sounds heavenly!!
Tonight we had your creole stuffed peppers....melt in your mouth delicious!!!
THANKS, Cher! I had forgotten all about lulu and am seriously leaning in that direction. Amazon seems to have a lot of twists and turns. But, we'll see. I have until Sunday to decide. Again, thank you, thank you!!!
Susan- Thanks so much for your lovely comment and for stopping by! You're welcome, and I hope you try it.

Hi Marguerite, your bread pudding is a lot different from the one I grew up with and we didn't have rum sauce either. Sounds delicious. I will have to make it sometime soon. I found and am now following you through My Romantic Home and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris
That bread pudding looks so goof all covered in the rum sauce!
