This recipe looks really good... I might try to make it one of these days.

And a BIG BIG BIG thanks right back at ya Papa

[Papa Tom]

Well the secret is out but this is not the sauce you had at the get together but it is really good. This is the version that I said rivaled Pappadeux's. The thing that bothered me most about this one is that it essentially contains raw egg so if you make it don't keep it very long, but then I've never had problems with the stuff lasting very long anyway.....enjoy!

BTW this is the correct recipe for the bread pudding.

Thanks PT. Storage life was a question that I was going to ask you about this one. I do remember you mentioning have tweaked the recipe... Maybe, someday you'll be ready to part with the current version. Until then, this one gives us something to play with... Thx again.
