Day #188:
I had absolutely no intentions of working 12 hours when I went to work this morning; however, of all the long shifts I've worked, this was one of the better ones. The Sweet Taste of the Shoals was held at the Regency Square Mall tonight benefitting Big Brothers Big Sisters. We do it every year - dish up some delightful treats to area Shaolians who are getting fatter and fatter. This year, it was Bread Pudding with Whiskey Caramel Sauce. Best part about it? We didn't have to take anybody else (actually we couldn't recruit anybody else). IT was just me and Chef. He dished up the bread pudding, I topped it off with caramel sauce. In the meantime, we laughed hysterically at everybody there. They kept coming by and saying it looks delicious. No it doesn't. Bread pudding never looks delicious. In fact, Chef said it looked like somebody threw-up in the cup. Sure made me want to try some. We had a great debate about how to pronounce caramel (car-mul, care-a-mell, care-mel). Finally we agreed to just start saying it in Icelandic. It was a fun night. :0)
Bread pudding is just one of the few sweet things I've just never been able to really get excited about. Caramel sauce sounds yummy, though!
