a tasty dessert From Gabby DiVine

My friend Tony aka Gabby DiVine sent me this recipe.  I remember my mama always saying. “save the dinner rolls, we are going to make a bread pudding”  We knew she was joking.  My mother was a lot of fun and always made life fun for her kids.  She could easy make jokes and loved to laugh.  There were so many inside jokes in our family  that any outsiders would have thought we were nuts escaped from the mental hospital.  Tony now lives in New Orleans with his partner but he is still a trusted loving friend.  Thanks Tony (Gabby).  I’m going to need my insulin after reading this recipe!
