I have been meaning to tell you (since you wondered who had the sweet tooth with the dessert recipes)…. We had dessert every night. There was never a meal without dessert – and always once a week there would be bread pudding because all good New England housewives saved the crusts and stale pieces to make the bread pudding – waste not, want not!
