Rainee, what do you bake it in? The same bowl you mixed everything up in?

[Raine]

Any baking dish will do.

I don't think I want to spend so much money on 2 dozen Krispy Kremes. That's a significant expenditure, considering you're making bread pudding.

We didn't eat any of it at the Jack, it might be worth the cost. Kinda like buying steak.

I think it sounds wonderful, except I've never been a fan of fruit cocktail. I'm guessing that it needs the liquid equivelent, tho'......anything else I might use?

[Raine]

Guess you could just experiment and try different things you like. I'm not real fond of fruit cocktail either, but I am fond of Krispy Kreme's

"fond" is a nice word for

"must have it now!"

I'm surprised WayneT hasn't joined in -
