DESSERTS ALWAYS ARE IN DEMAND

 Good Morning Loves.....
I was doing a bit of reminiscing the other day..
I think when you reach a certain age,
 that happens  often....

I was remembering Norma who owned her own cafe

It was a hot spot for business lunches, a morning stop for coffee
and a slice of her poppy seed bread, which was
a popular request among her customers.
The poppy seed bread is still in demand.....
Her food was in such demand, she opened two
more locations successfully!

Now my personal favorite was her chicken salad followed
with a serving of her bread pudding!!
If you are a bread pudding connoisseur 
then I will tell you that Norma's was
the best ever....not to mention her custard sauce....

The holidays featured her
Apple Bread Pudding with Brown Sauce..laced with Apple Brandy

Fiesta Bread Pudding with Orange Sauce...
this recipe uses Cuban Bread and Fruit Cocktail

and
Lemon Poppy Seed Bread  pudding with Lemon Sauce

I have these original recipes, so if you are interested in one of her
bread pudding recipes, leave a comment and I will gladly publish.

When I think of Norma's I remember the good times
and dab away a few happy tears....
Norma also was in the catering business
and had her helpers dress in Civil War costumes
for one of the city's historic events...she was fun like that..
No one could master the art of looking like Scarlett,
Mammy or Prissy.....



Norma's was a family affair...
her daughters often helped her prepare the foods,
her Daddy kept the financials straight and
they held a strong bond for family...
