Welcome!

As we begin this adventure into the world of Portland's bread pudding, it might be wise to start with answering the question: What is bread pudding. Courtesy of our friends at wikipedia, we have this nice definition:

Bread pudding is a dessert popular in British cuisine, Puerto Rican cuisine, Mexican cuisine, Argentina, Louisiana Creole and that of the Southern United States, as well as Belgian and French cuisine. The French refer to it by the English name "pudding" without the word "bread" and the Belgians call it Bodding or broodpudding, which literally translates as bread pudding. In Spanish it is also referred to as "Capirotada," "Migas" and "Pudín de Pan".^[1][2] It is made using stale (usually left-over) bread, suet, egg, sugar or golden syrup, spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, mace or vanilla, and dried fruit.

While Ben is at work this afternoon, I'll be spending the day inside, plotting out our future bread pudding quest locations.
