Hello Laurie- thank you for introducing yourself. I hope you'll visit and participate often, both to share your knowledge and to learn from others.

What are your favorite ingredients to work with? How did you get into baking and the culinary world? Your profile says you're in the southern U.S.- are there regional dishes you like to make?

I hope you have a look around the entire site, because there's a whole lot more beyond the forums! We'll look forward to seeing you here.

Welcome!

I seem to remember a discussion thread about bread pudding from a while ago... You can do a search; here's just one thread among many:
