I'm a huge fan of bread pudding, especially when there is chocolate involved. My absolute favorite dessert is the hazlenut chocolate bread pudding at the Cornelia Street Cafe in NYC--wonder if this one could hold up a candle (mom, let's try this). And if anyone else does, post a comment and let me know. I always thought tea went nicely with the dessert, but in dessert...an interesting experiment with the mint :). Sounds like a bored housewife, ahem, house husband wanna-be scientist had himself a great afternoon.
