Chocolate Cinnamon Bread Pudding

Chocolate Cinnamon Bread Pudding @diethood

I have to talk about something… Something funny, but always weird… We people are a funny bunch.

The other day I went to the docs for an annual check-up. Don’t worry, I’m not about to share a story that involves heartburn and postpartum hip/pelvic pain.

Okay. So. I walked into the reception area, signed some papers, moved onto the waiting room area and spotted only one available seat. I sat down, took out my phone to look like I have something to do, and then it happened; the lady to my left turned toward me and started to stare.

I looked at her, I smiled, thinking that she just wanted to say Hi, but no. She just kept on staring. I said, “HI!”. She smiled back, and kept staring! Now I’m thinking, great, the freakin’ prunes I had this morning are stuck in my teeth. Or maybe I have a coffee mustache. Whatever it is, maybe if I mind my own business, she will look away. Aha, right.

Then the next thing happened… She started talking. Oh my bejesus, she didn’t stop! Talking about her kids, and the one that was on the way, her job, her husband, her in-laws…

Really? Is this what you want to share with strangers? If she was fishing for sympathy, epathy, and all other athys that exist, I could have maybe helped, but this lady? NO. She just wanted to talk, and talk…

Look, it’s all good that you want to get it all off your chest, but I don’t know you. And quite frankly, do you think that anybody cares about how you want to drop kick your husband and his mom? Don’t we all?!?

I have to say, I have never been so excited to hear my name called by the nurse that’s about to do my annual exam. But, before I left, I advised her to start a Blog because it is totally acceptable to dish it out on a blog. 😉

And about this bread pudding! Don’t ever let me catch you throwing away stale bread! If it’s stale, you need to turn to this recipe… It is that awesome. It is all that you think it is. Chocolate and cinnamon. The best marriage of all.

ENJOY!

    You crack me up! I always get caught by the chatty cathys, not sure how it happens LOL! 🙂 I became a fan of bread pudding last year, and now just love it! Your bread pudding looks and sounds fantastic! Hugs, Terra

  3. This looks fantastic! It’s been WAY too long since I’ve made bread pudding…I think I need to get some bread and let it go stale just for this purpose. 🙂 🙂

    My husband ALWAYS attracts the big talkers. I can sense someone who’s about to over-share a mile away and Jeff always manages to get lulled into weird conversations while I try to zone out. I love bread pudding, this looks great!

  5. Great story but the best part was when you told her to start a blog! Didn’t see that coming causing me to LOL!!!! Never, never, never throw out stale bread! There are so many uses for it and bread pudding is the best. Great recipe! Love the addition of the chocolate!!!!!

  6. Too funny…I always have my head in a book, but sometimes it just doesn’t work! I adore bread pudding…and yours looks amazing. I think I’ll plan to have some leftover bread from my stuffing to make this 🙂

  7. LOL! What a chatty person… but she had to give you the old stare down first. Some people are a bit nuts. 🙂

    Love the look of this bread pudding.. .those chocolate chips are so inviting. 🙂

  8. My husband always jokes that those kind of talkers always seem to find me – no matter where we are. 😉 I love bread pudding! I will for sure be having some this weekend.

    Too funny, especially the staring part, but love the advice you gave to her. And, I promise to save my next batch of stale {gluten-free} bread so I can make this bread pudding. Oh, my yum!!!

    I am not a talker. I travel a lot and always seem to get paired with talkers. Planes, trains, you name it. I have become a winner at looking grumpy. People don’t talk to grumpies. Bread pudding I never understood but with chocolate I am willing to try 🙂

  11. ha! well, I certainly don’t stare, and if someone isn’t receptive I stop talking, but I am one who will start a conversation with strangers while waiting – in the line at the post office, grocery store, waiting room – yeah, I’m a talker. not about anything personal or inappropriate, but … I like to talk I guess 🙂

    I LOVE bread pudding, this looks SO very good!

      I’m also a talker, and will start a convo with anyone, but some people share too much with strangers… 🙂
