Episode Transcript for Cherry Bread Pudding

so Mary has dedicated the month of February to a specific food do you want to guess what she picked sure could it be chocolate no how about chili uh no let me give you some hints okay it is grown but not in February it is picked but not in February your nose hahahaha no [Music] welcome to Mom's wooden spoon where the recipes are retro and so are your hosts you can say that again 

welcome to Mom's wooden spoon yay today we are going to make cherry bread pudding I cannot wait I think it sounds quite tasty I love cherries yep I love bread pudding yeah there's more to be seen to this yeah that's true I mean it is cooked in the micro it is and the bread part is slices of white bread right so it's it's something it does come from a Mary's memo though February 1 1982 and in honor of February Mary has made this memo all things Cherry oh I love it she even says Cherry ideas for February and I'm not sure why so she does try to explain as to why she's done it but the explanation I'll be honest seemed a little bootleg well guess what I figured it out shut your face I know I did some research on this recipe and she says that she found it in the 1982 microwave times yes which she loves right I found that 1982 microwave times on eBay I'll be doggone and they had pictures of several of the pages and I lucked out because it only had like four or five pictures of different recipes cherry bread pudding was one of them right it was also listed on the front cover saying that it was a family dessert to celebrate George Washington's birthday which apparently is in February apparently I'll be darn well I was like you know red cherry for Valentine what is this yeah yep so George Washington's birthday I guess everybody knew that 1982 and just right February cherry tree yeah yeah so we need a whole month of cherry ideas yeah I mean there weren't a lot of cherry trees probably having cherries on them in February well that's kind of what I thought it was kind of boot leggy cherries aren't exactly growing in February yeah they're not exactly being picked I know right so you were very confused but fortunately I found microwave times she just stole that right out of microwave times she did indeed you know a Kinder person would have said she is so resourceful right having utilized that information it's not like she could get on the Googles and look up Cherry recipes that is true there were no interwebs no it was card catalog or bust that's right so she did a good job she did you know they had some other fun pictures of recipes on that 1982 microwave times recipes I can't imagine anyone would make because they were so detailed interesting and obviously because they were microwave right right and it was like back and forth just like microwave recipes we've made in the past they were just way too many steps and cook it at this power and then cook it at that power and they were really crazy and a lot of them had liquor in them oh well yeah I that makes it more fun I know they had some that seemed pretty easy but then they had a lot that just seemed wow yeah far too much yeah now this one's going to be easy I think okay so what do we do you take some cherry filling you take some bread some eggs and sugar Whip It Up put in the micro ta da yeah it's basically you take the cherry pie filling and put it at the bottom toss the bread cubes on top and make an eggy mixture yeah not really bread pudding but kind of yeah I am happy to try it yeah you had me at cherry pie Filling oh I do love the good cherry pie filling yes as do I all right so the first step says to spread the pie filling evenly in our one and a half quart casserole so you want to start working on that sure and then we're going to top that with the bread cubes I have a spatula for you if you need it to get out all that cherry goodness yes I don't think this is a real challenging task as it I don't think the whole thing is going to be a challenging task it says to microwave the butter until melted and it tells me exactly how many seconds to do it in the micro well just in case I'm not aware that's super handy well if this is your first time with the micro back in 1984 yeah 1982 whatever 1980 Something so I think I've mentioned before but my plan as a child was if the dessert was pink eat it oh that's a good idea yeah because it meant it was strawberry or cherry based and I automatically was going to love that yummy yum and so I was trying to look up some of those delicious pink desserts yeah and this is my favorite ooh do tell because I remember yep Cherry fluff salad oh did you love that cherry pie filling marshmallows crushed pineapple and almond extract All in One Bowl yum yum yum I mean does it get better than that this might be pretty close this has almond extract in it as well Carrie everything's better with almond extract oh I do love a splash of almond extract in my cookies in anything pancakes that tastes really good we've had this conversation before and not only do you like a splash of almond extract and than yes you're pretty militant what about utilizing the splash of almond extract am I now yeah you try yeah you try to pawn yourself off as this easygoing and laidback lady I am but when it comes to splashes of almond extract you are like there will be almond wow Splash it now now yes yeah it said vanilla I also want almond put in Almond here's the Almond almond yeah it gets kind of scary I'm sorry it's okay I cower briefly yeah right let's take some turns we're almost done I mean seriously yeah oh this is going to be a fun kick back and relax with Carrie and Kristen ooh it will be yeah so I have to pour this 1/4 cup of butter all over and then you have to pour a tablespoon of lemon juice sprinkle that all over after I do the butter so let me pour the butter on don't worry Carrie I have plenty of things to talk about today Carrie screwed it up now she has lemon juice all over her phone the lemon juice it's got like that little hole thing yeah little squirty squirt and so I was trying to squirt it to get the lemon juice to come out faster and I I don't know my own strength apparently not oh my goodness let me get something to wipe that off your phone it went everywhere you'll go to the store they'll be like how did your uh phone die lemon juice but it'll taste Delightful that's so true have you seen those lemon juice challenges yeah they're crazy I think we should do one uh nope nope almond extract maybe oh that would burn that would taste like burning I think that might be worse than the lemon juice I know right all right and now we have three eggs sitting here what do we do with them we're going to make a little Custard with the milk the egg and the sugar there's lemon juice everywhere everywhere oh my gosh it's all over her notes it's it it is everywhere seriously oh my gosh it's on the computer Carrie oh my gosh a couple episodes ago you had cocoa powder and powdered sugar all over the front of you and I splashed some butter oh you were a mess I was absolute mess now it's the lemon juice yeah well it hit the scoop of the spoon it just splashed a little bit and it just you know took flight yes yes okay so let's read these directions combine milk eggs and sugar and almond extract and beat well oh okay ooh Maybe you can beat it to the tune no oh okay I was going to tell you my top favorite songs from 1982 and they might surprise you oh okay they're your top not anybody else's they were in the top 100 but I chose my faves oh okay well let's crack some eggs first okay here we go don't don't you want me you say you don't believe you I don't know the words you say you don't don't you want me you really got trust issues man you say you don't believe you I loved that song of course I can't come up with the right words as we're cracking eggs oh my gosh you say you don't believe you you say you don't believe you oh that was great oh that was good okay let's see if I do this one right my my other favorite I only have two which I know that'll shock you I usually go on and on and on and on 8675309 8675309

the best part what you can't see is she's got her hands shaking above her head like those long red sticks with the air that go in them and how their hands flop oh yeah the waving man thing she's doing that real big as she singing and then when she gets to the quiet 867 said the hands get smaller let's see what do we need milk and sugar milk pour and then I'll get the sugar out that sounds like splashy splashy not like lemon juice no that's already been splashed I have never spent so much time garnering Sugar garnering Sugar Huh yeah cuz I Garner a lot of stuff spilling sugar all over I'm laughing at you miss garnering I mean we're still waiting on the sugar Miss Jennifer Garner come on oh she does cooking videos oh that's right have you ever seen her do her cooking videos that aren't really cooking videos no she's just the cutest darn thing in the whole wide world she is so cute she just can't help it well you can't talk while you whisk oh I can too watch

this oh my God in heaven she spilled it again she spilled it again this is why we have the four cup measuring cup because she knew Mary knew someone would come around like Carrie who would you're making a lot of noise on purpose so that I have to edit this out aren't you you stinker I hadn't thought of that but no oh we need the almond extract I am militant about this so let me get it in there watch out God forbid we forget it we better not forget it all right half a teaspoon OK and you actually have to be careful with almond extract because it can get extremely strong real fast you know that you spilled it all down the side I did nothing of the sort I said nothing nothing of the sort I let you spill it and I did not mock you okay all right I want to tell you a quick story before we pour this over I Googled cherries in 1982 I mean what was your expectation is what I want to know I did not know okay but you know when you're looking for notes for the podcast yeah you have to go in a lot of different directions because we've already done 1982 recipes before so we've done a lot of the you know pop culture what the heck else do we talk about right it's kind of tricky so I just typed in cherries in 1982 hoping Beyond hope that something would come up and I was not disappointed so you hit Pay Dirt oh did I ever that was a video oh okay the very first thing that popped up was a British video from 1982 in which a reporter on the street was showing some old ladies some cherry flavored edible underwear shut up yeah she hands it to one lady who is a total hoot and the reporter says these are cherry flavored knickers would you like to try some and the old lady says what do you mean eat it she takes a nibble and she says oh so they are now I'd soon to say that's raspberry she was awesome she laughed and laughed the whole video is hilarious the reporter goes to a bunch of different people on the street and gets them to literally take a bite of these cherry flavored edible knickers if you guys want to watch it we will have the link on our website it's not very long maybe a four minute video it just gets better and better that's cute it was so great not at all what I anticipated I thought there was like the great Cherry Famine of 1982 well actually 1982 saw the largest tart cherry crop in 10 years it was the opposite of the great Cherry famine it was it was the perfect year for making all Mary's Cherry recipes you know one other thing that was Cherry that they taste tested at the 1982 world's fair there in Tennessee McDonald's Cherry Pie no oh Cherry Coke oh I love Cherry Coke me too you pretty much add that cherry flavor to all sodas and it's delicious delightful absolutely I had a cherry flavored ginger ale the other day ooh I'll bet that was good yeah it doesn't just have to be a cola okay I think it's time to start you know pouring on the stuff so we pour on the eggs and then we sprinkle on cinnamon which one do you want to do I'm doing the cinnamon I have seen how you sprinkle stuff and it has not gone well today Carrie nothing I have done has gone well today Kristen I'm used to that Carrie I was gonna say it's a normal day in the kitchen with Carrie it's a normal day in the kitchen with Carrie a normal day for a kitchen that was weird yeah I know it's a good try thank you that one's not winning any awards dang it I tried okay I'm pouring you better hurry it up hurry I just have to pour cinnamon on the top yeah how much are you going to sprinkle I don't know these are things you need to decide Kristen we don't work in this kitchen all willy-nilly like that is so true we have a plan and we execute it wow and when almond is involved we are militant about the execution I don't understand where you come up with that that I'm militant I think we made cookies one season and we were discussing if we should add in Almond or not and if I recall correctly you had very strong they weren't just strong opinions but you communicated them well oh and that makes me militant well I'm being really polite in the words I'm using oh nice so they were strong opinions you communicated militantly is what I'm trying to say so then and guess what we added the Almond heck yeah we did cause I was militant about it I was afraid you're crazy wow well she was not kidding when she said one and a 1/2 quart container it is what a quarter of an inch from the top it's nicely full yeah it is all right so we're going to pop this into the micro for 17 to 19 minutes I think I'll start it with 17 minutes and see how we go 17 minutes and I did it we have it starting we have lift off so Carrie I was trying to think you've got an entire room makeover when you were a kid I did I was thinking that might have been around 1982 wow it was in the 80s I thought for sure for sure now the bedroom before this had something pretty cool on the ceiling yeah oh oh my gosh it was the bedroom that when we moved into this house yeah Lil Kristen looked in the window and was like this is the house we need Yep and this is my bedroom this is my bedroom it ended up being carries after all but it had floral wallpaper on the ceiling it did and it was like fluorescent green and pink and they were groovy flowers super groovy wallpaper on the ceiling oh man you will be surprised to know that upon remodeling redecorating the bedroom that the wallpaper was the first thing mom took away and that was very sad to me yeah oh sad to me too because it was so groovy so groovy and then I think you had one of those super cool bed spreads I saw on like a Sears catalog from the 70s it was Patchwork quilt of different patches of floral pattern in pastels and all the patches were hooked together with bric a brac you have mentioned this before and I have zero recollection really I don't remember not even one little bit oh what I do remember about that bedroom is on occasion we would need to share the bed yes frequently before like Christmas Eve you know Christmas Eve we share the bed for Christmas day and what I call the most is that you said the only way that you could fall asleep is if you rolled over toward me and threw your leg and arm over me suffocating and stifling me and then after I could take it no more yeah I would get out from underneath you and go walk around the other side of the bed to just get in on the other side of the bed and in your deep deep sleep yeah you would would roll over yeah to that side of the bed so then I'd walk over to the other side and once again in a fit of deep sleep yeah You' roll back over oh my goodness so that I could not in fact get back into the bed at all until in a fit of rage I woke your mean self up and told you to move over and got in the bed well guess what I did that to my husband our first year married and now I have a body pillow I was like and now he sleeps in the other room that's right oh my gosh that's funny well sorry about that sorry about that you know that is the worst sorry not sorry I've ever heard in my life not sorry I I have mentioned my childhood trauma over having to share a bed with Kristen in the past yeah it was pretty bad it was you know was perfect older sister of course hijinks yeah and why would we share a bedroom on Christmas Eve to make sure we both stayed in the bed I think it was a way to make sure that neither one of us got up oh that was clever yeah cuz then one of us would ultimately get up to go to the other one and so if you just stuck Us in the same room why didn't we sleep in your room I don't know know oh because well I had bunk beds and you had a nice double bed you probably would have preferred the bunk beds because I would have been in a totally separate bed from you never crossed my mind until this very moment why don't we sleep in your bed I don't know but there's a story in my husband's family where all the kids there were several of them got up and would gather in the brother's room okay and they were making a lot of noise and their dad got up and came in the room and you know the light was on and so he was squinting and stuff and he's like you guys go back to bed it's too early and my husband as a little boy was brave enough to go that's fine old squint eyes oh he risked life and limb oh that was Brave to say all squint eyes to his dad that's hilarious so now back to your bedroom I just started to think that it probably wasn't 82 because you had a Kirk Cameron poster on your wall do you remember that oh gosh yeah because I looked up to see how tall Kurt Cameron was yeah and hung the poster so his head was at real Kirk Cameron height oh for kissing huh yeah oh my gosh that's hilarious I'd kiss him good night every night I love it and that uh growing pants didn't come out till 1985 but now there's no saying that I didn't hang the Kirk Cameron poster that's true after right right because I mean it was just taped to the wall right now my question is I think the room was Mint green with a Mint green gingham wallpaper I think on at least one wall yes the room was a pale green yeah and it had um flowers in kind of stripes on one wall on the far wall why do I remember it as being green gingham there was no gingham wow isn't it funny how memories work yeah and I had a comforter that had pale like rainbow Stripes going down and that matched kind of the flower Stripes of the wall wow pattern on pattern oh my goodness it was so cute but you had the super cool water bed oh my gosh yes I did yeah yeah the water bed was wonderful I saved up half the money for the water bed with my babysitting money wow and our parents paid for the rest of it but back in the 80s you got paid like a couple of bucks for babysitting for hours so I had to save up a long time yeah to get that water bed but you loved it oh did I love it I had it until our first couple years of marriage wow we finally got rid of it the water bed yeah yeah and it was a free floaty it was not one with the foam insert ooh I loved my water bed I remember when you took it when you moved out and you had to move into an apartment complex they were really concerned about you living on the second floor with the weight of the water bed that you were going to crash and kill the people below you I know right and sometimes if it was configured in a crazy way I'd have to hook up the hose to fill it in an outside spigot and run the hose up into the window and into the bed that's hilarious I didn't even think about filling it but that sucker would be beautiful to move it was so easy you pour the water out you know you put the hose into the bathtub and let it all drain out and kind of Squish it down and then you just fold it up and unscrew all the pieces and the bed just comes apart it could fit in a hatchback go go gadget bed go go gadget bed I mean that's versus like trying to tie your mattress to the roof of your hoopdee I know right yeah try not to make the whole car Blow Flying nun style Flying nun style  I moved that bed a lot yeah I got good at it that's nice yeah I liked it best when it was sloshy yeah when you'd get some air bubbles in the bed and so as You' wiggle around it would slosh but I tried not to have those so I would burp the bed you had to burp the bed you remember that you take the cap off and then you carefully kind of Squish those bubbles out it's kind of like putting on a screen protector you know how you squish the bubbles out kind of did that with a yeah no I wouldn't have burped it at all I had have blown extra air in there I like that's hilarious yeah oh I can smell the eggs oh my my gosh let's take a peek at it through the little window o' the micro oh it's fluffed all up except for the center is still in a big divot okay so it's not cooked yet but we've got five minutes to go five minutes left ooh yeah smelling like custard it is I can start to smell the eggs yeah so you know I thought one of the weirdest things was just take pieces of white bread and throw them in I mean I realized bread pudding uses old bread I don't know it just struck me as odd but so I got started looking because I know sliced bread hasn't been around near as long as you would think it has been around right do you know what year it was invented I know there's something on the Internet about Betty White and sliced bread either Betty White was born prior to there being sliced bread or just after was she was Prior so our grandma was Prior oh my gosh so early 1900s yes tell me the date 1928 wow yeah and so I looked it up I was like let's learn a little bit more about how sliced bread came about and this is a quote from the website that I found it was like an NBC article about sliced bread okay the history of sliced bread is marked by Innovation a factory fire wary consumers a wartime ban and public outcry holy Moly it is a little known Story full of drama and Intrigue who would have thunk I know I feel like that should be like the beginning of our date Line special no kidding yeah so let me tell you a little bit about it please do it's not near as dramatic or intriguing as one would think a but Otto Frederick Rodwetter oh okay we're just going to call him Ot from now on he was a bed wetter okay Ot had purchased jewelry stores and he got this great idea that we needed to have sliced bread so he sold his jewelry stores for Capital he created a very promising prototype for a bread slicing machine and in 1917 after creating this there was a factory fire it destroyed all of his Blueprints and the prototype machine no yeah so poor Ot spent the next 10 years reworking the Prototype of the bread machine and so then in 1928 he created a 10 foot long metal box that would cut and wrap bread but you know they wrap it in um wax paper right yeah anyway so that's 19 that's when he came out with slicing machine he was persistent he was apparently he did all kinds of stuff Ot was just a creating genius yeah he did all kinds of stuff and one of the side benefits of the sliced bread machine is that the toaster which had been invented far earlier yeah in 1893 whoa became super popular because you can just take your piece of sliced bread and toast it easy peasy you wouldn't have to get a knife and a cutting board and make a mess yes yes okay but during World War II you know they had a lot of bans on various Foods yeah and they banned pre-sliced bread yeah for in homes and bakeries why nobody really can figure out because there was no shortage on flour there was no shortage on metal to make the cutting machines plus everybody already had a cutting machine it isn't as if they broke so there was absolutely no reason that anybody historically can find out why they did it and that is the public outcry people lost their crap women housewives lost their crap and one housewife wrote into a large newspaper and wrote that it was important for the and I quote morale and saneness of a household oh my Gosh to have sliced bread heck yeah I mean talk about an invention that made a huge difference in the lives of Housewives so much so that housewives are saying we're going to lose our minds you take this away if you take this away from us thought in that short period of time we cannot live without it I never would have thought that the bread slicing machine would be that important have that big of a a result impact I mean there's obviously a reason that people say it's the best thing since sliced bread that's right I never really understood that yeah oh Saved by the Bell saved from what a lengthy discussion about more bread I was done oh good gosh she's so negative oh let's see I think it might need oh it looks too eggy yeah the middle is still sunken yeah so I'm going to do it for the two additional minutes I think that's perfect all right all right more beeping so we're gonna do two minutes actually back to 1982 I decided since we were doing everything Cherry to look up what would be the most popular dessert in 1982 okay and I thought oh maybe it'll be something about cherries that that would be cool but no it was about strawberries okay it was strawberry poke cake oh yeah I never made one really yeah they're so easy you make the box cake probably white or yellow probably white because it looks prettier and then you take the handle of the wooden spoon and poke holes all over it and pour in this case strawberry Jell-O just the liquid before it solidifies all over the top and then I think you maybe refrigerate that and then you end up putting Cool Whip all over the top yeah so easy totally know of it yeah and I ate plenty of it it would have passed the pink food test yes but I never I never made one which is odd because I you know I didn't mind making cakes and stuff like that right oh there we go I think we're probably done now this time I'm Saved by the Bell yeah from my long story about poke cake yes oh gosh it's very insistent yeah oh oh it's wiggly jiggly it is I'm concerned I am too I keep thinking I'm like I get sick with undercooked egg do you think it'll just Harden as it cools but see the center is I mean it feels very soft maybe a couple more minutes Kristen okay let's give it a try okay we're going a couple extra minutes you know and we can't count on the fact that my microwave Cooks like the microwaves in 1982 there's no telling put it on for three minutes this is going to be the longest podcast ever and it's just gonna be beeps I know right nothing but beeps at the end of the podcast yeah when you put funny things in if you are a listener to the podcast and you have not yet noticed yeah stay around because Kristen likes to take bloopers and some other stupid things that I do yeah all Carrie it's pretty much all me and put them at the end of the podcast so you can laugh and mock me yeah for all eternity at the very very end after we say don't say poison we're making food yeah that's when I put funnies I've been doing it for two seasons now yeah so if you haven't heard stick around and listen yeah and this time I'm thinking Kristen should just do a a song in microwave beeps that's right oh that's a good idea maybe a 1982 - 4 whatever Year song I have it okay let's hear what song came out yeah in microwave beeps 1982 the song made by Frank and Moon Unit Zappa came out oh I remember the names valley girl she's a valley girl she's a valley girl I could

do boop boop beep boop boop boop boop beep boop boop I think maybe we should find something better okay well how about let's talk about Valley Girl terminology oh you don't have another song no that was it that was it well I already sang for you don't don't you want me I think that' be major better beep option oh okay well let's talk about valley girl terminology anyway because you say one of these words constantly and so do I and I try to edit them all out of the podcast because like I think that we sound like we are from the 80s we are we say like constantly on the podcast and I try to edit them all out really yep yep so that was totally a valley girl terminology that is seriously gnarly dude as if gag me with a spoon that's so bitching I would never have said that no we would get in trouble it is a bad word yeah that word is grody our parents listen to this Kristen whatever oh yeah that was a good one that was a good one I'm out of I it was a good one for sure for sure yes let's see totally oh yes these are great oh my God I said that so weird oh my God it's the face she makes like her her lip goes up her eye squinches her do it again oh my God I don't know what happens but half of her face goes up into her hairline seriously anyways oh anyways with the S at the end yes yeah those are good ones they're like amazing so like amazing for sure Carrie I like em I think we need to just be done cooking this sucker you think people are sick of the beep I think they're sick of our Valley girls oh I think they are too I think they are too oh oh it's really fluffed up high now oh it looks better it's Wiggly woggly but I think maybe as it cools I we'll find out here's hoping when I touch it it's very bouncy like a water bed yeah it's pretty good all right wiggly jiggly yeah so we ought to let this cool for a while otherwise it's going to be way too flabby and too molten lava thought you were making a joke on me you started with flabby and

I'm like oh that's mean but I am not like molten lava well you know what there are momentsit's the age there are moments molten lava from the inside it's the hormones oh my gosh all right well we will see you guys in a few minutes after we let this bad boy cool [Music] the bread pudding has been sufficiently microed it has it has been sufficiently cooled it looks great it has peeled away from the edges it feels way more solid it does it looks I was going to say it looks like bread pudding but it's very eggy you know what it looks like that egg casserole that did we end up making it on the podcast or just sharing I think we just shared the recipe and it's a savory breakfast casserole where you put the crumbled up sausage on the bottom and bread cubes and eggs that's what this looks like it does it is far eggier than I anticipated it to be so let's take a scoop of this okay oh and then Kristen pulls she has a spoon in it she pulls a spoon out and there's this red streak on it and it freaked me out looks like it's bleeding yes it's cuz there's cherries on the bottom cherries oh wow it's very liquidy at the bottom of course it's a cherries nothing but the cherries let me pour that over you know what the egg is completely cooked I expected to dig down and see some you know ooey gooey egg that hadn't been completely cooked no this seems to be cooked perfectly it does it dishes up oddly in the pan because the egg stuff stays where it is but the cherry pie filling fills in the hole that you left you don't want to keep scooping that out or some people won't have any cherries right in theirs I'm finding that I'm a little more hesitant on this one than I was at the beginning really yeah I'm not sure it may be the egg yeah as she takes a bite of that I want want to get you guys in the mood for this recipe I found a list of the habits of 1982 listening to Michael Jackson's Thriller album playing video games Ms Pac-Man and Qbert oh Qbert yeah break dancing never uh moonwalking still can't yeah I can't either watching the film ET I can do that watching and sometimes exercising with Jane Fonda's workout videotape I totally love Jane Fonda's workout tape yeah I prefer Richard Simmons dancing to the oldies Richard Simmons sweating to the oldies I prefer that yeah now this one kind of stumped me and I had to look up what it was and then I totally knew wearing Deely Boppers do you know what Deely Boppers are no they are those headbands with two Springs like antennas and then you would have like pom poms on the top or other things like that those are really popular in 82 I don't remember remember wearing them I do remember them I surely had no idea they had a name me neither uhuh Deely Boppers Deely Boppers okay and then my favorite playing with Strawberry Shortcake doll yes please yes all day please loved her oh my gosh we had a whole bunch of them didn't we I even had the purple pie man he was creepola he was and I had blueberry pie which was a boy blueberry muffin was the girl you had Huckleberry pie the boy excuse me I know my strawberry shortcakes I have a candle in my bedroom that is blueberry muffin it has her picture on it oh sorry I know right and then you had the little one called Apple Dumpling yes she was one of my favorites she had curly red hair like you did she did and she came with a pet I want to say a rabbit but I'm afraid to say anything because you're I think it was a Turtle I'll correct you it's fine whatever strawberry shortcake had a cat let's stop talking and why don't you eat some of the Cherry bread pudding it's good is it yeah it's eggier than bread pudding typically is I wish we could have kind of gotten that egg mixture more into the bread I think that would have helped or maybe added more bread I don't know but it's tasty the cherry pie filling is delicious it just has a slightly more eggy texture it's absolutely delicious but I just thought of something remember how we've purchased apples and they were too big for 70s standards yes we used three eggs and when I brought them out I thought they looked huge what if they were extra huge for early 80s standards of large eggs oh because really they were large for 2024 standards 2025 standards yep you know yep and so maybe it is just too much egg so maybe just two eggs or maybe three medium eggs yes let me look at the Box who buys medium egg do they even sell medium eggs I know right I don't think so I'm going to try one more bite cuz it is tasty and if you get the bready part it tastes like bread pudding but and you get a chunk of the eggy part it it's still delicious it really is delicious I just went and looked at the egg carton and they just say large but when I pulled them out I thought dang those are extra large
