Desserts

My office had it's holiday luncheon today. There are only four of us, so it's not a really big deal. Each year the boss pulls out the company credit card, closes the office, and makes reservations at a nice restaurant in the area.

In an attempt to get as much from the luncheon as possible (it is, after all, our only Christmas bonus) we all order appetizers and desserts with our meal. Today my meal was average - a nice Ceasar salad and some shrimp and bow tie pasta with a very strange orangish sauce, but dessert was heavenly.

It was called Cajun Bread Pudding - I'm not sure where the Cajun influence came in (unless they are whiskey drinkers because the sauce was supposed to be made with whiskey - though I couldn't taste it.) But I have to say, it was heavenly. It was a normal bread pudding, sprinkled with soft raisins, and covered in a heavenly peachy-colored cream sauce. It was the best part of the meal.

Sometimes life doesn't bring us much, but if we can get a nice dessert out of it once in a while, it's worth it.
