Martin: Easy to tell how dry it has been out this way.
Me: The bread pudding story.
This Santa Barbara experience deserves it's own post...
Saturday, February 23rd: For two days I had been carrying around a coupon for one free bread pudding dessert at the Palace Grill. I LOVE bread pudding and begged Marsha and Shelly to go there at some point during our stay. Well, on Saturday night we did. Our initial reaction when we pulled up to the restaurant was hesitation due to the exterior pink neon lights and off main street location. But once we walked in...our skepticism turned to curiosity. It smelled great and the place was packed.
Not long after sitting down the waiters and everyone around us broke into song!
"When the moon hits your eye
Like a big-a-pizza pie
That's amore
When the world seems to shine
Like you've had too much wine
That's amore!"
and so on...
All the waiters were clinking glasses with the patrons. It was hysterical, joyous and a blast!
Alas, the bread pudding arrived and let me just say it was THEE best bread pudding! Marsha and Shelly, who weren't sure they liked bread pudding, enthusiastically agreed. Mmmm. What a fun place!!
