Our friends came over in June and the night before the despedida party for one of the brods we went out to eat at Wegman’s (haha, ironic, huh; preparing/cooking for a party but we eat out instead) — we had the usual offerings from the buffet but brought home this
Bread Pudding.
Don’t bother.
All the goodness comes from the externals — the toppings, the caramel sauce, etc. Great pudding does not have to be disguised or gussied up to be good. IOW this isn’t one of them:(…
Ube Roll from Christine’s Bake Shop in New Jersey — “contributed” by another Pinoy friend/hubby’s brod. It was very good, light and spongy like a cake roll should be. The only thing that turns me off is the obvious use of food coloring, though I don’t know how else the bakery could pull off such a lively purple.

Stef – I’ve never seen Ube so positively flourescent!
Have been trying to get someone to answer their phone to order. I have not been so lucky. I have been craving for months for their ube and macapuno ensaimada. Help!!!!!
