<\/a>\nI\u2019m a fan of bread pudding even though some versions can be a little dry, practically begging to be paired in a duet with drizzle of sauce. But this one was so moist, so luscious looking, it was undoubtedly a soloist. I caved.<\/p>\n
I arrived home with my treats and Murky\u2019s new BFF. As I was enjoying a prudently tiny taste of each of the three goodies, he brought me his new mouse and laid it at my feet \u2013 as if to say, \u201cThank you.\u201d Awww, Murky!<\/p>\n But then, one prudently tiny taste later, he brought me his old <\/em>mouse and laid it <\/em>at my feet \u2013 as if to say, \u201cPsych!\u201d<\/p>\n Damn.
