GRAPEVINE, PART II

The next time I visited my family, my son-in-law Mike had the pleasure of entertaining me on Wednesday, his day off. We went to the Grapevine, after I explained to him that his own little town of Donaldsonville contained restaurants of the quality of elite New Orleans places. He could not refuse to agree with me.

Although Mike and my daughter Christie have visited the Grapevine several times, she is still a Grapevine neophyte because she cannot pass up one of the salads. She really is not unobservant though: she taught all of us, including some of the staff, that the bread needs to be dipped into a little bowl of the house dressing.

Last year, a friend of mine, Dr. Paul Elliott, a Dallas Internet marketer�in my opinion the world�s most talented marketer�visited us in Donaldsonville. Paul is also the most proficiently-talking silver-tongued speaker�his specialty is copywriting�I�ve ever known; and he is a gastronomic marvel.

Although his mouth has never met food he didn�t like, he has the ability to discern what is really good. His taste buds are so acute that he can name every ingredient used in my dishes, sometimes as many as twenty.

His tongue went wild in the Grapevine. After we consumed the crawfish bread as an appetizer and the special of the day, he asked in pure Texas vernacular, �What is the piece of resistance?�

�White chocolate bread pudding,� Miss Effie replied without hesitation.

Would you believe that Cynthia gave me the official recipe for her White Chocolate Bread Pudding to share with my readers? You can find your copy at my website, www.fwlcookbook.com. Go to the home (index) page and click on the title, listed on the left side.

This Christmas, Christie and I made white chocolate bread pudding for her friend Melissa. We didn�t want to make the entire amount as I have been doing; so we shrank the recipe. Out of respect for the Grapevine, I dare not tell you how I divided the ingredients. When we make the bread pudding, it is so good that it disappears instantly, but its taste pales in comparison to la pi�ce de r�sistance. Although Cynthia told me exactly how to make the dish, I believe the secret is in the bread.
