Pity my mother, her ilk, and their culinary epiphany in the 1950s. Enthralled with the freedom the new convenience foods allowed, when shopping for groceries they’d scoff at the produce section, as they merrily stacked canned vegetables, tasting of tin, and sugary fruit cocktail into their carts. “Instant Potatoes” and “Minute Rice” - wham, bam - slam dunks tossed into the mix with abandon; these staples, alongside the Spam, would keep well into the Cold War.

With leftover rhubarb, a few remaining strawberries, half a baguette, and the last dribble of orange marmalade staring me down, I debated my options. I am not a girl who wastes food; I re-purpose it. Pope Francis even noted recently, speaking in St. Peter's Square, that "Our grandparents used to make a point of not throwing away leftover food. Consumerism has made us accustomed to wasting food daily and we are unable to see its real value."

These tidbits weren't sufficient to contribute to a meal; the bread was quite firm, in fact, and wouldn't have been edible as it was.

But each of these forlorn ingredients contributed beautifully to my dessert.

I thought about creating something novel and innovative, but ultimately I gave in to my favorite — bread pudding. It's classic, and I love it. I had everything I needed to make it. And so, I did.

Sweet and spicy, with hints of tartness and color sprinkled throughout, this is a stellar springtime dessert.

While teens are more easily susceptible to being influenced, it's not because they are unable to make rational decisions, but because they derive more pleasure from social acceptance than adult brains.
