In Memoriam: Sunset Grill and Aura; Rumchata BP is the new truth

Gosh, it's been quite a while since I last posted. Restaurants in Nashville have come and gone. I just saw that Aura is no longer in operation. Also, I am grieving because Sunset Grill is closed. The habanero-butterscotch bread pudding is legendary in my taste buds. It's a sad time, though I know there is bread pudding in my future at one of the new hot spots around town.

If I've had new BP from a restaurant, lately, I can't remember, and with changes in phones, computers and internet services, who knows where the photos might be.

But as Oprah says in her magazine, O, one thing I know for sure is that RUMCHATA BREAD PUDDING IS MY NEW TRUTH! Oh my, a friend gave me a bottle of Rumchata and I thought, hmmm. I found a recipe online and have been smugly content since. It even inspired me to make my own Rumchata, well, actually horchata. I can finally use this rum I've brought from Panama and the Dominican Republic. With French bread or Italian bread, it's fantabulous.

I just tasted the first attempt by a convert friend, and hers is even better than mine. Cheers to TN (her initials, not Tennessee)!
