It did! I had to find out what it was... it's "pumpkin bread" pudding
(bread pudding made with pumpkin bread), not pumpkin "bread pudding"
(bread pudding with pumpkin puree). That was a revelation right there
and it turned out there were lots of other recipes for it on the
internet.

I don't make his recipes, but I don't make anybody's recipes... one or
two here or there. That's about it. I actively didn't like him in
the past, but I've been catching his Boy Meets Grill lately and like
that one. It's not one of those things where I have to rush off and
find the recipe, but the shows have a lot of grilling ideas and I like
the idea of making so many different things on a charcoal grill.

I used to think so too, but I'm neutral on the subject now. I did
*not* like Ree Drummond on that show. She struck me as a
self-absorbed snot.
