Because it’s fall break & there were things that needed using (apple picking & travel remnants I.e. cider doughnuts, apples & left over cinnamon pecans from Bucees) — so it’s apple & cider doughnut bread pudding with a pecan topper & bourbon sauce (because we have to go back to school tomorrow 😂)

Welp I tried to make an effort & was immediately corrected by the universe— my drink spilled & as I was desperately wiping it off I snagged the necklace I put on & broke it! That will teach me 😂! Hope everyone has a good Thursday despite any inauspicious beginnings.
