This is a real bread for a winter day.  I have a lot of bits and pieces in the fridge.  Applesauce left over from making gingerbread decorations, yogurt and cranberries.  I tweaked a recipe that I found online to use up all of these “bits”.  Sometimes my experiments go the way of the garbage can.  (Like when I used to go to my grandmother’s house and make “soufflé” by throwing a lot of random ingredients into a bowl and covering it with sprinkles.)  And sometimes my food experiments work out.  Luckily, this was one of those times.  Hey, it only took 25 years to get here!
