We had homemade chocolate pudding today while watching family movies.And the pudding reminded me of my own childhood. My brother Shane would make homemade vanilla pudding, what seemed to me like all the time. I didn't seem to like it then. Tonight it was yummmmmy.
I think moving here has definitely brought us closer as a family. Of course I was brought to tears of laughter and longing for the past. You know in these movies I don't seem crazy or on the edge of a meltdown. I seem to be delighting in the wonder of my children. There voices alone break my heart with tenderness. And you know they are friends in the movies too. Genuinely having a wonderful time discovering life together.
It made for a nice moment tonight.
Pudding is my comfort food . . . warm, chocolate pudding with whipping cream or just cream poured on top! When I was young, my Granny would make us each an individual dish when we would sleep over. When we were sick it's what I asked my mom to fix me to help me feel better: chocolate, vanilla or yummy Tapioca.
ReplyDeleteHowever, my boys don't think pudding is much of a comfort food. They'd rather have applesauce or yogurt or a smoothie when they are sick. But I will always ask them if I can make them pudding :).
