Pudding anyone???
It truly is amazing how one can create so much drama over one's own cooking when "disaster" happens. Right, Lisa? :) I am making my aunt's cream puff dessert for a luncheon at work tomorrow for a lady who is retiring. Not only is it a cream puff, but it is a diabetic friendly cream puff. Everything is perfect and I have even made parts of it before Challenge so I won't be up late tonight. Lo and behold, disaster strikes! As I am putting the creamy pudding mixture on I think it looks awfully runny, but think maybe it needs time to set up and then I realize I think I was supposed to use a big box of pudding. (Enter over-dramatic scene, or maybe just one over-dramatic person): Brandi: Oh it is ruined! Evan: Honey, it will be fine. Brandi: No it won't and now all the ladies will judge me and are going to think I don't know how to cook and they think it is because I am not married. Evan: Brandi, they are not going to judge you. Yadda yadda and an unsuccessful trip to dillon's just before midnight because they are closed and no more pudding for me. I trudge home, sure my dessert is ruined and then it happened. I realize, they had to have made pudding at home before it was boxed so there must be a recipe, and if there is a recipe I'm sure it is online. And there it was. Five minutes later, thanks to the microwave and internet, out pops my homemade vanilla pudding (it is actually quite easy) and my cream puff is saved. (Exit drama) Praise God for he is patient, wise and loving when I am ridiculous. And Evan too. Evan is patient, not ridiculous.

ReplyDelete"Vanilla pudding, now!" *stomp*
Hahaha
Girls are quite the dramatic bunch, especially while cooking.
I'm glad it all worked out and the dessert was saved.
Yay for God's patience when we are silly ;)
aw. its okay.
ReplyDeleteand you are awesome at cooking...and practically married anyway...if they do judge you ;)
i love you.
You know where the key to my house is and there is ALWAYS another box of vanilla pudding here. Just don't wake me up when you go rooting around for it at midnight ;) I can't tell you how many times I've had that same realization..."WAIT! Surely "they" used to make this from scratch back in the day!" It's saved me from many a disaster too. Love the story (and Evan IS a little bit ridiculous ;) J/K, Evan! Love!
