Christine's Chocolate Custard for Me
Monday, May 5, 2008 by Michael
Friends... something really interesting happened yesterday and I cannot resist my temptation talking to you about it. I will never forget May 4th 2008. I was feeling a bit low and went for a walk yesterday but headed back home early. I was hanging on my couch with all the notes on the art of wine making that I got from Jack. Wine Day is right around the corner (May 25th) and Uncle Fred's birthday is on May 18th. I thought I should get myself ready to give him a surprise. Why not celebrating the Wine Day a little in advance on Fred's birthday?
I saw Rex rushing towards the door wagging his tail. Just when got up to see who it was, I heard Christine calling Rex, asking him to open the door. Did she come to meet me or Rex? I opened the door and we had a great surprise... "Hey Mike, I cooked something for you and Rex," she said with a bright smile on her face. This was the first time that she surprised me. I didn't know that she was a good cook, too. Rex was so happy... he probably knew that Christine was a great cook!
"Why can't we celebrate Chocolate Custard Day a day earlier?" said Christine. Chocolate custard! My mouth started watering. She went to m
y kitchen, took out two plates. Rex followed her in the kitchen, stood on his two legs trying to lick Christine's face. She said, "I bought a special treat for you, Rex". She served the custard to me on a plate and kept half for herself. She said "Mike, you have it first... I'm sure you will like it. I made it myself." Rex finished off his treat in two big gulps, wagging his tail. It might be really delicious! Now it was my turn to taste the chocolate custard.
I was shocked. It was really tasteless. I wondered if she had added salt instead of sugar! It was the tough to swallow. Was it the time to prove how much I loved her? She had that bright smile on her face... "Yes Mike, how is it? I know you will love it! This was the first time I cooked something and I made it just for you. It was a great experience cooking a special dish for someone special!"
Stay tuned to learn how I handled the situation...
