Just Desserts!!!

Submitted by hatsrus on April 18, 2007 - 1:19pm. Food | fruit | sun protection | ultraviolet | uv

There is something quite wonderful about puddings, desserts, sweets, afters call them what you will. Even the simplest dessert feels special in a way that no main course ever does.

Is it because desserts take us back to childhood? Rice pudding always makes me think of my grandmother because she always made it for us when we were small. Fruit pies and crumbles make me think of my mum, when we were young we lived in the country in a house with a huge garden filled with fruit trees and my mum made pies, crumbles and jam from the fruit.

So my question to you is:
what is your favourite dessert (pudding) and why?

Ooooooo, Hats, this is so bad of you!

I was doing so good at staying away from sweets today and now you bring desserts up. My stomach is rumbling and my mouth is watering remembering the bread pudding that my grandmother used to make in the winter. It was so warm and comforting when we'd come in wet and cold from playing outside. And my mother's cherry pies - I can almost taste that. Just the right combination of sweet and tart.

Shoot! Now I'm going to have to go home and fight the urge to make a cherry pie. I bet I lose that fight, too. This post brought up too many sweet memories - of food and of people.

A Spanish Flan Hatsrus is

An egg concoction it's hard to describe, it has caramel melted at the bottom and you flip it over prior to serving it, it's sort of a somewhat firm pudding. It is lighter then pudding and very smooth texture. I will get the recipe from work for you if you like.

And I want more,...

because, once someone has had that first blast of wonderful chocolate, it just never seems to be enough.

Catfish, I found that to have a little choc, when I first want

Submitted by hatsrus on April 20, 2007 - 12:06am.

it, is better than denying myself for ages and then eating a whole bar because the urge for choc has become an over-whelming need. 1 little square allowed to melt in the mouth seems to satisfy the want.

You're a better man than me, Hats...

Submitted by Catfish on April 20, 2007 - 10:23am.

because one little piece only makes me crave lots more. I have certain numbers and amounts, kind of low, that might do it for me, but each time is so much different.

If I have a little piece of chocolate when I very first fancy

Submitted by hatsrus on April 29, 2007 - 6:47am.

it, so that the fancy doesn't grow into first a want, then a need, then a must have. If, however, I deny the fancy then a little piece is just not enough.

I had someone else tell me that,...

about themselves, and so I tried it. What I found was that it just made me crave either more of that, or want to go for something more inexpensive. There just is no cure for Reese's peanut butter cups, after all.

you can smell the calories in it, and put on pounds just from the aroma.
