SUNDAY SUPPER RICE PUDDING.....OH HOW SWEET

 

Sometimes we remember the past and......

we just need a hug

 

Sunday nights growing up, he remembers very fondly the evenings there would be his Mother's chocolate muffins for dinner. They were hot from the oven and served with cheddar cheese and strawberry jam. Strange combination, indeed, but what sweet memories that has made for him.

 

She remembers her Sunday nights as a child, when her Mother's apple dumplings were served for dinner. That buttery cinnamon syrup bathed each dumpling in the big baking pan. The aroma of nutmeg came from the kitchen and stayed with us into the night. Daddy ate his with milk. I can still visualize the image. These sweet memories belong to me.
