She was in pigtails and merely 9 years old running to the fridge that Sunday afternoon with a one track mind. Still dressed in her Morning church outfit she didn't think twice to change but wanted that Caramel Custard so bad. The night before she went to bed, she was in a Wendy nightgown and watched her mother create the wonderful yummy Caramel Custard that she loved so dearly. She went to bed in excitement and the next day after church she ran towards the fridge to get a bite of that custard she's been craving all night long.
As she was running towards the fridge she was picked up by her father who told her she had to eat lunch before having any desert. She ate her lunch as fast as she could(something she would often do if Caramel custard was the desert) and when she grabbed her spoon to eat the custard her older brother grabbed the custard away to tease her. As soon as she grabbed the custard and even though her brother ate half of the custard, she took one gulp of the custard and sat there in amazement and in pure satisfaction.
As the years went by she would forget about that jolly feeling of the Caramel Custard she would eat as a child in India and even wondered till recently if she'll get that "pure satisfaction" again, well she did. As she created the Caramel Custard and let her little cousins(ages 3&5) take the first bite out of the custard she saw the twinkle in their eye that was once in her eyes when she ate the Custard...oh the Joys of being a Child.
