Salad And Bread Pudding
This is Fruitycake. If there is one thing that Girl Person doesn’t know about, it’s balance. Being a bit of an accident waiting to happen is an understatement.
She can fall with her feet glued to the ground. She can fall any time, any where. Then, put her on a slippery path on top of a mountain and just wait. It’s only a matter of time.
Boy Person may be a little better, but not much. This weekend, he was cutting a dead tree to get wood to keep us warm and it fell the wrong way. Or he was standing in the wrong place. I guess it’s a matter of perspective. But his knee didn’t care about opinions.
However, mixed in with all the accidents and injuries and hardships are salad and bread pudding.
Ahhh, the food here in this Italy place is the best food in the world. Everything is fresh, no chemicals and perfectly balanced. They take pride in cooking and making food.
And when Girl Person makes me a salad to go with my pizza, I love it. And dessert? Yes. Sometimes I get dessert. If you have a salad, obviously you can have dessert.
This weekend she made me bread pudding. You know how much I love bread. Bread oh bread. What a friend. Pizza and focaccia and bread pudding are a trio unmatched. The Fruity food pyramid is no joke.
If you’ve never had bread pudding you are missing out and I highly recommend it. Bread that is baked with different things like honey for me and cinnamon and eggies. Oh, it’s wonderful. And after a salad, it tastes like I balance out my whole life.
Do you yearn for balance like my persons?
It sure is hard to find it, especially when you are going thru difficult or stressful times. Sometimes you have to balance the work with rest.
And sometimes you have to step back to get your balance and take a break from the problem. Perspective is needed sometimes like that tree. And you can’t find balance when you’re being hit with a tree.
Salad and bread pudding is a lesson for all. Work is good and healthy. But sometimes you need the sweet stuff. You need to be reminded you’re more than work and more than your hardships.
Just like soft, bread pudding, be kind to yourself today. You’re a gushy, love filled dessert.
