Chocolate Pudding
heat 2 cups milk until just boiling
Only have 1 ¾ cups regular milk, wonder if a little buttermilk will work
haven’t had it since I don’t know when
when milk ready, pour in mix, remove from heat
stir constantly until thickened.
Mom put the pudding in small ramekins of which I have one
I put it in a big bowl
put plastic wrap on top to prevent a skin from forming
Mom never did that, neither do I
I eat a bit when it is still warm,
let it cool and put it in the fridge.
It’s cold now.
I break through the skin,
it’s as creamy as Mom’s.
I remember more chocolate.
