Yesterday, I let Andy and Justin have Egg nog (It was clean- dont worry!!) I thought they'd hate it like they hate everything else they eat or drink (Other than the beloved BP and J and Chicken McNuggets). I told them it tasted like a vanilla malt. Andy gagged a second at first, but then took another sip and said, "ooooh, I LOVE this...it tastes like Christmas, Mom!!" Justin said, "MMMmmm...dis is good." So they both had a second small cup. Ok.
The other day, me and Justin made some brownies. It was so much fun. We had them for a treat after they ate their supper. Andy took a bite and went off! "These are the BEST brownies ever! These tate better than the other ones we've ever had. I love these the best. If you like these mom, you can make them any time...because I LOVE them!" The best part, is that they are REALLY homemade. I am talking chop up the chocolate and melt it with the butter and add your own flour homemade too. It made it all worth it :)
We out some chopped up Andes mints in it and I told Andy that that must be the reason he like it so much! Justin heard me wrong and said, "We put Andy's pants in the brownies?" They all had a great chuckle over eating Andy's pants in the brownies and how gross it would be. Kids, I tell ya!
I have never made anything that anyone has flipped over like that before. I have made things that are good and everyone eats them and likes them...but never gotten THAT reaction before. Seriously- it felt so awesome and I had the little cooking ego boost that I needed :) (Ok...my uncle has flipped over things that I have made... I lied. He is more passionate about his food than anyone I know!!! He is like Emeril!!)
I just love this. He liked my brownies, AND egg nog- it tasted like Christmas. I hope they have memories of good food at Christmas forever :)
