My favorite thing to eat as a kid,
and still my favorite dessert of all
time, was custard and jelly, what
Americans would call Jell-O. One
Saturday my mom was planning for
a big family celebration and she
made a huge bowl of custard and
jelly and put it in the fridge. It had
every flavor: red, green, and
yellow. I couldn’t resist it. That
whole day, every time I walked past
the fridge I’d pop my head in with a
spoon and sneak a bite. This was a
giant bowl, meant to last for a week
for the whole family. I finished it in
one day by myself.
