My tickets are booked, bags are packed and in two days, I would be flying off to home. This time, I have to be the responsible one by helping Mom in shopping, Dad in planning and my brother in whatever he needs from me. Here is the fun part about the wedding date. It’s on my birthday (no kidding)! You can’t see my face now, but I grin really wide every time I share the news. Indian weddings are always the big fat kind, where the celebration starts few weeks in advance. We eat a lot of sweets, we laugh non-stop and crack silly jokes in between gift-packing and assembling things. Everyone is dressed in traditional attire, with jewelry and makeup, enjoying, singing or shaking their hips to some latest Bollywood tunes. It gets pretty crazy especially when the cousins, uncle and aunties get together under one roof.
So if you don’t see me around for a next few weeks, you will know why! And since it’s a tradition to share good news with something sweet, I have this creamy comforting lemon pudding for you. I made this for us as an advanced anniversary treat. Very soon, we would complete 3 years and we will be blowing kisses to each other over the Skype. Sad, I know! I will miss him so much, but I am glad he would join the wedding fun, even if a little late.
I found the Lemon pudding recipe on Pinterest, which lead me to Jenn’s blog and a beautiful moment with her Grandma. It’s probably the yummiest lemon pudding we ever had. I needed to save it in my blog for future and I had to pass it on to you lovely foodies. It had a beautiful balance of tanginess and creaminess that can please any palate. I might bake the pudding once again, probably sometime next week, in my mom’s kitchen. I think they all would relish the bowl of sunshine as much as we both did.
