第51章 母亲的爱之味 (2)

字体:16+-

erhaps you can relate. I wanted to be the best mom in the world with a homemade snack and some health food all rolled up into one great afternoon treat. Again my attempt to sneak more nutrition into their meals was foiled. The tofu I had added to their tacos one time was a bomb. The seitan mashed soy bean curd I had cooked and tried to present as chicken was a culinary calamity. And although I had experienced moderate success with spinach brownies, it was clear I blew it again!

While the taste of that nasty concoction will hopefully fade from my son’s mind one day, I do hope he does remember one thing. His mom tried. God bless her soul, she tried. She didn’t hit the mark with everything she made but she did have a yummy kind of love for her family. She didn’t always make the best stuff in the world but she had a good recipe for life. She never forgot the secret ingredient of sweet love. It was never omitted.

Perhaps when he gets older, recalling all the food disasters, Nathaniel will be able to reflect upon our life as a family and see the deliciousness in it all. And simply smile remembering the taste of love only a mother can give.

恼人的疼痛纠缠了我几个月后,一个朋友提议让我尝试一下维生素和一些有机的、未提炼的油类产品,以促进我身体健康的全面恢复。

我正对尽快恢复求之不得,所以毫不犹豫地接受了朋友的建议。然后,当我试用这些补品以后,头疼减少了,精力更旺盛,这令我十分满意。看来是这些补品发挥了作用。在需要购买补品之前,我每天都按时服用五粒胶囊。

我查看商品的邮购目录,找到自己要订购的东西。然后,我又往下看,看到任何一位好母亲都不会错过的产品。我发现我一直服用的油类补药还有儿童系列。我认认真真地看了一下说明书,然后毫不犹豫地签了订单。

我很快就收到了订购的商品。那会儿,我的大儿子和二儿子还没放学。我先是把刚出炉的果仁巧克力蛋糕放在厨房的案子上凉着,然后满怀兴奋地等待儿子们回家。看着漂亮的小瓶子——里面是为孩子买的特殊商品,我感到很高兴,并且会心地笑了起来。瓶子上的图案是可爱的丛林小动物,大大的粗体字进一步突出了这种产品拥有绝妙的奶油糖果香味。一个非常醒目的标题告诉我们:把它放在甜点上味道会更加美妙!这时,一个想法在我的心里突然闪现。
