So today was my Momma's birthday. We ate lunch at Granny Di's and it was awesome as usual. We had cubed steak, cream corn, a special recipe of macaroni and cheese, baked beans, okra, rolls, dressing and turkey gravy, tomatoes and cantaloupe. Then we had a cake for Mom and I made the Cake Batter Truffles that Hannah mentioned in her last blog. (
see it here) The chocolate didn't melt like I wanted and the cake batter balls didn't hug the chocolate as well as I'd hoped, so they weren't very attractive. But they tasted delicious! I tripled the recipe that the original blog called for and melted milk chocolate chips in one pan and white chocolate chips in another. So I had white chocolate cake batter truffles and milk chocolate cake batter truffles. And then just for fun I did some of them half and half. :) I took them all to our family lunch today.
Sometimes I'll be talking to Greenleigh or singing a song with Skyler when it will hit me- I sound
just like my mom! At times it's in the way I enunciate certain words, and at other times it's the phrases that I use. I would have sworn otherwise 5 or 6 years ago, but in the end, there are worse things I could've turned out to be. We may not always see eye to eye, but my mom is my mom, and I love her. Quite a lot.
This is mi madre and me. My eyes are the exact hazel as my daddy's, but when I wear my blue contacts, it's unnerving sometimes how much I look like my mother. Do you think we look alike?
