It's Instant

I was sitting around my apartment tonight doing laundry (a shitload of it) and watching some season 3 of 30 Rock when I got the urge for a snack. I don't really have much snacky stuff around but I did find a box of pudding so I decided to make some chocolate pudding. You can't go wrong with pudding.

It's funny how the brain works. Or at least my brain. I haven't had pudding in a long time but when I made it all I could think about was my (now ex) wife. We'd make pudding sometimes. Just make up a box in one container, let it set, sort of draw a line down the middle of the container and each scoop at our side while we watched TV or a movie or whatever. Sometimes we'd finish off the whole box in one sitting. That's supposed to be 4 servings but what the hell do those serving size deciders know?

Anyway, it just isn't as fun eating pudding alone. Stupid pudding makes me miss her, my old apartment, NYC, my friends, even my shitty futon that was our couch for a long time. I guess that's not totally unusual, but it's annoying when I go without thinking about anything specific about her for awhile and then something as simple as skim milk, some chocolate flavored powder and a whisk gets the brain whirring away again.

On a positive note, the box says "Calci-YUM! A Good Source of Calcium as Prepared" so at least my bones will be in good shape.
