Happy National Chocolate Pudding Day! Some of my fondest memories are of my grandmother making chocolate pudding and letting me clean out what was left in the pot. She made the best puddings. Actually, she was a fabulous cook. She could make anything taste great, even a mishmash of leftovers. I loved watching her and my mother cook. I think it’s why my sister and I love to cook and are relatively good cooks. My sister is still in the running in her group, and you can vote for her at https://favchef.com/2026/carmen-morfe. Apparently, the voting goes on for another round until only the top chef in each group will advance. So it seems that between now and July 9, you can vote, and then the top chef in each group advances for several rounds. Seems like a really long process. P.S. If you love romances with chefs, check out SOUTH BEACH LOVE, the novel that inspired a Hallmark Channel Original Movie. It’s specially priced at 99 cents at https://amzn.to/3QDyUSB. Or if you’re in the mood for something more spicy, how about a Jersey Shore romance with Chef Carlo? Grab your copy of NEVER A BRIDE at https://amzn.to/44pa2Bk.
