15th August four years ago my Mom passed away. She had cancer.
Every 15th August I remember my Mom in food. She loved to have me around to bake for her. She would bring home recipes for me to try just so she could taste test them.
This year I couldn’t decide on what to bake, so instead I went to Patisserie Valerie in Leeds and bought a slice of their double chocolate gauche cake.
I also stopped and bought a can of Coors Light as it was her favourite and after a lengthy discussion with a coworker a frozen pizza.
I sat down watching a TV show Mom would have probably enjoyed and had all three.
Every year it gets a little easier to cope with her loss. One day I may be able to get through the day without forgetting 15 things I should have done etc but until then I’ll remember her in a very apt way.
