搖響青春的風鈴(英文愛藏雙語係列)

第51章 母親的愛之味 (2)

字體: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.

惱人的疼痛糾纏了我幾個月後,一個朋友提議讓我嚐試一下維生素和一些有機的、未提煉的油類產品,以促進我身體健康的全麵恢複。

我正對盡快恢複求之不得,所以毫不猶豫地接受了朋友的建議。然後,當我試用這些補品以後,頭疼減少了,精力更旺盛,這令我十分滿意。看來是這些補品發揮了作用。在需要購買補品之前,我每天都按時服用五粒膠囊。

我查看商品的郵購目錄,找到自己要訂購的東西。然後,我又往下看,看到任何一位好母親都不會錯過的產品。我發現我一直服用的油類補藥還有兒童係列。我認認真真地看了一下說明書,然後毫不猶豫地簽了訂單。

我很快就收到了訂購的商品。那會兒,我的大兒子和二兒子還沒放學。我先是把剛出爐的果仁巧克力蛋糕放在廚房的案子上涼著,然後滿懷興奮地等待兒子們回家。看著漂亮的小瓶子——裏麵是為孩子買的特殊商品,我感到很高興,並且會心地笑了起來。瓶子上的圖案是可愛的叢林小動物,大大的粗體字進一步突出了這種產品擁有絕妙的奶油糖果香味。一個非常醒目的標題告訴我們:把它放在甜點上味道會更加美妙!這時,一個想法在我的心裏突然閃現。
