Memories come back to you in a most sudden and strange ways. A smell, a sound, a sight, a touch, a taste.
I felt a little bit under the weather. I needed to eat, but didn’t know what to have. Suddenly the taste of my mother’s favorite breakfast came to my senses: her pork rib porridge.
My mother loved good and simple foods.
She was a quiet, witty, charming, and strong lady. Very strong, indeed.
I know that her porridge will nourish me back to my normal self.
I love it for Its sweetness and nuttiness.
I love it because it takes me back to my childhood.
But most of all, I love it because it brings back the memories of my mother.
I love her and miss her so.
