【Cooking Story】French Toast_Are you a meat floss pie or a condensed milk pie?

In the blink of an eye, Amber and I have known each other for 12 years, and we have gone through the high-pressure stage of entering high school together. Even though we were in different regions during college, we still worked hard to live each other’s lives seriously. It was not easy to meet each other after we left the society, but it was an indicator of each other’s original aspirations. .

The last time we met was two years ago, and this time I went north for no other reason, because he told me on the phone a few days ago, "My boyfriend and I broke up!" Thinking about why many people go through the marriage proposal stage successfully, but fail to make it to the other end of the red carpet.

The label of "perfect eldest daughter" was branded on her body

Anyone who knows Amber knows that he is a very conservative friend, please don't give too much negative comments about the word conservative. She is the eldest among the three siblings, and has a sense of responsibility that is even greater than others. She has been asked to be a role model for her younger brothers since she was a child. I believe that the adjectives sensible and well-behaved have never left her.

The image of the "perfect eldest daughter" can be seen in her body. Looking back now, she doesn't seem to be a good friend because of her thoughtfulness or dedication. In fact, it is the "label" that follows her as she grows up. , an adjective deeply engraved in her life course, let us also get used to her appearance.

French condensed milk toast full of hometown flavor

After renting an Airbnb daily apartment, I found that this was the first time I traveled with Amber, even in the city where she worked, but the experience of shopping together, cooking together, chatting together until falling asleep, etc. First time! Even though she happily told me that she felt very relaxed when she was with me, but I knew that she never had a moment of leisure, and she was still troubled by many problems in her mind!

I miss the French toast at Mingkui’s breakfast restaurant in Taitung, just because the French toast we have eaten so far is all with meat floss. Only people in Taitung are used to adding condensed milk. In order to be able to eat the hometown taste of thick milk and egg fragrance.

Amber likes to soak the toast in milk, then dip it in egg liquid, put it in a pan full of creamy aroma and fry it until golden brown, watching the small bubbles around the toast, and the smell of eggs coming out, as if experiencing During the ambiguous period, you need to wait more patiently. After the pot is poured with thick condensed milk, the sweetness of the love period suddenly fills my heart, "Yes! This is the taste!".

Issues and Conflicts in the Family of Origin

Listening to Amber's narration, I found that for Amber, to overcome and face the huge differences in the concepts and habits of each other's original family, he was exhausted. He used to think that as long as he loved each other, he could overcome everything. The key to the long-term is not the oath of the mountain alliance at that time or who loves each other more deeply, but to face the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea in daily life in the future.

mother-daughter tension

"My mother can't understand my decision," Amber said tearfully. At this moment, she is very tired, and the tiredness comes from her closest family members not agreeing with his decision. This is indeed the case. For the family women of my mother's era, the labels that cannot be removed from them may be "unmarried older women are made fun of", "I can't get married because your conditions are too high", etc. Many now feel that Absurd dogma, but in the process of socialization of their education, these are a matter of course, we should recognize that in the process of their upbringing, these social experiences have become such a strong mother, but they are also suppressed by these labels The mother who can't get through.

For Amber's mother, he could not accept that his daughter did not proceed according to her life script. For Amber, what he could not accept was that his mother disregarded his thoughts and feelings, only for the outdated society. values.

Even though the mother-daughter relationship is tense, I still think this is a good start. Both are in this conflict, slowly tearing off the label, slowly accepting each other's differences, and slowly accepting that each other's appearance in each other's mind has gradually changed.

French toast _ meat floss pie or condensed milk pie?

I only now know that Amber is very interested in baking, so she signed up for the culinary examination class. Looking back on the past, it seems that there is an organic way to follow.

For past relationships, maybe they can step on the brakes before they cause more harm to each other, and even if they take a different path than everyone imagined, they can still love everyone who loves them.

While condensed milk toast or French meat floss toast is the most suitable combination, the more important thing is to accept each other's differences, and show your true side under this understanding.
