#9 Puddings

[biffybobs]

Sunday had a wonderful time at Reggie's: pestering the cat, wrecking the living room, and hearing all about the daft things her ancestors got up to in generations past.

As the longest lived Bakewell, Great Great Grandpa is in charge of writing the Official Family History. I wish that was a real thing but the closest we have is a keepsake box that ruins your photographs so we're just going to pretend 🙃

National Rice Pudding Day

All we can think of is a bowl of some good old rice pudding this National Rice Pudding Day taking place on August 9. For many of us, starting from our childhood to our adulthood, rice pudding has been a staple in our diets. Made with a base of rice cooked in milk and sweetened with sugar, syrup, or honey, rice pudding can be found in many cultures and cuisines all over the world. Of course, each region has its own unique take on the dish. Some add nuts and spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, or cardamom to it, while others throw in a dash of wine to give it that wow factor. For a more fragrant look and feel, many people in the Middle East also add pistachio slivers and rose petals before serving it. You can have it hot or cold, and as a breakfast dish or a dessert after dinner. So, how are you having your rice pudding on August 9?

History of National Rice Pudding Day

National Rice Pudding Day celebrates the ancient rice pudding dish in all its glory and greatness. While we may know the sweet version of the dish today, did you know that it actually started out as a savory treat? It is difficult to pinpoint the exact location and time of the creation of rice pudding, but many scholars believe it may have originated in either ancient China or in ancient India. Both these countries have a long history of including rice as well as sugar in their religious and cultural activities, so it only makes sense that the combination of the two may have been included in their cuisines as well. ‘Kheer,’ which is Hindi for rice pudding, was first recorded in ancient India in 6000 B.C., and it was included as a staple in a prescribed Ayurvedic diet regime. It is also interesting to note that the early versions of the Indian rice pudding did not actually include rice or sugar. In place of rice, Indians made use of the cereal grain known as sorghum.

Elsewhere in the world, rice pudding was being made with rice. The grain had reached Europe through exports delivered by water or the Silk Road in the 1300s. Because it was being exported from Asia and was not being grown in Europe, rice automatically became extremely expensive. Thus, rice pudding could only be enjoyed by the elite and royalty of European countries. Before the 1500s, rice pudding was savory in nature. It was made with rice being boiled in a broth with saffron and almond milk. Chefs started including sugar into the dish to make it sweet, and soon a sweetened rice pudding started gaining popularity. It was in the eighteenth century that rice pudding became more commonplace and less expensive, all thanks to globalization. The lowered rice prices meant the grain was in easier reach of the masses, and in today’s world, it is considered to be a cheap, but filling meal.

TK wasn’t sure why it bothered him so. He knew it shouldn’t be such a big deal—clearly Paul had already gotten over it—but TK hadn’t been able to stop thinking about it since it happened. He couldn’t even really pinpoint exactly why he was so bothered; he just was.

Of course, Nancy’s constant teasing all afternoon hadn’t exactly helped, since he hadn’t been able to put it out of his mind.

Which meant he was still feeling bothered when his fiancé finally got home from patrol.

“Hey, babe,” Carlos greeted casually, sliding the front door closed behind him nonchalantly as if absolutely nothing had happened back at the station.

TK couldn’t believe the audacity!

“Really?!” he asked, appalled. “You’re just gonna ‘hey, babe’ me?”

“Uh...yeah?” Carlos replied, sounding somewhat confused as he walked across the living room. Reaching his fiancé’s side, he attempted to give TK a hello kiss, but TK managed to duck his head away, extremely agitated that Carlos just assumed a kiss would make it all better.

Carlos frowned in concern at his fiancé’s avoidance, taking a step back but keeping his hand upon TK’s neck as he looked inquiringly at him. “Babe, what’s wrong?”

TK rolled his eyes, grumbling, “You know exactly what’s wrong.”

Of course, TK himself wasn’t exactly clear on his own feelings, which is why he’d decided to be evasive in his response.

But Carlos was not pleased. He gave a frustrated sigh, dropping TK’s hand and taking a step back as he pointed out, “I thought we agreed we weren’t going to do that, Tyler.” No doubt noticing the bewildered look on TK’s face, he clarified, ”We agreed—no guessing games. If there’s a problem, we talk about it directly.”

Carlos was right—they had agreed never to play the “you should know why I’m upset” game.

But his scolding tone just irritated TK even more.

“Fine,” TK snapped, more than willing to be blunt about this. “I can’t believe I’m marrying a thief.”

The expression on Carlos’s face slowly morphed from surprise...to puzzlement...to comprehension...

to hysterical laughter!

“The pudding?” he asked incredulously between boisterous laughs.

TK was exasperated with his reaction.

“YES, the pudding. You STOLE it!” he accused, his voice cracking like an adolescent at his Bar Mitzvah.

Which only seemed to amuse Carlos more.

“Seriously, babe? You’re upset over a stupid pudding?”

“It wasn’t just ANY stupid pudding, Carlos—it was PAUL’S!” TK argued. “And you KNEW it was Paul’s, yet you ate it anyway.”

“Yeah,” Carlos admitted with a smirk, clearly still not feeling any remorse. “’Cuz it wasn’t a big deal—it was just a pudding.” He shrugged, commenting, “Don’t worry—I’ll make sure to buy him another.”

“That’s not the point!” TK insisted, his voice cracking once again.

Carlos chuckled, “So what IS the point?”

TK wasn’t really sure, and this conversation wasn’t exactly clarifying things for him.

So he simply repeated, ”You stole.”

“Yeah,” Carlos nodded. “We’ve already established that.”

Why was he acting so freaking laid-back and unashamed?

This was so not the Carlos he knew.

“I never expected you would do something like that,” TK asserted.

“O...kay,” Carlos stated slowly, as if contemplating TK’s every word.

“So I...I defended you!”

As he said it, TK wondered if perhaps that’s why this was so bothersome. He’d instantly come to Carlos’s defense earlier, never even considering that his fiancé was capable of committing such a crime. After all, Carlos was a good cop—he arrested petty thieves, he wasn’t one himself. Obviously, therefore, Paul’s accusation must have been wrong.

Which was why TK had been so shocked when it was right!

After TK had put his own honor and reputation on the line by defending him!

“So that’s why you’re upset?” Carlos asked, raising his eyebrows. “Because you defended me in front of your friends?”

That’s certainly what Nancy had teased TK about, how Paul seemed to know the real Carlos better than him!

But no, TK realized that WASN’T exactly what was bothering him.

“Yes...no...I don’t know!” TK stammered, flustered over the entire thing. “I just...I thought you were...one of the good guys. Someone who’s honest. Decent. Law-abiding. Not some sort of...“

“Bad boy?” Carlos finished the sentence with a teasing smirk, sending a thrill of excitement down TK’s spine.

But TK fought it off, clutching instead to his anger as he desperately tried to make a point. “Yes! Don’t you see?! *I*’m supposed to be the screw-up! The hot mess! The one who causes all the problems! And if I can’t rely on YOU to be the responsible one...”

He trailed off, realizing how stupid he sounded. But he couldn’t help it! Here was the man he going to be marrying soon—who he was going to spend the rest of his life with—and TK suddenly felt like he didn’t even know him anymore. Carlos apparently wasn’t quite the flawless person he’d always appeared and, like Paul, TK now felt betrayed! Deceived! A victim of larceny!

Because Carlos hadn’t just stolen Paul’s pudding cup.

He’d stolen TK’s heart as well.

Under false pretenses!

So how was this relationship going to work if Carlos was flawed? If he, too, was capable of making bad choices? Was getting married a bad choice? Should they not be together? Now everything seemed wrong and upside down. TK didn’t even know what to think anymore.

Carlos stepped forward, sliding his hands around TK’s waist, a sly grin on his face as he playfully inquired, “Are you saying you don’t want me to be a bad boy?” Before TK could answer, Carlos pulled his fiancé tight against him before whispering sexily into his ear, “Because I think you do.”

TK felt flustered, his breath having caught at the sudden movement, and his brain was now having trouble functioning with his fiancé ’s hot body pressed against his.

Maybe TK had been wrong. Maybe THIS had been the true source of why he’d felt so bothered all afternoon.

Or more like hot and bothered.

Because the idea of Carlos being a bad boy was thrilling, something he couldn’t stop thinking about.

Sure, Carlos looked respectable and disciplined in his cop uniform...but that just made the whole bad boy thing even hotter.

Especially the image of bad boy Carlos slowly licking that delicious pudding...

TK had never imagined he could be so jealous of a spoon!

Carlos could clearly tell he had thoroughly conquered his fiancé for his eyes twinkled merrily as he taunted, “And do you know what this bad boy would like to do to you right now?”

Another thrill went down TK’s spine as his mind was filled with a zillion different scenarios, each sexier than the last.

But after the bothersome day he’d just spent, TK prayed that—whatever bad boy Carlos had in mind for the two of them tonight—hopefully it would involve pudding!

...

THE END
