My vintage kitchen : Ambrosia

You know when you craving to eat something sweet, but quite sweet? And if have childhood taste, even better?

It was exactly what happened to me yesterday. I opened the refrigerator and throw some eggs ; in half an hour I had my dessert ready to be devoured.

Ambrosia was the favorite my grandfather's dessert. I also learned to appreciate, with all its sweetness as my grandfather had.

     A delight for all those that bring you very good remembrances.
