My brother-in-law loves rice pudding. My sister used to make it for him frequently, but, as cooking for husband’s tends to be, it never matched his childhood memories.
One evening, driving home from dinner at my Mum’s house he said to my sister, “Now, THAT was nice rice pudding. Why don’t you ask your Mum for her recipe?” My poor sister replied in exasperation, “That IS the recipe I make!!”
Hopefully your loved ones will appreciate your efforts more than he did.
