Thank You, Crème Brûlée

Thank+You%2C+Cr%C3%A8me+Br%C3%BBl%C3%A9e

In the early days of November, as the leaves began to fall and the winter began to approach, I often found myself in a comfortable position: sitting on my pink cushion with a white fluffy blanket on me as I put a spoonful of crème brûlée into my mouth. It is a fancy treat that I make which would always remind me of the old-timey gathering I would have when my family would dress up and enjoy the holiday spirit together. 

Making the crème brûlée myself is like crafting a Shakespearean poem, with each of the ingredients coming together perfectly. The creamy rich custard with a hint of vanilla (and maybe some pumpkin spice from time to time) is the canvas for the flavors. But the best part? The sugary crust on top. Heated just right with my pink torch, it is like a crunchy, sweet surprise that makes the dessert shine under the night light. 

Eating the crème brûlée is a delightful experience. The cracking sound as I break into the crust is not only fun for the hand but also chimes for the ears. The soft custard underneath is smooth and sweet. Cracking the sugar shell is like finding a hidden treasure long lost in the world of sweets. 

I love the crème brûlée. It is like an old friend of mine. Whenever life gets tough, I can always turn to it and let it comfort and warm my heart. It is like having a warm, familiar hug from an old friend of mine. 

On one rainy night, I decided to hand-make the crème brûlée as a break from studying for my test the next morning. It was one of the best experiences I will ever have: cozy and satisfying. Listening to the raindrops outside as they played a symphony made the journey even more special. As I measured, stirred, and baked the dessert, the smell of vanilla filled my kitchen, packing all the empty spaces until it left no space for my worries. 

The next morning, I finally took a spoonful of the delicacy, and let myself indulge in the symphony of flavors. It served as my secret weapon as it not only filled my stomach for the day, it also packed my mind with energy. Licking the last bits of the crunchy crystalized sugar and the creamy custard, I stepped out my door and faced my challenge. 

Now, as it gets cold in the November breeze, I extend my gratitude to crème brûlée. It not only serve as a sweet and comforting dessert that brought a touch of elegance to my life, but it is also as a harbor for me whenever the waves get tough. Crème brûlée, you are the sweetest embrace of my winter months, and I love you dearly, for you are not only an ancient French dessert; you are a companion, a friend, and a mentor in my life’s journey of ups and downs.
