Just Desserts
My Grandmother's birthday is March 12, she left us years ago, and I thought I'd pay tribute to one of the many desserts she made that I loved. One of my fondest memories growing up was visiting my Grandmother, she would always whip up my favorite dessert back then, tapioca pudding. When she didn't have time to soak the tapioca she made the Minute Tapioca, topped with her homemade whipped cream. She knew I loved tapioca and made sure to make it whenever my mother and I visited her.

Daren still loves Andrea, and sees their new living arrangement as his opportunity to make things right. Once home he takes off his suit and puts on his work clothes, and gets busy re-building his reputation and his ex-wife’s home office.
