The person who is always on my back to support me is my wife. We met in college and I was kinda attracted to her by her personality. She was optimistic and even now she is happy about everything and every day, no matter how difficult the problem seems to be, she can always make it perfect.
She is good at cooking, especially the dessert. Her father was a dessert chef and the apple does not fall far from its tree. She loved cooking dessert just like the father. When we were in college, she could make different desserts for me every week. And every dessert she made for me was a surprise.
I have always felt like I am the luckiest person in the whole world. There was nothing like the Cast Iron Maple Golden Acorn Squash Pie though, This was my all time favorite.
Well cut the squash
This custom pie has witnessed our love from the beginning to now. To date, we still make it every week no matter how busy we are. When I am happy, the pie is to celebrate the happiness;
When I am sad, the pie is also there to comfort me. I don’t know how his father invented the delicious Maple Golden Acorn Squash Pie. I always jokingly said that the main ingredient of the pie was love, and I can attest to the way her mother also enjoyed the pie. The ambiance is always not the same when we are having the pie.
