I ate pudding for the first time in many years

Tenia demasiado tiempo sin comprar ese pudin de cajita, creo que la última vez que lo comí aún vivía con mi madre y estaba pequeña… Nunca me animé a comprarlo porque pensé que era mas complicado de preparar, pero ya este es el segundo que preparo y realmente es bastante facil. Sin embargo probe dos marcas una mas costosa que la otra y me lleve una sorpresa cuando vi que una de ellas tenia mejor calidad que la otra, aun asi el sabor del pudin es bastante bueno, incluso me trajo recuerdos.

It had been way too long since I’d bought that boxed pudding; I think the last time I ate it, I was still living with my mom and was just a little girl… I never got around to buying it because I thought it would be harder to make, but this is actually the second time I’ve made it, and it really is pretty easy. However, I tried two brands—one more expensive than the other—and was surprised to find that one was better quality than the other. Even so, the pudding tastes pretty good; it even brought back some memories.

Estos dos los compre hace dos semanas y fueron bastante económicos, sin embargo solo he probado el de marca “Tigo” el otro no lo he probado y sinceramente no le tenia fe porque esa marca tiene productos que saben horribles pero este pudin costaba menos de $1 asi que era bastante accesible para mí y si sabia feo no iba a perder tanto dinero jaja, mi sorpresa fue que sabia bastante bien, pero era un sabor peculiar mas que a vainilla me sabia a tetero, no se explicar pero sabe a la leche que toman los bebes jajaja, estaba muy delicioso.

I bought these two two weeks ago, and they were pretty cheap; however, I’ve only tried the “Tigo” brand one—I haven’t tried the other one yet, and honestly, I didn’t have high hopes for it because that brand has products that taste awful. But this pudding cost less than $1, so it was pretty affordable for me, and if it did taste bad, I wouldn’t be losing that much money, haha. To my surprise, it tasted pretty good, but it had a peculiar flavor—rather than vanilla, it tasted like baby formula. I don’t know how to explain it, but it tastes like the milk babies drink, hahaha. It was really delicious.

Y luego quisimos tener uno de chocolate, realmente ese de mantecado lo compre de ese sabor por mi hijo, pero decidí comprar de chocolate sin embargo, optamos por otra marca porque con el chocolate si soy bastante delicada y ahí si siento que hay mas probabilidades de fallar, asi que fui por esta marca que es mas reconocida en mi país, de hecho, de esta marca eran los pudines que comía de niña. Costaba mucho mas caro $2 por una caja tan pequeña, aun asi decidí arriesgarme porque es una marca super conocida.

And then we wanted to try the chocolate one—I actually bought the buttercream-flavored one for my son—but I decided to get the chocolate one instead. However, we opted for a different brand because I’m pretty picky when it comes to chocolate, and I feel like there’s a higher chance of it not turning out right, so I went with this brand, which is better known in my country. In fact, the puddings I used to eat as a child were from this brand. It was much more expensive—$2 for such a small box—but I decided to take a chance anyway because it’s such a well-known brand.

Pero me decepciono bastante, no espesaba bien la mezcla y ya se me estaba quemando un poco, asi que decidí sacarla del fuego y ponerla en tazas, desde la mañana prepare ese pudin en la tarde aún seguía aguado, no se cuajo por completo y eso fue bastante frustrante, cabe destacar que seguí las instrucciones tal cual la caja asi que no sé qué pudo haber salido mal. Paso HORAS en la nevera y nunca termino de ponerse duro.

But I was pretty disappointed—the mixture wasn't thickening properly and it was already starting to burn a little, so I decided to take it off the heat and pour it into cups. I'd been preparing that pudding since the morning, and by the afternoon it was still runny; it didn't set completely, and that was pretty frustrating. It's worth noting that I followed the instructions on the box exactly, so I don't know what could have gone wrong. It’s been in the fridge for HOURS and it still hasn’t finished setting.

Y bueno, lo mezcle con galletas maría para que comerlo mejor, pero realmente quedo con la textura de un chocolate caliente espeso solo que esto estaba frio.

Well, I mixed it with Maria cookies to make it tastier, but it actually had the texture of thick hot chocolate—only this one was cold.
