Our ward boundaries changed. This means that approximately 18 houses in my neighborhood (of which one is mine) are now in another ward. Same building, same gospel, same truth. Different time, different faces, just plain different.
I don't like change. Wait, let me rephrase that. I don't like change that I can't control.
Since I can't control it, I've just got to learn to adjust, right? Or I can just sit on my couch, pout, feel like my comfort zone was dissected and rezoned by imminent domain, and eat chocolate pudding.
Homemade Chocolate Pudding
3/4 cup sugar1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups milk
3 egg yolks, well beaten
2 oz baking chocolate, chopped (the darker, the better!)
1 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
- Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium saucepan.
- Gradually stir in milk and egg yolks over medium heat.
- Once combined, add baking chocolate.
- Stir until mixture thickens and boils. Allow to boil (while stirring) one minute longer, then remove from heat.
- Add butter and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
- To serve warm (my preferred method): Immediately spoon into dessert cups.
- To serve chilled (my preferred breakfast the next morning): Cover pan with plastic wrap, making sure the entire surface of the pudding is in contact, and set in fridge for at least three hours. Scoop out desired amount. Pudding will be firmer.

Well, that recipe should certainly help you feel better!
I have the opposite problem & love change. I crave variety & get bored with the same routine. Holding a calling for longer than a year is hard for me & continually have to coach myself through sticking with it.
You are such a fun warm person maybe there is someone in the new ward that needs a friend like you.
I LOVE me some home made pudding.
That stucks about the ward. I would be bummed too. Maybe look at it as a chance to make lots of new friends- after you have a good pout of course.
That's me too! I HATE change that I have no control over. BLAH!
You are so right in that no one likes change but I don't know many people who don't like chocolate pudding. That is one of my best comfort foods. Hope you have a fabulous weekend.
Anything chocolate is OK by me!!!
I never understood that policy about your church. It seems to create more problems than it solves and I have A LOT of Mormon friends who have complained about it.
Thank you thank you thank you!
