Rocio Rocks!

Rocio, our once-a-week housekeeper and babysitter, has turned out to be quite a gem. Not only do the kids love her, but Sue notices how nice the house looks, and she can cook!

Margarita was sick today, so Rocio was here to take care of the house. Once she got here in the morning, she asked if she could cook me breakfast, and I refused as I had just returned from buying some tamales after getting Laurel to school (Bryce is still sick and stayed home today).

Not to be deterred, she took a leftover tomato soup that Margarita made, and turned it into something spectacular. She added a bunch of things including chicken, spaghetti noodles, and made a side of avocado pico de gallo to put on top. With a squeeze of lime as she suggested, it was delicious! Bryce even had some, as it was his first real food in two days. Rocio is like the Iron Chef of San Miguel.

Now I'm a little mad at myself that I turned down her offer to make me breakfast.
