We have a large portion of the McKay side of the clan visiting us this week. Due to a dietary issue in the family, they had hired a nanny who cooks for them. They brought her with them to Tahoe where she has not only continued to cook for all of us but also clean up after the meals. Wow!!
Son Rob has actually banished me from the kitchen for the duration of their trip and after deciding against all my Southern upbringing, I could do that, I have left it to Coco. Oh we are eating well.
Even for meals that are not technically Chinese, her vegetables are brilliant with a flavor that is different to what I would prepare. For lunch today, she cooked veggies that we mixed for ourselves into a stir-fry: carrots, cabbage, onions, rice and left over pork shoulder. Yummy!! Like I said, I am spoiled.
Dean said to his son, "What will you do when she leaves?" I said, "What will we do when she leaves and we've only had her around for a week!!"
We will miss her when they leave and in the meantime, I will enjoy being spoiled and relish the delicious food laid before me and be grateful for Coco's arrival in our lives for a week.
