Unknown Papi: You shouldn’t be doing that right now.
Unknown Mami: Doing what?
Unknown Papi: Making that.
Unknown Mami: Why?
Unknown Papi: Because you’re sick and don’t feel well. You should be resting.
But Rocky Road is exactly what I needed to be making. I have been feeling horrible the last few days with a cold that is kicking my butt and then my spirits took a beating when I found out my brother is up to his old B.S. All day I felt horrible and had to take care of two kids that aren’t feeling so great themselves. When Unknown Papi came home, I took some Tahitian vanilla marshmallows that a friend had brought us, some left over chocolate chips, and some pecans and made Rocky Road. Suddenly the day wasn’t half bad.
I wrote about some fun Latin American New Year’s traditions at CafeMom. Some you might want to incorporate into your life, others will just make you laugh.
Wishing you a very Happy New Year!
And now your Friday Fortune Cookie
(don’t forget to add “in bed” at the end, if you are so inclined):
One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: To rise above the little things. – John Burroughs

Rocky road is always a good idea. Happy New Year, Mami! And I hope you are feeling better very soon.
unknownmami says
I ended up having Rocky Road for breakfast with a cup of coffee. Of course, I hid from my kids while I did it. It’s really good.
Mary says
Why is it that adding “in bed” after the fortune makes it sooo funny? 😀
Happy New Year!

I love food when sad…it is a reason why when people ask me if that am in shape. I tell them sure, I am in shape, round.
