Comida Typical

We hosted four couples in our home last night, two stake presidents and their wives and Presidente's two counselor's and their wives.  My wonderful housekeeper made the meal.  I asked her to make a "comida typical" which included tons of white rice, a green salad, baked chicken, beans flavored with al kinds of things including pumpkin and a potato salad that included raisins, carrots and eggs.

My housekeeper is named Milagra and she is truly a miracle.  She is happy, fun and we get along great.  She rattles on and on in her Dominican Spanish and I catch about half of it.  We went to the store together to buy the food for this meal and got totally lost.  Finally we pulled out the GPS and siri kept telling us to go down one way streets.  We laughed and laughed.

We will host stake presidents for the next two weeks so I can send photos of them.  When they talk to us they speak slowly and we can understand.  When they talk to each other, it's like they have switched languages.
