Lara. Pinakbet & Prunes.

Yesterday, I was a friend in need. Now, I'm an elated friend indeed. Oh Lara! I will sing her praises forever. Just when you think all humankind has gone down the proverbial toilet, you are struck with a random act of kindness.




I was in quite a pinch yesterday. I had a cooking class at Central Market and my dear Lola was going to be all alone for around 5 hours. She needed her dinner and breathing treatment. Foti was at work and I was pressed for time.




Luckily, Lara was able to come to the rescue. She came by for a bit to warm my Lola's dinner, pinakbet(a filipino dish with lima beans, eggplant, fish sauce and various other veggies) and of course, her famous crushed prunes. My Lola sang her praises when I got home from teaching. At her age, she's very particular. I like to think at 95 she's an excellent judge of character. She was tickled pink to have such great company =) I couldn't be pleased more myself. What a friend!





Who else can say they know someone that is willing to come by and spend a little time with their grandma while they're at work? I feel so blesses and most importantly, so does Lola!

Thanks Again Lara!!! Kudos to you for having such a big heart!
