Chicken Soup with Rice

Saturday setback

Well, maybe going to work yesterday wasn't a good idea. Night sweats and some knee joint pain last night didn't make for a great morning. But I am truly lucky to have such great friends and a great building. Manuel, my doorman, stopped by on his day off to deliver a third neighborhood version of chicken soup (fourth if including my own purchase of matzo ball soup from Zabars). This version was a nice, spicy combo with rice and celantro undertones. I opened the foil package expecting bread and was pleasantly surprised with two delish tamales! I was so happy. I'm so lucky to have such wonderful folks looking after me.
