Chocolate Caliente con Quesitos
Historia
It was one de those breezy Caribbean mornings, the kind where the coquí frogs finally go quiet y the sun peeks through the window just right. Don Luis, wearing his trusty jean-y-leather apron, was already up, humming an old salsa tune. He reached para the pot y started heating leche slowly, the same way his *abuelita* taught him back in the day. Just then, his youngest grandson tiptoed in con bedhead y big eyes. “Abuelo… is today a chocolate day?” Don Luis chuckled. “Mijo, every day can be a chocolate day if you start it right.” con a wink, he reached into the fridge y pulled out fresco *quesitos*—flaky pastries filled con cream queso. “Vamos,” he said. “Let’s sweeten this morning con tradition.” 💙
