Our young cook, that is. Last weekend, we went to Shimla and he took the long journey to visit his family. We returned; he didn't.
So, we don't really know who our new cook is, but every day our dinner arrives in this blue, insulated container!
What a great service. I don't know if anyone in Canada has opened a business like this.
The food is kept quite warm and is real "home food," not fast food.
We do get teased about our early dinner hour--usually 6:30 or 7:00 pm. People in India generally eat after 9:00 pm.
Later in the evening, a young man comes by to pick up the container and off he goes on his bicycle.
This system is working quite well for us. We have always made our own breakfast and we are not often at home for lunch. So, the "virtual cook" concept is a workable one.
This is tonight's meal -
A pakora-like dish in a sauce,
Rice, of course,
A bean dish,
And our favourite, roti!
There is always a small bag of fresh cucumber pieces as well.
Very tasty!
We have a good kitchen and could cook for ourselves, but I, for one, enjoy having dinner prepared by someone else.
Adam and Kathryn made us pasta the first night we were cookless, and that was a nice treat.
This is our propane cooktop.
We have a small fridge and microwave.
There is a unit for filtered water and two large sinks.
So, here we are sitting down for tonight's feast.
We seem to spend a lot of time thinking and talking about food!
