Yesterday we met the woman who will come in and cook for us. Her name is Anita and for 1,000 rupes each for the month she will come to our flat and cook whatever vegetables we buy. She’ll also make bread and chai and more. Tonight will be our first meal cooked by her.
Anita took stock of what we already had in the kitchen (5 Kgs of rice, flour and lentils) and suggested a list. After she left we walked to the grocery store and bought the spices and something called “jaggery” and after class this morning bought the fresh veggies from the guy who has the veggie cart just down the road.
Right before Anita left she indicated that she scraps from cooking she would like to take home for her goat (indicating “goat” by bleating)!
