We relaxed this morning and went in the evening with mom to get some shopping done. I know i've talked quite a bit about going shopping, this includes everything from groceries to knick knacks...so everyday we do a little bit of shopping since most things are fresh and used straightaway. Back in the day (when i was growing up) we didn't have refrigerators, so our meals consisted of what the local vendors would sell. Any non-veg. was sa special treat and only made when we had company. A regular meal was rice or chappathi and whatever veggies the vendor had and maybe dhal. Simple but yummy!
By the time we were done, it was pretty late and we'd have to go back and make dinner, so it'd be really late by the time we actually ate. I saw a Dominoes nearby and suggested we chow there. The kids were excited and Dad prefers tha to KFC...so we sent the men and the kids ahead while mom and i made one more stop.
I was really looking forward to dinner. When we caught up with the rest of them, we found that they didn't order dinner after all, just a couple appetizers which they chowed down before we got there. Men! Can't depend on them to do anything. Well, that's not true, but we felt like that when we walked in to the restaurant. So, I ordered and we had to wait a while to eat...grrrr (i'm not angry, it's just my stomach growling). Fortunately, the restaurant had a couple tele's on, one playing a cricket game, which was the favored show, and the other had random bits of trivia playing...kind of like when you're in a theatre waiting for the movie to start. It entertained us long enough and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner.
After that (and my favorite part of the day), we went downstairs and bought icecream cones for everyone at KFC. They're only Rs.10/piece and yeah, they don't fill the cone part, but for a less than a quarter, we're getting a decent amount of really good icecream, it's not ice milk either. You can't beat that. We might make this a regular thing one warm nights, that and we only have a few more days here, so better make good use of this deal.
