When we planned to come to Delhi for an extended period of time I knew there would be at least a small issue between Broch and the food. But my opinion is that everything tastes better when it's cooked by somebody else, and as we have a cook, I was not about to complain. At one point Dave said, "You and Jaya can come up with some great dinners togther." I thought, "Like hell I'm setting foot in that kitchen when we've got a cook!" When Dave takes Jaya's food the work, the guys all tell him that it's really quite good. What I failed to pick up from Dave's description was that she basically makes the same thing every lunch and dinner. I'm not complaining. It is pretty good, but 4 meals so far and I'm a bit bored. OK, now I'm complaining. It is decent south Indian fare - freshly made roti (flat bread), dahl of some kind (think lentil soup) and some spicy vegetable mix. Now picture an American 8-year-old sitting down to that for 2 meals a day everyday. Hmmm. Good thing he's got some meat on his bones to begin with. I brought a few Kraft Mac & Cheese with us, but that requires milk and butter, the latter of which so far eludes me. And I brought peanut butter, so the kid is not going to starve. I'm just saying it's a challenge.

Hey, just realized tomorrow is Thanksgiving and not only do I not have to thaw/brine/stuff/bake a turkey, I don't even have an oven! Talk about simplicity. Lentils will do just fine I guess.
