Sunday was awesome!!!!!!!

We did a little bit of work in the morning. But it is hard to be productive on Sundays in India because everything is closed and nobody is working at all. We went to Kanav’s apartment at 12:00 to make Pav Baji. The power was off when we got there but soon enough it turned back on and we could tart cooking. We chopped tomatoes, diced onions and peeled potatoes for about an hour. Haha after reading over this it sounds like we were being forced to work. In India cooking is an extremely social so we were all having a blast talking and laughing while we got the basics ready to cook.

After a while everything went into a pan where it was stirred and broken down into a tomato, onion, potato sauce. It had the consistency of slightly chunky mashed potatoes and tasted great!!!! So the Baji in Pav Baji refers to the saucy potato part and the Pav refers to buttered and toasted buns that you use to eat it. There were some other ingredients like ginger garlic paste, and some type of Pav Baji seasoning. Anyway, lunch was delicious.

While we were at Kanavs we also started to watch Cop Out it was really good but we eventually got distracted by music and more food. They have a copy on a computer that they said they could send us. Getting a hold of some movies would be great! I have finished all my books and am really in need of something to do at night. Life at Karigiri gets pretty dull once the sun goes down.

We hung out at kanav’s apartment with Sanjay, Shobaum, S.K, and Kanav all day. I think we finally made it back to Karigiri around bedtime.
