While I was doing the kitchen, I heard the calling bell. I was so immersed in cleaning that I didn't bother about it. After a few seconds another ring came through. I dropped the brumstick and then cleaned my hands with the near by newspaper and then eagerly opened the door. A guy was standing with the gas cylinder. I asked him to keep the cylinder in the kitched where we kept our dirty clothes bag before. He, then assembled the new Pigeon gas stove which was kept unused in the closet for more than a year. We were pretty excited about our first cooking experiment.
He fired the gas stove and the stove flamed with bright blue light. My nose smelled odor of gas and I turned around to find the exhaust fan switch (yeah.. I had to find it, since we never have to turn it before!) and turned it on, after few minutes it was better. I paid him 2550 rupees for the new gas connection and sighed him good bye.
We have already decided what to cook today. I shut down the gas burner and them marched to a new by shop for buying cooking stuffs. We got a new packet of atta for chapathi and once we reached home we realized, we did not have chapathi roller for preparing chapathi's :) We felt stupid, but we immediately changed our plan to Dosa. So I ran and got a packet of batter for Dosa.
The first one was a big flop, it didn't come out properly. I tried the second and to our suprise it was pretty good. We were encouraged by this good dosa and started the next one.. Finally we used all the batter and had a happy meal. We then discussed about tomorrow's lunch plan. Its a week end, so we have some time to kill and hence we planned for a big menu :)
And today's lunch was also good! Not good really, but better than what we thought!! After the good meal comes the tough part of cleaning it, but we have to sacrifice something to get something..
