Hi dear mylotters. So, neither ma nor I wanted to cook today despite the weather being so cool. We were just too lazy. She had her work to finish and I was watching some dramas.....binge watching to be exact. So, we decided to call the neighborhood food place who sells all kinds of snacks and street food like chat, chole bhatore, chowmein, dosa, etc. Thay sell sweets and samosas too. So, we ordered dosa (a south indian dish), curd and some sweets. They were very tasty. P. S.- Picture from my phone's camera.

Did you save any to share with all your myLot friends? Pretty and I didn't want to cook today, either. It's too hot here for us to feel like eating. I ate a bowl of watermelon. (I cut a bowl of watermelon for her to eat but she didn't want any... so a few hours later, I ate her bowl of watermelon. ) I hope you're having a good day.

@Anqaya Oh, thank you. I'm sure they will get here in a short while. We haven't been to a restaurant since the pandemic began. I'm getting really tired of cooking all the time. There aren't any Indian restaurants here, though. There may be in Springfield but that's 65 kilometers from me.

@DaddyEvil It's ok. You can visit after the pandemic ends. Although don't know when will that happen. We also don't eat out too often. But sometimes you know.

I'm sorry I ate all. But there's some sweets left. Blowing sweets in the air to you all.. I also do that. If they don't want their part I eat them. No wasting for me. But they call it non ladylike. Who cares though hehehe. Don't you eat in Indian restaurants?

@Anqaya Very rarely do I order food. For my birthday I went to get a takeout. Aside from that I make stuff at home.

Some days are that way. I go to my neighborhood Marukai store, that sells all sort of prepared foods from cooked rice to full blown lunches and get something to eat. We got sunny days with very light breezes now. Soon much more to muggy weather coming.

It's dosa. I don't know what they call it in the south. It's always the white roti like part of the dosa and the sambar. But inside that white thing, there are potato fillings.

@m_audrey6788 Thank you. The name is Dosa. It is a south Indian dish. I'm east indian btw. So it's a fusion between the original south version and the east version. Anyway I like the food altogether. But they add chillies. And I can't handle too many of them. So the sweets. And the white thing is curd. I think you know that.

It's called sambar. It's made of lentils and vegetables. It's the part which has many chilies though. So I usually can't eat too much. Hahaha you actually read the responses. That's great! I was binge watching The long ballad. It aired in march april in YouTube but back then I was studying for boards. Do you also watch Chinese dramas?

@porwest Actually, it should be the chinese food made in india. I once tried chinese in Kolkata from the restaurant mainland china and I didn't quite like it. So I guess, it's the mix of indian spices in chinese food that I love. And as for china, I never went their so no idea.
