Today Raj, his wife Niti, their daughter Xenia and Raj's mother showed up at my flat after work with a surprise; Lata! Lata is my new housekeeper and cook.
For 5000INR / month ($111.00) Lata will come in the morning to cook me breakfast and iron my clothes before work. She will then continue on to clean the flat, do all the laundry and additional ironing, shop for me and then return in the evening to cook dinner. That's a pretty nice arrangement for $111!
Her English is a struggle so we are working on a series of signs and gestures to help us both out. I will leave the ingredients I want to eat out by the stove or a picture of perishables and she will cook it for me in the morning or when I return in the evening. So I will be sure to update everyone as to how well Lata cooks a tanini;-)
I could comment....but I won't.....
ReplyDeleteI hope she makes a mean Tanini, but that mine are still your favorite :)
