Toasted sandwiches for dinner tonight (because I didn’t feel like making pizza sauce, plus electrician didn’t come so outlet the countertop oven plugs into is still sparking).
Mom had her favorite tomato and cheese (mix of aged cheddar and Amul, the iconic local brand of processed cheddar).
We had roast beef and cheddar (with a sprinkle of truffle salt on the beef).
I made a substantial vegetable soup to go with, in lieu of a salad or side vegetable. Carrots, dudhi / bottle gourd / calabash, aromatics, and a bit of moong dal for heft.
I made an evening snack to go with tea earlier — we have some tasty ritz-like crackers that seem to have a chaat masala component, so I thought they’d be good in chaat, and I used them as the base for sev puri (topping with onion, potato, chutneys, and sev). Even mom couldn’t resist a full plate — they were really good!
