Independent life for five days

Dad,mom and sis have “deserted” me to an independent life for five days since the 26th upto the 31st of December 2007.The concept is that if I can handle myself for these five days,I shall be considered a “mature” adult on their return.Today,Dec 29th is the 3rd day and I’m already bored with eating the fruits of my own cooking,mainly(only) Dosas with sauce,pickle and stuff.I’ve been taught how to make rice so that I don’t have to survive on Dosas only….which is usually my fave food but NOT when that’s the only thing that’s available,which is the case due to my very own incompetence at making anything else other than tea.I was advised to go out for lunch while cooking up some rice for dinner and make up the rest with dosas.But just two days lunch in the restaurant have shown me that their menus are highly tilted in favour of people who either

1]have huge appetites(and I really mean huge) or

2]groups of people or families

1st day lunch outside was on 27th: I though I might have two naan and a vegetable consisting of spinach and potato(Indians would recognize it as Alu Palak),when the food arrived,I thought there had been a mistake since I spied atleast three nans but since I was anyway thinking about ordering another one after finishing two,I kept quiet for awhile.Soo,I realized that there were not three,but four naans served up,I asked a waiter to realize to my horror that what I was thinking to be a single naan,was actually half-a-naan and therefore there were two naans,exactly how many I had ordered!Got it what I meant when I wrote that the menu was oriented towards heavy appetites or groups?

2nd day lunch out was on 28th:After the previous day’s experience,I simply ordered a masala dosa,came back home and had a glass of curd,that was quite enough,specially since I’d had breakfast late in the morning.

Today,I decided enough is enough and made my lunch at home(dosas,what else),probably I’m going to repeat the same till 31st morning when my people come back.
