For this visit, I brought a Rugrats/Wild Thornberry movie to show them. I was hoping the baby would become interested in it as well, since she is still shy of us. Also, to bribe the baby, I brought cookies and Jell-o, but it failed to entice her to accept us. She enjoyed eating the Jell-o but just not with us. Roahsani’s younger brother was at her house today as well. He has been in the U.S. for 4 years so he was able to speak more English. This was helpful when we had difficulty communicating. He was able to explain the plot of the Indian movie that we were watching.
For lunch, Roshani cooked a noodle dish using Barilla spaghetti. This was surprising considering she used a different variety of noodle last time which was more of the Asian variety. I had made spaghetti many times before but it never occurred to me to use pasta in Asian dishes, I always buy the proper type for the kind of dish I’m making. It seems that the family is adapting quite well in America. Perhaps one day, they can open a restaurant that has a fusion theme to it.
Also, the family expressed interest in visiting museums and zoos in Chicago. I told them that we can go once the weather gets warmer. Hopefully the weather will be more cooperative by then.
