Ja shyat shyat ey weather, aaj ar ruti, torkari gelar mood ey chilam na. So had to request my
Rannar Mashi to whip up an age-old classic, ghore banano sompurno bangali style ey chowmein. I would have added some chopped up sausages in the mix as well, but this suffices and suffices well. Tomader dinner ey aaj ki jutlo? Care for some pre-12:30 World Cup match adda?

Ei puro weekend bairey chilam and aaj shokalei phirechi. Sunday tey miss hoye gelo, tai aaj ker weather ta dekhe ar thakte parlam na. Went straight to the butcher, bought a kilo of khashir mangsho and got some of it cooked in traditional Bangali style, jhol form to go with gorom gorom bhaat. What did you all have for lunch today?

Inframe: Steamed Rice, Mango Chutney, Chicken Curry and a chilled tomato, onion salad tossed in lime juice and black pepper.

In frame: gorom bhaat, aamer chutney, murgir tyal tyaley jhol, golmorich, lebur rosh diye makha tomato ar peyaaj er chilled salad.

Muri, Peyaji and sathe gorom cha, khela ta just jome gelo.

Inframe: Starting from the Right top Corner: Aamder tok chutney, Chicken daakbungalow, Chingri Maache r Malaikari, Koraishuti, gajor, kishmish ar kaju diye bangali fried rice/polau, Mutton er kalo bhuna, doi kaatla o Sosha Peyaaj er salad. Suresh er sondesh o chilo sesh paat ey, but shetar ar chobi tola hoi ni. Happy Sunday, guys.

We simply knew him as Dadu. He used to sell haridas er bul bul bhaja (chanachur). He is an integral part of our childhood, whilst growing up in Jalpaiguri. Who all are here from that generation ?

For generations, Baked Alaska has been one of Park Street's great dinner table spectacles, a frozen core hidden beneath cake and toasted meringue, often wheeled out in a blaze of fire and applause. Part British nostalgia, part French showmanship, it remains a delicious relic of Kolkata's colonial era appetite for the dramatic.

FYI: Baked Alaska began as a culinary parlour trick at the Paris World's Fair of 1867, where clever chefs discovered that whipped egg whites could shield ice cream from the heat. The French called it the Norwegian Omelette, a bizarre, beautiful contradiction of fire and ice.

There is an "S" missing in the Dessert Section!

Tai bhablam beshi na khete ba na khatiye sobcheye shortcut ey Luchi ar Begun Bhaja-e shatiye di dinner er. Fancy-r fancy and ekebarey low tier in the effort department. Who else here prefers a simple yet elegant meal?

I grew up around Darjeeling and Kalimpong in the early '80s, so Kalimpong Cheddar and those iconic lollies aren't souvenirs, they're childhood in edible form. Every trip to the hills ends with a mandatory haul. My family even knew Father Andreas Butty, the Swiss Jesuit who started the cheese-making tradition. Some things you buy for nostalgia. These, you buy because leaving without them feels wrong. Who all are familiar with these lollies here?

Inframe: Token Anime keyring, Churpis and the elusive Kalimpong Lolly.

Ja gorom poreche, took an active decision not to step out of the house. Already sokal ey errands run korete giye khola surjer alo tey case kheyechi. So onek din por ey weekday tey baritei moddhanno bhoj ta sarchi, and nothing beats Bangali Gorom kaal er ranna.

Inframe: barir aam gaach theke jhore pora source kora aam diye, aam daal. Tar sathe Lau Chingri ar Bashon diye bhaja Mishti Kumror Bora. And chotto kore Mothers Garlic Pickle.

Cheese doused with black pepper on crackers and a side of bhaja chana. Khela Jome gache. Our cook came late, so lunch will be late. Tar agey ektu shatiye nilam.

Was at Pangong Lake for an event. I was amazed at the options they had for breakfast. Ami just puri, sobji key side ey rekhe, uthiye nilam Cole slaw sandwiches, pan cakes, poha, a boiled egg and made myself a mean peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It was pretty filling.

Aam daal, Mocha Chingri, Bhetki Paturi, aloo chokha, grom bhaat, aam shottor chutney, mishti doi ar makha sondesh. Na baritey ranna hoi ni aaj, uporer flat ey nemontonno chilo for lunch, so okhan theke khawar bari eshechilo. Amio anondey satalam, ekhon ac chaliye lyadh kachhi. Aaj sobar lunch ey ki ki holo?
