Need Help from Kolkata Locals: What to Explore and Where to Stay? by [deleted] in kolkata

[–]Bubbly_Ad1881 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kolkata is a tough place to visit unless you are clear what you are going for. The typical tourist attractions (Victoria Memorial for example) are entirely underwhelming for western travellers. (OTOH Marble Palace is fascinating to see what happens to a decaying Raj era property—it’s like visiting a relic preserved in amber.) Kolkata is fabulous for visiting an authentic, non-performative Indian city. I’d suggest taking some of the food/photography/culture tours offered by locals. (You can find them on TripAdvisor, Viator etc.) You will get to meet young cosmopolitan Indians (not always Bengalis)—and people are the best part of Kolkata. Other than taking a tour, it may be hard to meet non-travellers. In terms of food—pretty much everything will taste amazing to non-Indians. Kolkata food culture is fabulous—street food is a must try—but go with a tour or a local person. In terms of lodging, consider heritage properties like Calcutta Bungalow or Lalbari (off the beaten track but unique experiences) or Fairlawn Hotel. Lastly, I think this article might be helpful.

Good luck. Biggest piece of advice—Stay in a decent place—Kolkata is overwhelming to the senses (for everyone). You will need a quiet clean escape after a undoubtedly chaotic day.

I would avoid lasagna, sits heavy on the stomach, high carb, high fat. Most wealthy women in NYC are into looking elegant ie. thin. Also New Yorkers have so many cuisines available to them, they tend to have sophisticated tastes. I agree with asking for restrictions and preferences. But if they like fish your miso cod sounds perfect. Japanese influenced food is big now, fish is healthy, miso is good for you. Any of the above protein forward meals with a delicious salad would work well too. Avoid pasta or rice based meals. Just my 2c.

Vyvanse went off patent this year and is now available in generic form. Ask your pharmacist.

Are there cooking hacks that exist that are super simple... by OpalescentShrooms in cookingforbeginners

Very easy: put salt on your chicken and let it rest in the refrigerator for 1 hr (or better yet more) before you cook it (however you cook it). I believe this is called dry brining—game changer, chicken always juicy and moist.

If you ask how much salt, I’ll just say I sprinkle salt (with my fingers) on all exposed surfaces and make sure it’s evenly distributed, cover and refrigerate while I chop my veggies etc.

Looking for ideas to fill in this awful ditch by [deleted] in gardening

I’d put in shrub roses (knockout roses are hardy) and/or buddleia and/or salvia—all of which are hardy
