Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey!

One of the most amazing things about Kolkata is its food. So I thought I'd do a summary of the various things I consume in a typical day, and start taking bets about how much weight I'm going to gain. :)
Breakfast (at the Mission): cornflakes with hot milk, strong tea with lots of milk and sugar, a banana, toast, two eggs prepared to order (I like fried, where they use so much oil that the eggs attain a consistency that I've never seen from eggs before), marmalade and butter (for the toast).
At Kathak class: tea (really sweet and milky: you have to taste this stuff to believe it! It comes in tiny little glass cups, so we have lots of them), sometimes biscuits, mishti doi (sweet yogurt flavored with jaghuri, or palm sugar), lassis, green coconut milk, samosas, sandesh (the most amazing sweets in the world: once again, you have to taste them to believe them! Little jaghuri-flavored grainy patties of heaven...) or whatever else the teachers feel like getting for us. They're so nice with the food!
Lunch: Usually a sandwich from Barista (the Starbucks of India), or whatever else I can scrounge up. I made some trail mix from peanuts, raisins, and chocolate: amazing!
Dinner: Either out at a restaurant if the performance we've gone to (there's one just about every night) runs late (dinner at the Mission is 8-9:30), or at the Mission, in which case it's vegetables, soup, and a choice of veg, chicken, or fish with cooked vegetables, and some sort of dessert (paish, which is runny, amazing rice pudding, or fruit salad with dates, apples, etc., or mishti doi, or cake with custard...)

Mmmmmm, so good......
