I must say, I've suddenly become so busy! Which explains why this is a short post.
Our Sri Lankan friend Rads is in town, she came last week and leaves on Friday.
So happy to see her - I get to talk in Sinhala, a language I miss a lot....and now keep forgetting due to learning Spanish.
She brought the orange lentils which were godsent since the only ones you get here are the green and black ones.
So happy she came to visit us - the first Sri Lankan to do so!
Long story short, we had our first Sri Lankan dinner party on March 27th, the day of my parents' 32nd wedding anniversary. And was it a hit! We cooked some of our favourite Sri Lankan dishes and stole some secret tips from Peter Kuruvita and it was delicious - even though I do say so myself!
We had black lentil curry, prawn curry, chicken curry, beetroot curry, cashew and pea curry, rice, rotti and an assortment of pickles and chutneys! For dessert, it was my famous carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and Peruvian key lime pie!
The diplomats and VIPs invited loved it! So much so we have a dinner invitation from one of them on Friday! So thrilled!
