It's been ages since I've been around in the blog-o-sphere. Where is everyone? I feel like I'm in an empty room, and there is no furniture so the sounds all echo bouncing off the empty spaces. Have we all grown up? I read my past blog posts and have to fight the urge to delete them all. What terrible writing, droning on and on and on about nothing. Ha! I clicked around on a few of the regulars, and they don't seem to have been around either. Will they eventually phase out the blogger, too? Do people just blog anymore? Have I just aged, and don't understand how it all works anymore? I could really use some chatter about current happenings. I wish the old bloggers would come back, if for nothing else, for the nostalgia. Thanks for the memories.
After going through this particular post by seanhenricus I was reminded of how beautiful the Nilaveli Beach is. (Great photography there by the way). Although most of this is out of nostalgia and just homesickness (I'm about to buy plane tickets), I remember this magical place and the heart aches for a different time and place. Imagine a full moon poya. A silverish huge moon in the sky. The cool breeze and the silent waves hitting the shore every few seconds. The shadow of Pigeon Island just a few seconds away to the left. I stand there. Taking in every smell, every sound. The sand is soft to my bare feet. I look at the foam that forms. I can't help notice the gleam in the water...of the moon light glimmering, dancing away. The foam is white. Silvery. Everything is a shimmery silver. And I stand there. Years later, I can't forget the Nilaveli beach. I long to go back. To stand there again, on a full moon poya day. To feel that magic again.
This is really quite easy to make. I decided the best things in life are the one's that are shared. So, 'thaaggeng thaagga uthum thaaggai kiyala', I decided to make a post of it it. Ingredients - 2 eggs 1 cup of flour (piti) 1/2 cup of water 1/2 cup of milk 2 tablespoons of butter melted (it's important that it's liquidified!) Pinch of salt Inside the crepe, once it's made - Banana Nutella/ Kandos Milk chocolate spread (available at supermarkets, habai tikak ganang i think) or chocolate melted would be fine too Chocolate syrup Whip cream (there's an anchor cream in the supermarket and you can blend this, add a bit of vanilla to it) 1 Pan Bowl to mix everything in Whisk Knife to cut banana's How to make - Simple! Just mix all the ingredients and put it on a pan on very low heat. Make sure you make it as thin as possible. It's kind of like sri lankan pancakes really :) Once the crepe is mad...
