Now I have met a lot of people who don’t like some foods – “yeww fish – it stinks”, “urgh beef last time I had it, it was still bleeding” – my favourite way to serve steak actually but that’s what folk say. I have stopped eating as much meat as I used to. Mainly for the reason that the ...

Well there is a little history behind this dish, dating back to when I was in my young 20′s (so yup 20 years ago – oh it pains me to say that ha ha). I had recently at that time been introduced to Turkey (the country not the animal ;-) ) by my Dad and absolutely loved the place and ...

Now as soon as I typed this title I thought this post may be controversial but hey…there is nothing better than kicking up a bit of storm sometimes. That’s what it’s all about isn’t it – create some debate, maybe even raise some eyebrows. Perhaps even get deported hey ho. I can hear you now – this white woman loves ...

Firstly I must apologise – my New Years resolution to blog more has been thwarted somewhat initially by work and then being a bit poorly for a while. Good news is I am feeling much better and getting ready to blog more. Some big changes have happened recently (nothing bad…just changes in lifestyle and finances – which I feel will ...

The title says it all really, however I haven’t been to any other major Indian cities so I could be wildly wrong but I’ve been informed except from Delhi (or is it New Delhi now? Or was that before? The country is rather confusing), perhaps, Chennai (the former Madras) is rather crazy. Now I know and adore many Tamil people ...

…..is never clever or productive. TRUST ME – just been there. I love Sri Lanka with the entirety of my heart, however sometimes things happen which wind me up beyond belief….and I’m a pretty chilled out person. Anybody can lose their temper. For me it takes a while but I’m a Taurus and when I lose it eventually it’s not ...

Palm wine: also called kallu (Telugu: కల్లు,Tamil: கள்ளு, Malayalam: കള്ള്), palm toddy, or simply toddy (Hindi: ताड़ी), is an alcoholic beverage created from the sap of various species of palm tree such as the palmyra, date palms and coconut palms (that paragraph was shamelessly stolen from Wikipedia (but that’s why it’s there hey?)) A toddy tapper In Sri Lanka it is simply called Raa. You will not find it in a wine shop…this is part of the fun. You get it from ...
I have had a hard few weeks (sorry I don’t normally start a blog with “I” but you will hopefully get it as you read on). So, I’m going to get the moaning out of the way first and get onto the stuff that inspires me….food…yeppers and alcohol; double (shot) yeppers. Ah it’s nothing drastic, it’s just frustration at living ...
The answer to the title is simple. I am a Suddhi (a white women). In about 9 months I will have lived here for 10 years. I have had great, good, bad and horrid experiences, mostly thankfully good. I think all expats go through a honeymoon stage at first – the newness, the beauty, the friendly people and beautiful smiles ...
Hello all, One of my New Years resolutions is to blog more so expect ramblings and recipes, some Dutch titbits and hopefully some useful information too. I started the 31st of December very well, healthy dinner and in bed by 10 pm ignoring the party noises from everywhere in town. It went downhill on the 1st of January when I spent a whole ...
Dutch is a very challenging language to learn, because the constant adjustments in the ‘official’ spelling of Dutch words make for a chaotic and inconsistent linguistic environment. A short blog but I need to keep going. I have been busy with translation work and this issue has been bugging me, hence the post. More recipes and Sri Lankan ramblings ...
