Nuts over Coconuts....

Hi again,

Life here continues as we move into 2008. All is well here and some new people arrived the other day so that is always nice to get some new energy into the mix. The other night we went into town and had another amazing meal with the family that Prem helped out after the tsunami. It was a feast of rice and curry....all eaten with our hands. Most of the meals I eat are with my hands....I like touching the food I consume. After the meal we pushed the table aside and some of their friends came over with instruments and played some traditional Sri Lankan music. We all danced and laughed and I got some great pics. I promise that I will post some soon.
Everything here is related in one way or another to the coconut. It makes it's appearance in many food dishes either in the flesh or as milk. I also am eating one just plain every day. It is very delicious meat and extremely nourishing. I have also been getting into these little handmade dough pockets that are stuffed with potatoes and spice and then fried up....very good. Tomorrow several of us are off to see a Bollywood film called No Problem Darling...more details soon. Blessings to all....jake
