Dinosaurs and dosas

At the circus the other week I complimented a woman on her fossil trousers. I looked them up when I got home and discovered Popsy Clothing. I fell in love with lots of their designs so checked them out on Trustpilot. Excellent rating but then so did what turned out to be a dodgy jumper company.

But I liked them so much I took a chance and ordered two dresses. They arrived yesterday and I love them. One has a fairy design and the other I wore out for a meal with Zac's Kitchen Crew last night.

Do you like my dinosaurs? Every woman should have a dinosaur dress in their wardrobe.

The meal was a celebration of four years' work in the kitchen as well as a chance to look ahead to the new plans we have. We went to a Sri Lankan restaurant I'd never been to before. Its menu was very different so, naturally, I had to try some typical Sri Lankan dishes.

For starters I had a mini masala dosa. A dosa is a crepe made from ground rice and lentils, with sambar, a lentil based vegetable stew cooked with a tamarind broth, and served with chutneys. In this case it had a spiced mashed potato filling. The filling was nice but I wasn't too impressed with the papery pancake.

But I loved my main course, which was a chicken Kothu (meaning chopped bread), a Sri Lankan dish made from veechu roti (a type of Sri Lankan roti) made with vegetables, egg and various spices.

One of the others and I both asked for milder versions of the dishes but the sauce was still quite spicy. The kothu was delicious.
