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.
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.

Jolly dress - very nice. It'#s good to try different food, too.
Now you've gone and made me hungry!
Lovely playful dress! And some of those dishes are fairly familiar.
A new dress and a new dish.
What a fun dress that is.
Great dress! I would not have know what to order there but glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you all for your lovely comments. Both dress and food were great
Cute dress, I would like to see the fairy dress. The Sri Lankan food looks delicious.
