| Reunion aft 10 years!! |
well right after the races i was just worn out and tired but this was just the beginning of the events to come... The season is the time we all get together with good friends,family and good Food and the High Spirits!!
My Cousin is known for her entertainment and hosting good parties, so she had a party for all the kids!! All my nieces and nephews!! Kiddies Christmas Party with all the yummy short-eats and sweets!! Her kids were playing Santa and made the cutest Santa!! We had crackers and whole heaps of fun.
We had our High School Reunion - Celebrating 10 years!! Well it was a night to remember with all the girls laughing at old jokes, playing games, Dancing and enjoying the food and drinks!! It was just good to meet up with all our old friends...
December just gets better by the day and i had B'day parties, Christmas Eve Dinner, Christmas Day was packed with breakfast,lunch and dinner at friends houses!! The best thing about Christmas in Sri Lanka is that the food is amazing and all home cooked!!
Christmas Eve was a nice meal at the Inter-Continental with a friend of mine and i really enjoyed the night! However the service could improve!
Christmas Lunch has always been at a Family Friends place since i was a tiny tot and every year i look forward for it as its the best lunch you can find on Christmas Day! It has an extensive menu which is executed very well. I had 3 types of differently cooked pork with 2 different types of crabs, prawns, roast turkey and the list goes on..
As most of my family members celebrate Christmas i had Dinner at my Cousin's In-Laws and the yummy home made Ham and the Stuffing was just Yummy!! I must say My Cousins Mother-in-law makes the best Christmas Pudding with Brandy Butter!!and i tasted the M&S Christmas Pudding the day before that and its nothing compared to the home made Christmas Pudding!!
I clearly put on a good few pounds this Christmas!!
So the next day which was Boxing Day the 26th of Dec. and many in Sri Lanka remembers it as the day Tsunami hit our little island!! However, this day was the most exciting day for me as i went to Unawatuna for the first time in our first highway! So it was a very nice drive to Unawatuna just 1hr and we were in paradise!!
we went to this place called Happy Banana and yep i was a happy banana too!! It was so calm and relaxing we started off with a yummy Breakfast with 2 sunny side up eggs and spicy chicken curry with bread! and yummy fresh pineapple juice. We later switched to Lion Larger beer with sprite and a slice of lime!! just heavenly!! What else can we ask for??? Well the beach got crowded by afternoon but still we were in Happy Banana, happy as ever.. swimming, drinking, eating and just having a very good time!! The drive to Unawatuna which was going to be for the day turned out to be for the night and the next day!! But it was all worth it!! I'm just waiting to get back to Unawatuna and sit by the beach sipping an ice cold beer!
The year 2011 has been an adventurous one for me with many changes and i have come across various obstacles with high's and low's but all in all its been good to me and I'm thankful for been alive and been able to savor the best things in life!! And been a great year for the foodie in me!!
