The cook book was my farewell gift to Ginette - I hope she cooks something from it for you soon! It was lovely working with Ginette both at Oak Lodge and at Rohana. Anne Hi Debbie Ginette’s Mum!

I will let her do a manicure before we procced with the meal that one day she will cook. I'm not sure if the manicure should be before or after the meal or both. Ginette is home next weekend, hopefully. I'll be sure to get out our spices and curries, her cook book and the nail clippers. Pleased to see you're back into your home environment. Take care. Say hi to your parents and thank them for helping to create a caring son.

I have tried to convince the Rawlinson family, they're not quite as keen. I must say, I went to the pub for dinner with my friend last night and ordered a plate of nachoes...before I knew it I was eating like I was back in Sri Lanka - mixing the sour cream, beans and nachoes together. It wasn't until I saw my friends facial expressions of disgust that I realised what I was doing. Habits! I will try and do some cooking for my family soon, thanks for the cookbook! Oh and bring on the rotti! Miss you heaps! xx I am so proud of the Stone family for getting fully involved in the Sri Lankan food experience!

You must cook something up when you visit Michigan at the end of the month! Nice pictures. I'm proud of your parents and sister, too. And they still have all their digits? Your Dad can eat in such a ravenous fashion, I thought that maybe he'd bit off a little more than he could chew! Uncle Jim Wow–I’m hungry!!

So simple; 2 parts flour to one part dessicated coconut, then tiny bit of water to make it doughy. Break off pieces so they are smaller than a tennis ball but bigger than a ping pong ball, roll and roll around then squash by smacking in between your hands (hence the sign for rotti!!), then fry, in small amount of oil, either side of the rotti, till golden brown (less than 5 mins).... so so good!! x x x x ooh i just remembered…. you should put the rotti recipie in there!!
