Needless to say there many friends of both Kate and Arj in attendance as well as one or two of ours. All the kids were there as well. With Arj being involved with music and bands several of the guests were musicians. As the evening wore on and after people had enjoyed their Sri Lankan 'Hoppers', Arj sat at the piano and another guy who had brought his guitar with him put on a great show.
Various members of the audience got up and performed, each one in varying degrees of sobriety. But the whole thing was wonderful and after an hour or so everyone collapsed on the floor exhausted and 'sung out'.Then it was cake time and Happy Birthday.
It was a terrific night and Trish and I hit the sack around 3:00 am. That is extremely late for this old guy I can tell you.
So this morning after minimal sleep all has been cleaned up, Kate has returned to bed and Arj is about to head off returning tubs, glasses and catching up with a couple of other chores.
The photo shows exactly what Hoppers are. You have them with curry and there were three sensational Sri Lankan curries to choose from each with a varying degree of spiciness. You then pull the Hopper apart and use the piece to mop up some of the curry. When you get to the egg bit at the bottom you need a fork to separate a piece of the base and then you add you curry.Click on both photos for a larger view.
First timers enjoyed them as much as those who had enjoyed them before. The Hoppers were one of the big hits of the night. The music and friendship was great too.
A quiet day is in store today. It is low 20's outside so very comfortable. The cloudy sky is beginning to show glimpses of blue.
