With Pancake Day/Shrove Tuesday just around the corner I thought i’d trial a pancake recipe i’ve been wanting to make for a while in preparation for the big day. Well, MANCAKE recipe…
Bacon.
Dark Chocolate.
Peanut Butter.
Whisky.
MORE BACON.
Gaaah, just get in my belly now!
So I made Kiri Bath today.
In Sinhalese ‘Kiri bath’ literally translates to ‘milk rice’, and is pretty much what it says on the tin. Rice cooked in milk.
Traditionally the dish is considered to be quite decadent, so is customarily saved for special occasions and the first of the month. So keeping with tradition…
I’m just going to go ahead and say it… I’m a hopeless romantic.
I’m that girl who swoons when a guy holds a door open for her, finds it adorable when she sees an old couple holding hands, lives for a Disney fairytale ending, and just an all around sucker for a good ol’ serenade!
I can’t help it, I’m a girl. It’s pretty much hardwired in our DNA to be hopeless romantics! God help me.
Though, saying that… Â I’m not usually one to make a fuss over Valentine’s Day. SHOCK HORROR!
I don’t know, maybe i’ve just never been a fan of being absolutely SUFFOCATED by hearts and pink and flowers and chocolates… Actually, I’m totally ok with being suffocated by chocolates.
Or maybe it’s the hopeless romantic in me that just doesn’t believe we need a set day to do something special for a loved one? I WANT TO BE SERENADED ALL YEAR ROUND DAMMIT! I don’t ask for much.
However, this year I decided to suck it up and indulge… with some baking… because let’s face it, is there any better way to tell someone you love them than through the means of baked goods?
I think not.
