Welcome. I have very fond memories of The Botanical Gardens , fruit bats and of course kottu from when I was in Kandy. The train journey to Ella from Kandy was wonderful.

Nice to hear that! Yes Kandy is a well-known tourist city. But it has changed since I was schooling there a few decades ago. Itās a lot more built up than it was. And definitely Kottu has also changed a lot since then. lol. Long ago it was made with a lot of ingredients but today only a very few.

Greetings everyone!
- Minneapolis-St Paul & the Southern California desert
- Iām not an authority on anything; just a general enthusiast.
- I once had the immense pleasure to dine with Julia Child and her sister in Mill Valley. Lovely people.
- Iām a quiet single professional man who spends his free time cooking and reading. I mainly drink bourbon, but also enjoy gin, and beer.

Born and raised on an Iowa farm and sneaked out after college. Spent 20 years in SF and the North Bay. Moved to the Twin Cities for professional reasons and bought a home in SoCal to escape the winters. The TCās winters are long and bitterly cold but the summers are spectacular. So now Iām a Hawkeye quietly living in enemy Gopher territory. Haha.

One good thing about growing up in Kansas was that we always had Iowa to make fun of.
My best friendās 1st wife ( also the lead singer) was from Estherville/Lake Okobochi.
My niece and her hub live in St. Paul.
I left the middle of the country because I hate snow and cold.

Welcome @Respectfully_Declined!
I canāt hear Mill Valley without hearing that song, even though I lived in NYC when I first heard it.
It was directed by Francis Ford Coppola!
Iāve been in Solano County for 30 years and Iām intrigued by 1:55.
Okay, I now realize you didnāt actually live in Mill Valley.
Nevermind!
