Good Bye Midigama We Will Miss You

As you all know we have been staying in Midigama (Sri Lanka) for the last 2 months, its sad to say but the surf session has come to and end. Even in the morning at 5:30am the wind is up and the waves are no fun to play on (AKA S@#T). So in the next day or 3 its time for us to move on, but Midigama will stay in our hearts for a long time. We have meet some amazing people here from day one. The locals have been the friendliest people I have meet anywhere always giving and happy to help. The tourists have also been great, well at lest the once we got to hangout with, everyone is from somewhere new and all happy to live the simple life and just be. Its also been some crazy times like taking the bus anywhere is an extreme sport, you can die at anytime. A trip here would not be complete with out a trip to the rice & curry place and also Mamas. If you never got to eat at one of these places you’ve never lived. With all of that said the best place to eat and stay is the Senya guest house, its a nice little guest house 5 minutes from everything, wave, food, and transport. Senrath is the owner and one of the most humble and amazing people you will come across anywhere, so if you do end up here in Midigama spend a night or a month with him, you will not be sorry..

Hurry for the home made curry

At the Senya guest house they make there curry from start to finish & we had the opportunity to spend the day with Senerath the owner of Senya Guest house, to help him make his world famous curry.. The day starts with a trip to the local markets where he buys only fresh ingredients. We walk around looking at all the vegetables, but Senerath looks feels and moves on (without buying much) till he finds what he know is fresh, it all look good to me lucky I’m not the cook. We even have to go to other market because there no good mushroom at that market.  After a hour or two we are back from the shopping ready to start the preparation for the six currys he will be making that night. The preparation takes about 2-3 hours even with four of us (trying) helping him. We even make the coconut milk by shedding all the inside of the coconut & mixing it with water and other secret ingredients. Then its business time and we all just stand around like we know how to cook, but we are all just getting in the way i think, but Senerath is to nice to tell us to leave. Senerath says that cooking good curry is like science just the right amount of this and that (we all just look at him & nod like we cook good curry all the time :). But when its time to eat I for 1 know i can’t cook anything  with that much love and flavour, in the end we all eat way to much, but have the happiest bellys in all Sri Lanka..
