Are you making a meal plan for this week?
Looks like good eats at your house. I'm going to have to try the tortilla and scrambled eggs. I haven't seen that before.
ReplyDeleteThank you, June. The tortilla and scrambled eggs is my version of egg godamba roti, a Sri Lankan dish made with a type of flat bread with an egg cooked on top of it. My mother started to make them with tortillas instead and I've continued to follow.
DeleteI had never thought of cooking an egg with a tortilla like you did. What a brilliant idea!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, I love looking up the recipes for some of the foods you prepare. One day I will actually make some of them.
As I mentioned in my reply to June's comment above, it's my mother's and my version of a Sri Lankan dish called egg godamba roti, made with a type of flat bread called godamba roti that had an egg cooked on top of it, in the middle, and then, the sides of the bread are folded over the egg to enclose it. I don't like regular fried eggs, so I scramble mine.
DeleteNow I see what Lunu Miris looks like, thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a grainy paste as the onions and chilies, etc., are ground together. I must take a picture of a dish of lunu miris, next time. :)
DeleteLooks absolutely delicious as always! I've got to get back into the groove again. Sigh
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. I hope you are able to get back into the groove without any problems. Just ease into it with a couple of meals planned for this week. :)
DeleteEverything looks delicious! Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Celie. It's one of my favorites, too! But, I try not to make it too often because I end up eating too much of it!
DeleteDear friend, all your photos and the descriptions of your meals and desserts look and sound delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. :).
DeleteAbsolutely delicious food and now I have cheesecake envy!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie. You will have to treat yourself to a piece of cheesecake, soon. :)
DeleteI fancy tearing off a bit of that tortilla right now! And a piece of cheesecake would be nice but not just yet, as I have just had an ice cream!
ReplyDeleteYou'd be welcome to a piece of the tortilla, Lady Ella. It's a good thing you've had an ice cream and don't want a piece of the cheesecake just yet, because we had the last piece of cheesecake yesterday! :)
DeleteOh my! That cheesecake looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jules. It was delicious. :)
DeleteWow - look at all that delicious food! Including dessert.:)
ReplyDeleteWhat is lunu miris? Maybe you said and I didn't take note.
Thank you, Debra. Lunu miris is a mixture of onions, dried chilies, lime/lemon juice, salt, and, sometimes, flakes of Maldive fish which is a type of dried fish. Everything is ground together to make a spicy relish. I generally buy mine in a jar from the Sri Lankan store because I am too lazy to make it from scratch, but, my daughter loves it when it is made from scratch.
