Sure, it’s nice to win, but hats off to the Sri Lanka cricket team for their marvelous effort in this recent World Cup tournament. I’m certainly no fan of cricket, but I had to support the home team even though they were up against some serious odds. Playing team India in Mumbai must have been bad enough, but when your star player, Murali, is also injured, there are handicaps that prove too difficult to overcome.
Still, Sri Lanka made it to the finals, just as they did in the 2007 World Cup (which they lost to Australia), and their drive and effort must be applauded. Sri Lanka has been a consistent power in the sport of cricket, and I know they’ll be back for more.
Until then, the best way to drown our collective disappointment is in a heaping plate of rice & curry!

Dude, I grew up on Baseball, but have taken a liking to Cricket a few years back. This year’s final was awesome.
Kudos to Sri Lanka for fighting it out. For some time it looked like as if they could win it, but India (I’m a fan of India) somehow pulled it out.
Nevertheless, the Lankan Lions gave a great fight, and were impressive.
So any news on when the Rice & Curry Book will be available on Amazon or as an e-book?
Hi Amit:
Rice & Curry: Sri Lankan Home Cooking will be coming out on Hippocrene Books in the Fall of 2011.
Best,
