Sri Lanka’s women have much to celebrate in humbling defeat at Asia Cup. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE Image Source : hindustantimes Beaten but unbowed, Sri Lanka’s women returned home with a lesson on how the best in the world compete as India cleverly and clinically dissected the challenger to grab the Asia Cup for the seventh time. Obviously overawed by the occasion, Sri Lanka crumbled under the pressure of expectation and this could have not been more evident than the frantic run outs early in the game that sealed their fate. Riding on the back of Renuka Singh 3 for 5 and brilliant batter Smiriti Mandhana 51 not out off 25 balls laced with 3 sixers and 6 fours, India dismantled Sri Lanka with consummate ease. Losing skipper and mainstay Chamari Athapaththu in the third over, the Lankan batting was in all sorts as they stumbled in disarray, then ...

Curry Diva brings color to her food and to the telling of her story – By Nancy Weingartner Monroe Source : foodservicenews  It’s hard not to love Heather Jansz—even before you sample the Sri Lankan native’s life-affirming food. “I had the pleasure of working with her on a gig at Buettner’s this summer and immediately fell in love,” quips Darren Ennis, co-owner of Sheba Inc and The Sample Room, in NE Minneapolis, who introduced Jansz to me. Known as “the Curry Diva,” Jansz was doing nut-free, dairy-free, gluten-free food before it was mainstream. “I offer turmeric-infused rice and balance the meal so that it hits on all those senses that are sitting there dormant,” she said. “They activate all six senses: sweet, sour, salt and bitter, pungent and astringent.” During the pandemic she’s doing takeout only Saturday nights out of the kitchen of Minneapolis’s Café Wyrd, which closes its doors for ...

Another “Kelly Klassic” – Aishling Rafferty – Darling, Say You’ll Love Me When I’m Old Proof that young & old can mix. The song is a very old one, first made popular  by Irish duo Foster & Allen, and now by a beautiful young lass, also from Erin, who proves beyond doubt, that it is now what you sing, but how you sing a song. NO shouting or screaming out the lyrics, no trying to show-off being a female, no fancy clothes, make-up, etcetera, this young lass is, in my opinion, a superb Vocalist, and an example to all female Vocalists out there. Watch how she does it, and enjoy this video folks. Desmond Kelly. (Editor-in-Chief) e’Lanka.   ...

“A BLESSED VEGETABLE” – by Des Kelly It was just about time. A video about my favourite vegetable, I remember them as Ladies Fingers or Bandakkas, which came to us in Ceylon, in plenty, only you had to snip off the pointed little end of each one to find out if it was either ‘lappati’ or ‘morala’. The lappati ones were tender, the others were rough and not fit for cooking. Like a lot of experienced cooks, my dear mum was considered an excellent one, and would cook twenty or thirty of these little lappati, punchi bandakkas simply boiled in creamy gravy c/w a variety of spices, ending up in a most delicious vegetable curry, OR would first fry them in good old coconut oil, then cook them. We called this lot simply bandakka-thel-dhala, and my mouth waters, just thinking about this vegetable. The manner in which I describe it. ...

Ruthless Sri Lanka RIP the heart out of UAE – by BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE (eLanka Sports editor) Pathum Nissanka set the stage to put Sri Lanka in a position of strength, then Dushmantha Chameera, and later Wanindu Hasarsnga and Maheesh Theeksheena ripped the heart out of UAE to propell the pre tournament popular team back to a chance to make the Super 12 of the T20 World Cup. After Nissanka restored Sri Lanka’s innings to a position of respectability, Chameera wrought havoc on the UAE top order terrorising them with sheer pace and venom to snuff out any chance of a challenge. The partisan mostly Sri Lankan fans that camped and stayed loyal at GMHBA Stadium in Geelong, were treated to a ruthless display by the Lankans who kept a promise from skipper Dasun Shanaka that they would bounce back from their early hiccup. Sri Lanka made a ...

Noel News “First we’re children to our parents then parents to our children then parents to our parents then children to our children.” MILTON GREENBLATT Good morning I’m writing this from Los Angeles, where we are visiting our son James and his family. It’s our first overseas trip for three years, and nothing much has changed in America except the horrendous prices, due to the surging Greenback. The United Airlines flight ex-Sydney was uneventful, and it was great to discover that masks are no longer required – neither on the aeroplane nor in the airports. On the advice of friends, we invested $90 for two Apple AirTags which sit inside your suitcases and enable them to be tracked anywhere in the world. Luckily, our luggage arrived on time, but it was good to know that the AirTags were there as a backup. We did have an initial scare when we ...

The Red Crabs: Amazing Phenomenon on Christmas Island-by Michael Roberts Source:Thuppahis Christabel, Fiona, Cat and Connor in November 2021 … with frontispiece pix from Samantha Wright One of the top ten natural wonders of the world, according to David Attenborough, is happening right now in the thriving rainforests and deserted beaches of Australia’s Christmas Island. Christmas Island is globally significant, home to a wealth of unique and rare sea birds, land crabs and marine life. There are few comparable unspoiled tropical environments left in the world. Once a year, this uniqueness is on full display as millions of red crabs emerge from the forest and make their way to the ocean to breed, swarming across roads, streams, rocks, people’s homes, and beaches. ...
