It’s been less than a week and I already miss Vogels, bagels
and soy lattes, the food’s pretty ace but I’m craving cheesy pasta and lamb
roasts!
Adam (the kiwi guy who’s been a volunteer here for nearly
two years), and I were discussing ways to keep the kids occupied during a
strike day when I suggested that we give a hangi a go. I haven’t a clue what
possessed me to think of that (I haven’t really seen one made since I was 5 at
Otaika Primary, and I generally avoid eating them). However, Adam was inspired
by the idea and on Friday morning we set off to the huge vegetable markets to
get supplies.
Everything is sold in
five or ten kg batches. This is about half of the huge indoor section of the
market.

These pumpkins weighed
up to 20kilos- we selected one of the smaller ones and even then it was huge!

The boys dug a hole,
we lit the fire inside and after about 30min added the river stones (thankfully
they didn’t crack or explode!)
|
After being buried for
nearly three hours it was dug up and turned out to be a success!

The food tasted pretty great, and most importantly the kids loved it!
Looks awesome
