When we are in the village, lunch is often a soupy mix of leafy greens, starchy root crops or cooking bananas, and curried coconut milk. In Lavukaleve, we call it “nasu”. Today the mix was slippery cabbage and cooking bananas. Yesterday, it was pumpkin greens and local potatoes.
Aaron was given some fish as he left the feast day at Nono village on Tuesday, so we tossed the fish into our soup yesterday. We even had enough to share a big bowl with one of the widows in our village! The girls usually scrape one coconut each to make the milk for our lunch, and sometimes they have an audience.
Aaron made a trip over to the East/Catholic side of the Russells this morning to meet with Chief Michael to set up a future workshop in their village. On the way home, Aaron stopped to check in with Ezekiel. He got home just in time to eat a late lunch of nasu and precious watermelon slices that one of our friends brought to market yesterday.
