Motu Party

One of our goals while in Honiara is to continue with language learning. But another goal is continue to hone my cooking skills. So, we asked a friend if we could come over and practice on her motu.

We brought a huge fish, a watermelon, and some umalau, along with lots of coconut for scraping and milking.

Everybody helped!

When all of the food was on the stones and cooking, it was time to kick back in the hammock and relax.

Some watermelon seed spitting contests also kept us busy.
Then it was time to take off the stones,


and feast on the bounty.



Gotta love those Solomon Island plates...easy cleanup!

I need some of those SI plates to use in my tablescapes! :) The watermelon sounds delicious. I have some baby watermelon and cataloupe... they have a long way to go. We just hope the coyotes and deer stay away! Have a wonderful day!
