Mid Week Meal Idea: Lu Sipi and Lu Pulu

This is a very traditional Tongan meal

Taro leaves laid out in layers...

A handful of diced meat-sipi(lamb) or pulu (beef)...

A handful of diced onion...

 A few tablespoons of coconut cream (traditionally freshly squeezed)...

 Wrap all leaves into the middle to enclose the meat, onions and cream...

Wrap in a tinfoil parcel (traditionally would be banana leaves)...

 Place parcels in a roasting dish...

and bake in the oven (traditionally umu) at a medium heat until meat is tender...

Well we have been in our new house for 6 days now and we're absolutely loving it.

 It is so nice to look out the windows and not see a fence or another house.

View out the dining room window...

View out the kitchen window...

 View out the lounge window...

View out the bedroom window...

Nothing and Heaps of Things

Clearing, cleaning and packing is in full swing (hence the lack of posts here recently)

Our walls are now bare...

And the garage is chocka-block of boxes and bags...

Moving day is Friday.

Still lots to do.
