E HIKA ma, far out what an amazing month. Lots of food and plenty of restaurants and cafés visited. Of course it's Matariki, the Maori New Year, so celebrations for everyone. Not to forget Winter F.A.W.C!
On Saturday Monique and I supported our daughter's school gala with a bit of Hekeism Entertainment and a cooking demonstration.
We had a small crowd laughing and asking questions. We prepared our own version of pulled pork sliders, with apple slaw and watercress crème.
We sold these for $5 each to help fundraise for the school, He Miharo tenei! Awesome.
At the same time both Monique and I were mentally and physically preparing ourselves for our F.A.W.C! event at Mangarara Eco Lodge, Otane.
Well Monique was doing the mental part and I was doing the physical. So straight home after the gala, packed the truck up, loaded the Weber BBQ and kettle smoker, platters, chopping boards, bowls, utensils and knives, and headed to Mangarara Lodge.
