On June 7th I ate at a Fijian feast at the Methodist Church that I attend. I walked there about 8 miles that day. It is on Montgomery St. where I had attended a Mom's group when my son was about 2. The food was prepared in honor of the Baptism of a one year old Fijian baby. Their traditional food too many starches and few vegetables. They do not even know about organic foods.
I will one day teach them about that and visit Fiji someday with my 2 sisters who I have known for about 1 year now. They serve a lot of fish from Hawaii, beef mixed with some peppers and carrot strips, a tapioca type of bread, taro root bread, curry beef, watermelon and plenty of cakes. About 80 people were there and I was one of the few Caucasians. I am part Hawaiian and many Figians have skin as dark as mine. There were many children running around as well as babies.
It is interesting that the women have very large feet like I do...
