Hangi - Sep 2008

Hello All

Well we had a great Hangi at the weekend. The balance was:

49 Adults
30 Children

100 bottles of beer (0,5l)
10 bottles of white wine
2 bottles of red wine
1/2 bottle whiskey
18 cartons of juice (1l)
25 bottles of mineral water (1,5l)
100 mini sausages - thanks martina
100 mini bread rolls
5,6kg lamb
4,6 kg beef
3 whole chickens
4 whole pumpkins
10 potatoes
3 huge salads - thanks peggy, liz and ingrid
1 fruit salad - thanks karin
1l ketchup
1 pavlova - thanks todd
1 apple cake - thanks brixa
5 kg stir fry vegies

Not bad huh ! The food was fantastic and everybody raved about the lamb and the stir fry vegies that Mike made of course. All the food was gone and we could have done with a few more of certain things. On the list for next year. The herbs on the meat made a huge difference and it was cooked to perfection. 4 hours in the ground - may do 5 next time.

Here are a few photos for you all to nosey at. I had my great NZ t-shirt on that I got for my birthday from Karl. Unfortunately I was taking the photos and no-one took one of me ... also was a bit of a headless chicken filling up the beer, bread, water, etc. so didn't actually take all that many pikkies - sorry !!





Charly ran around with the kids full-on from 4.00pm till 9.30pm so it was a long active day for her but she had a ball.






I got to bed at 3.00am only to be woken up again at 7.00am by Charly. Mike got in at 4.30am and is still dead now - it's 5.00pm. Hilda, Peter and I cleaned up everything and it went quite well really.





A big thanks to all those who came and also for the lovely gifts and goodies you all brought with you.

Tini and Eric have become parents again - a big boy called Tim weighing in at a proud 3,8kg - well done. 5am on the morning of the Hangi ! Congratulations !!!!!

Take care - Love us 3 xxxooo
