Museum Magic!

Suva hosts one of the best museums we have visited. We had an afternoon with a couple extra hours and decided it was time to tour!

Eggs Ala Goldenrod!

Easter is a time of reflection on our Savior, attending church meetings, and the traditional Easter Breakfast of Eggs Ala Goldenrod! We have never missed a year of doing this, whether at home, at the lake, in the mountains, in the West Indies, and now here in Fiji. It is fun to know that wherever the rest of family was this year, they were enjoying eating this meal... even Jennica on her mission in Tennessee. Feels like we are together in a way :)

Whoops!! Forgot to sprinkle on the crumbled egg yolks for the picture ..ah well!





They are even better when we have colored the Easter Eggs for the hunt and there is color in the white sauce ...lol This tradition goes back to both our parents and when we were kids! (This is our Fiji Flat--we love how comfy it is! Sits amongst flowers and palm trees...lemon and quava trees!)

College Chickens

We benefit from the College Farm--their vegetables and now their chickens! One Hundred small chickens were bought and then nurtured for several months.



They grew from this (cutest little things!) to these 4-5 lb. fryers:



When they started to harvest them and sell them to the community, we decided that we wanted a couple also. They sold them live mostly; but, we wanted to kill and clean ours! Brother Raman, the farm manager was there to help us; he kept commenting on how "Elder Collins is the first Palangi to ever help do this!"







A student helped and we gave him our chicken feet (a favorite amongst them!--I actually like them also). Sister Iva Konataci was there also cleaning some for her family and the Baking & Patisserie classes that she teaches. Brother Prasad joined us, Vice Principal in charge of finances.
