The mountain

The

mountain

It was a gloomy and mysterious forest.

I was strolling down the spooky forest. I came face to face with a GINORMOUS mountain to climb.

I was so worn out when I was climbing the mountain, I said to myself “I can’t do this any more”. Until FALLING ROCKS came tumbling down the mountain! I was so frightened when  I heard BOOM CRASH BOOM!. I was moving left right and center, but I managed to dodge the falling rock that tumbled. I was thinking that maybe I could make this easier, if I could pretend that if I was in a game and go stage by stage. So there were tons of stages, (well you can tell that there were lot’s of stages just by looking at me) but never mind that. I was finally at the top of the

HUMONGOUS mountain, it was such a good view “I could see a lake, a village and a village being attacked, wait, what. Never mind”, I was so proud of myself until I realized that the sun was going down. I had to climb the challenging mountain all the way back down I said “you win mountain”. So I tried to take a short cut and jumped of the high mountian, down into the lake and it was a high jump from the mountain and I made it (well sort of) I died  unfortunately because I belly flopped on the water Then end.

       The Hangi

Splish splosh splish splosh it was a revolting day and I forgot to bring gumboots so my shoes got destroyed. But it was finally time to help them make the hangi and be involved with it. My class came down the soaking hill, when they saw the hangi some of there faces were looking like OMG! What is that a gigantic beast guarding the kai.

When we all arrived to grab our food Hinia said a karakia to thank our kai and those involved in the hangi. Then my mouth went crazy for the food and started anticipation when I saw the kai. As soon as it was our turn I said in my mind every dig in I was that excited to eat.

Eventually when we got back to class we all started to eat and a few people didn’t like it but a few did. If I had to rate out of 100 it would be 100 out of 100% that is what I would rate. Also if I had to ask this question what food did you like and dislike? I would choose every single bit except the cabbage. But I enjoyed it like I enjoy living with my family and it was THE GREATEST DAY EVER!!!!!!.

Croatian Traditional Way Of Cooking

A traditional way of cooking in croatian is a peka. 

A peka is a large metal baking dish with a bell-shaped dome lid. It is used to cook food in an open fireplace, with hot coals and embers placed on top of the dome for even, slow cooking. Meat, poultry, fish and vegetables can all be cooked in this way, and the finished dish is also referred to as peka.
