'Osi loves this tradition, and is pretty much the only one on campus who makes the oven every Sunday, then other families bring their food to throw inside too. Its alot of work, but tastes great!
We gather our supplies on Saturday night, because the shops are closed on Sundays. Also on Saturday we pick all the "Lu" taro leaves we need, and dig up the root vegetables, because Tongans are not supposed to break the Sabbath by doing this kind of farm work on Sunday.
Early in the morning 'Osi digs a huge hole and fills it with big rocks, then builds a fire on top. He lets the fire burn for at least an hour to heat the rocks.
And an hour later we feast!
