Fun with dirt

page24-1003-thumb
We got together with the House Church families the past week at Han-lim's sisters' farm. We had good time getting to know them better and making Taiwanese earth ovens. You carefully assemble a hollow dirt pyramid. The digging provides a chance to find sweet potatoes. Then you build a fire inside the pyramid, and when it is super heated you fill it with wrapped food items, chicken, fish, sweet potatoes, corn, etc. Then you collapse the pyramid on red hot earth on it. In an hour you dig up your dinner. We had a great time doing it. Not only did we get to meet Han-lim's relatives, but other people had friends out too.
