Ngicabanga ukuthi sonke singavuma ukuthi isikhathi samaholide sika-2020 akuyona into elindelwe yinoma ngubani futhi ngicabanga ukuthi akusimina ngedwa osephendukele ekududuzeni ukudla kulezi zinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye ezedlule. Ngithole isabelo sami esikahle samafrimu e-french no-ayisikhilimu ekucindezelekeni kokuhlukaniswa ngabodwa, ukushoda kwephepha langasese, ukufunda okubonakalayo kwebanga lami lokuqala, nezinhlelo zokuhamba ezikhanseliwe.

Uma kukhulunywa ngamaholidi kulo nyaka, ukudla kwenduduzo engikufisayo kuyinto ehluke kakhulu. Impela, ukudla kungagcwalisa isisu sakho. Kepha ngifuna ukudla okungagcwalisa inhliziyo yami nomphefumulo wami. Impela, amafriji aseFrance amnandi ekugcineni kosuku olubi, kepha awekho amafries aseFrance anele emhlabeni ngalokho okwenziwe yi-COVID-19 kithi sonke kulo nyaka. Sidinga ngaphezu kwama-calories angenalutho azosenza sizizwe kangcono imizuzu emihlanu kuphela. Kulo nyaka, sidinga ukudla okusho okunye. Sidinga ukudla okusixhuma kwabanye.

Cabanga ngezinye zezinkumbulo zakho ezimnandi ezihlobene nokudla - noma ngabe ukudla kukukhumbuza ngobuntwana bakho, izihlobo zakho, noma abangane bakho. Cabanga ngamasiko emndenini wakho, noma ngabe ama-tamales noma uMkhosi Wezinhlanzi Eziyisikhombisa ngoKhisimusi, i-latkes eHannukah, noma uphizi onamehlo amnyama ngoSuku Lomnyaka Omusha. Noma mhlawumbe akuyona into eyenziwe ekhaya - mhlawumbe yi-pizzeria oyikhonzile yomndeni wakho noma ibhikawozi. Ukudla, ukuthanda, nephunga kungaba nokuxhumana okunamandla ngokomzwelo. Futhi akuqondananga - izinzwa zakho zokunothisa zinezixhumanisi eziqinile ezingxenyeni zobuchopho bakho ezibhekele imizwa nenkumbulo.

Kimi, ngicabanga ngoswidi we-chocolate marshmallow ugogo wami ahlala enziwa ngesikhathi sikaKhisimusi. Noma i-cheeseball omunye ugogo wami wayengaletha cishe kuyo yonke imibuthano yomndeni. Noma ama-meatballs e-cocktail umama angawenzela amaphathi. Ngicabanga ngekhekhe leshidi laseTexas elihlala libonakala likhona ngobusuku esisichitha nabangane bethu abahle, sihleka size singakwazi ukuphefumula. Ngicabanga izitshulu ezinesobho nesobho engikudle nomngani wami omkhulu e-Ireland ehlobo ngaphambi kokuba siye ekolishi. Ngicabanga nge-sorbet yophayinaphu engiyidle ngigobolondo likakhukhunathi eceleni komgwaqo ku-honeymoon yami eHawaii.

Uma singeke sihlangane ngokomzimba kulo nyaka, sebenzisa lawo mandla wokuqinisa amandla ukuhambisa izinkumbulo nemizwelo ukukuxhumanisa nabantu ongeke ube nabo. Sebenzisa amandla okudla ukuze uzizwe lezo zixhumanisi zethu sonke esilahlekile. Pheka, bhaka, futhi udle ukudla okufudumeza inhliziyo yakho nokugcwalisa umphefumulo wakho ngaphakathi ngaphakathi. Futhi zizwe ukhululekile ukwephula imithetho ngenkathi ukuyo (hhayi imithetho ye-COVID-19 kunjalo - gqoka imaski yakho, ibanga lomphakathi, geza izandla zakho, unciphise ukuxhumana nalabo abangaphandle komndeni wakho). Kepha yonke leyo mithetho okusolwa ukuthi iyokudla? Ngempela phula lezo - Yidla ikhekhe lesidlo sasekuseni. Yenza ibhulakufesi ngesidlo sakusihlwa. Yiba nepikiniki phansi. Cabanga ngokudla okuzokulethela injabulo futhi kukukhumbuze abantu obathandayo, bese ugcwalisa usuku lwakho kuze kufike onqenqemeni lwakho.

Kulo nyaka, imikhosi yomndeni wami yamaholide ngeke ibe nkulu futhi ibe mihle. Kepha lokho akusho ukuthi sizoba sodwa futhi lokho akusho ukuthi ngeke kube nomqondo. Kuzoba ne-lasagna eyenziwe ngeresiphi yesosi yespaghetti evela kugogo womyeni wami ongasekho. Ngesinkwa sikagalikhi umngani wami uCheriene angifundise ukusenza lapho sibuya esikoleni esiphothule iziqu zethu futhi sasizoshintshana ngokwenza ukudla kwakusihlwa komunye nomunye kunokupheka wedwa. Esidlweni sasekuseni sizodla ubhontshisi waseFrance owenziwe nge-casserole kanye ne-hash browns njengaleyo umndeni wami ongayenzela i-brunch enkulu nabo bonke abazala bami, obabekazi nomalume njalo ekuseni ngoKhisimusi ngisemncane. Ngizosebenzisa usuku olwandulela uKhisimusi ngibhaka futhi ngihlobisa amakhukhi kashukela nezingane zami, ngiziyeke zisebenzise wonke ama-sprinkle eziwafunayo, futhi ngizisize zikhethe lawo ziwathanda kakhulu ziwashiyele iSanta.

Akulula lapho singakwazi ukuba ndawonye ngamaholide. Kepha thola ukudla okukhumbuza abantu obathandayo. Thatha izithombe ozishuthe zona ngenkathi upheka bese wazisa abangani bakho nomndeni wakho ukuthi ucabanga ngabo. Yenza izikhwama ze-goodie ukuze ziwele emnyango wabangani. Hlanganisa amaphakheji wokunakekelwa kwamakhukhi ozowabeka ngeposi emndenini webanga elide.

Futhi kungahle kube nokudla etafuleni lakho leholide elikukhumbuza ngomuntu ongeke ukwazi ukuthumela i-selfie noma ukufonela ocingweni futhi. Kulungile - thuthuzela kulezo zinkumbulo njengengubo yokulala efudumele bese uthokomele. Awuwedwa; Ukubhala nje ngoshizi kagogo wami kungifikisela ngezinyembezi. Ngimkhumbula kabi, kodwa futhi ngifisa izinto ezingikhumbuza yena.

Ngicabanga ukuthi sonke sinxanela izinto ezisixhuma, zisikhumbuze abantu esingasakwazi ukubabona nsuku zonke. Ncika kuwo - gcwalisa ikhishi lakho, ugcwalise umphefumulo wakho.

Futhi udle okunenhliziyo enhle.
