Ngaphambi kokuba ube namaphoyisa aseNingizimu asondle angidlulisele endaweni encane lapho kukhona ama-grits asitholakali khona, ngicela ngikutshele ukuthi umndeni wami weCanjun wehle kanjani esonweni sesiraphu kanye ne-grits.

Ngolunye usuku ekuseni ngeSonto sasidla ukudla kwasekuseni: Ubaba ubabala futhi ugaye noma ama-pancakes sonke. Njengomkhuba, isiraphu kaSteen kanye ne- maple isiphezu. Ubaba wayekuthanda ukuzama ukudla, hhayi njalo ngokuhlakanipha. Ukupheka kwakhe kwakumnandi: ukuhlolwa kwakhe kungasabisa.
Ngolunye usuku ekuseni, ubaba wanquma ukuzama isiraphu kaSteen ngokugaya kwakhe okwenziwe ngobuningi futhi wamemezela ukuthi uthole into entsha futhi emangalisayo. Isinyathelo esilandelayo sasilinga isiraphu se-maple emagcekeni asele epulatifheni yakhe, okuyinto ecabanga ukuthi yayisungulwe kahle.
Wajabula kakhulu ngalokhu ukuthi sonke sazama ukugaya ngebhotela nesiraphu, futhi iqembu lamakholwa lazalwa.
Manje, kwabanye abazala bami basemaphandleni langempela nabangokomfanekiso, ukuthululela isiraphu ku-grits kungase kubonakale sengathi kuthulula isiraphu kulayisi. Yuk. Kodwa kuthiwani nge-rice pudding (ilayisi noshukela)? Kuthiwani ngokuthulula isiraphu ngesinkwa?
