Ixesha leholide liqala ngokuduma apha kwilizwe lam elincinci. Umbulelo wokuqala ngaphandle kukamama, kwaye njengoko usondela, ndiziva ndirhabaxa. Ndizakuya phi, ngoku kungasafuneki ukuba ndimdibanise neturkey kwikhaya labongikazi? Ndiva intlungu kaThixo. ”

Kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo, andizenzi- endaweni yoko, ndizenzela olwam unxunguphalo nosizi. Ndenza into endihlala ndiyenza xa nditsala, ndinexhala kwaye ndindedwa. Ndilayisha ishedyuli yam kuba ukuxakeka kugcina ukudakumba kude. Okanye ndicinga njalo.

Ndilinde ukubona ukuba abahlobo bam abasenyongweni banentlanganiso yesiqhelo yokuBonga, kodwa kulo nyaka bazokubona usapho, yiyo loo nto iphumile. Ndamkela isimemo sokuya kwesinye isihlobo sosapho olukhulu, apho ukutya kuya kuba mnandi, uninzi losapho alunakukhumbula ukuba badibene nam amaxesha amathandathu okanye asixhenxe, kwaye ndiza kuba nethuba lokuncokola nomhlobo wam kwaye abantwana bakhe, kwaye ujonge amandla osapho amakhulu, njengoko sisitya. Ndiza kunika isandla ngezitya, ndizise izitulo ezisongelayo kunye nebhotile yewayini, kwaye ube ngumntu onobuhlobo, ohamba ngokulula.

Icawa yam ine-dish-to-pass emva kwenkonzo ye-Thanksgiving ye-ecumenical, kwaye ndiyibhalisela yona kuba iya kuba semini kwaye isidlo somhlobo wam si-4: 30. Ndinikezela ngokuzisa iitapile ezicujiweyo, amaqashiso kunye neetapile ezicujiweyo, kuba umntu akanakuba nazo ezininzi kakhulu. Ndiyakonwabela ithuba lokutya kunye nabanye abantu abahlukaniswe nosapho kwaye bazive bengamalolo. Ndifunda indlela yokuhamba ndedwa ecaweni egcwele iintsapho, kwaye eli iya kuba lithuba elihle lokubona ukuba ngubani omnye yedwa. Ndiyamangaliswa kukuqonda ukuba ndisijonge ngamehlo abomvu esi sidlo, kwaye ndiyaxolisa ukuba ndiye ndasamkela isimemo sobumnandi. Kodwa ndingazenza zombini. Okanye ndicinga njalo.

Emva koko ayizukuza enye kodwa iziphithiphithi ezibini: Izicwangciso zomhlobo wam osenyongweni uMargaret ziyatshintsha kwaye, kwangoko, ndinikezela ukupheka isidlo sangokuhlwa emini, ndiyeke icebo lam lokuthatha inxaxheba kwisidlo sangokuhlwa ecaweni. Kwaye kwangoko, ndifumana umnxeba osuka kumhlobo ophethe i-bash, endazisa ukuba ixesha litshintshile ukusuka ngo-4: 30 ukuya ku-1: 30. Ndiziva ndikhathazekile, kodwa ngokugqibela kancinci, ndiyacinga, ndingazenza zombini.

Ndazisa uMargaret ukuba isidlo sethu sangokuhlwa siyakudinga ukubakho ngo-5: 30 kunokuba kube semini emaqanda, kwaye ndiyanikezela ngokubonelela ngeziduli zetapile ezicujiweyo kwisidlo sangokuhlwa secawe nangona ndingazukutya apho — eso sipho samkelwe ngolangazelelo , kwaye ndonwabile ukuba uncedo lwam luyafuneka. Ndithenga ukutya kwesidlo sangokuhlwa sikaMargaret, nditsalela indleko, kwaye ndenze isicwangciso sokulungiselela ukuhambisa ukutya ecaweni nasekhaya lakhe ngexesha lokufika ebhashini ngo-1: 30. I-peasy elula.

Ndibona abathengi bezonyango ngolwe-Lwesithathu, kwaye ndidiniwe kancinci kukuxobula kunye nokuxuba iiponti ezilishumi zeetapile. Ndithatha isigqibo sokuba ndingayeka inkonzo yecawe kwaye ndiyeke nje iitapile ngelixa inkonzo iqhubeka; Ndishiya konke ukulungiselela ulwesine lwangoLwesine. Andinakuyenza.

Mhlawumbi ndinenkxalabo encinci malunga nokuba kungathatha ixesha elingakanani konke ukulungiselela, ndinobuthongo kwaye ndivuke ngo-2: 30 ekuseni ndiqale ukukroba iitapile. Ndizifumana, kunye nolunye ulungiselelo, lwenziwe ngexesha elaneleyo. Ndicinga ukubuyela ebhedini malunga no-8: 30 ngaphambi kokuba ndise yonke into, kodwa ndiyaqonda ukuba ukuba ndihlala ndilele, ndingakusa ukutya kuMargaret kwaye ndiye enkonzweni yecawa ngo-10: 30, ngaphambi kokuba ndiye ebhash naseMargaret isidlo sangokuhlwa. Kwindlu ayakhayo uJack , Ingqondo yam iqala ukutshiza. Kodwa ndiyazi ukuba ndingayenza.

Kwaye ndiyakwenza: Ndilahla iitapile, ukuhlohla, i-gravy, imbotyi eluhlaza casserole, isosi yecranberry, i-cider ekhazimlayo, kunye neturkey noMargaret, apho ndibona khona ukuba ulungiselelo lwam lufumene kamnandi. Ndizise ii-latte ukuba zabelane, kodwa andimenywanga ukuba ndihlale. Ndiziva ndingaqhelekanga, ndingonwabanga, ndibuhlungu. Ndenze umsebenzi omninzi ukulungisa esi sidlo. Ukuphazamiseka kokukhathazeka ngaphakathi kum: ndenze ntoni kakubi? Endleleni eya ecaweni, ndicofa i-latte yam emnandi, ndiza nezinto ezininzi, ukusilela kum. Mhlawumbi andenzanga ngokwaneleyo, mhlawumbi bendiphetheke kakhulu ngokuzisa ukutya, mhlawumbi kunzima kakhulu kuMargaret ukupheka iturkey. Unxibelelwano ngokuqinisekileyo alusebenzi ngoku.

Ndifika ecaweni ngethuba ndibeke iitapile ehovini ukuze ndizifudumale. Ndixelelwa ngumququzeleli wesidlo sangokuhlwa ukuba kukho umntu ozise iitapile ezicujiweyo. “Khange abhalise,” utshilo uEllen. “Uxolo, bendingazi.” “Kulungile,” nditsho kancinci, ndingahoyi ingqumbo yam emfutshane yenzondo. “Mhlawumbi abantu bangagoduka. Ndinokungaphezulu koko ndiyifunayo. ” Uyanqwala, kodwa ubuso bakhe bubonakalisa ukuzisola. Mhlawumbi ubona into ebusweni bam, into andiyi kuvumela ukuba ndive.

Ndiyalishiya ikhitshi ndiye kungena engcweleni, apho ndihlala ndedwa etepini ndimamele intshayelelo, iingoma zokubulela. Ndiqaphele ngubani okhoyo: ziintsapho ezintathu okanye ezine ezinabantwana, isiqingatha sedazini sabasetyhini abasuka kwikhaya leqela, umfundisi ongumKatolika ovela kwikhaya leemonki, umphathi we-Episcopal, umphathiswa wethu, nabantu abamalunga nama-30 abodwa. Uninzi lwethu luphakathi, balungelelaniswe kakuhle, bangamalungu ecawa asebenzayo. Njengoko inkonzo iqhubeka, ndiyaqaphela ukuba phantse sonke singlesesula amehlo ngeetshefu okanye iKleenex kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo.
