My sister prepared thobwa

I woke up and worn my sport shoe. I got out of the house and started cleaning the home compound. My wife brought me toothbrush and toothpaste, which I used to clean my teeth before taking breakfast. “Sugar and tea available, but no milk. If you can ask fresh milk at mum, please go before I prepare” my wife asked me. When I got my mother, she gave me one liter of fresh cow milk. “I have taken the milk, can you please make it so fast, because I am hungry. I don’t know if you are too” I plead to my wife. Just a couple of time, she finished preparing breakfast, which I enjoyed.

My wife bought me two well-matured sugarcanes. “A full farm cart with canes was passing and I have just decided to buy for you” she told me. “Thank you so much for the canes” I congratulated her.

My sister prepared thobwa. Thobwa is a light porridge only prepared to relief the level of hungry when working. It is prepared by using white maize flour but impounded (mgaiwa) and add sugar. At my mum’s house, the sister was preparing it as a harvesting rice work preparation on the following day. Those who went to work enjoyed it and the burden of the work was relieved.
