Village Life
Back than in the Village where most us had spent their infant
and youthful time in the village helping our presents in some domestic work
like cooking, washing of plate and House
cleaning, majority of us all those before leaving the village for the City or
Township to find our green pasture. All the experience with our parents build up
the trained to what there are today and to enjoying now and the untrained one
are facing the challenges through now. Some are having difficulty in prepare a
good male for their husband and children, and I urge them to either go for
catering school or back their mother to learn.
Food
Much of the food that people in the
village eat comes from their farms or nearby villages. They grow millet, maize
and rice, as well as vegetables, beans, fruits, and all this make them healthy.
While most families that are rich eat chickens, ducks, goats, sheep, and cattle.
In addition, chickens and ducks provide eggs, while goats and cows provide milk
for drinking and for making butter and yoghurt. The villagers buy sugar, spices,
cooking oil, and rice from small shops in the village or nearby
The experiences of the female child with the Mother in the Kitchen
In the kitchen, girls and older women cook other foods. Any event or social gathering in the village includes a feast, so part of the event for the women includes gathering to help with the cooking while they socialize. Meals consist of whole-grain millet made from sorghum with sauces made from vegetables and lamb, beef, chicken or fish. The women arrange the food on trays which are carried out to the guests. People love to share their cooking, so before meals you see children carrying food from their mothers to other families, especially to old or sick neighbors. They also carry food out to the farms, where people working in the fields stop their work and gather to eat. Until a few years ago, charcoal, wood and cow dung were the only fuels for cooking. Now the villagers have access to bottled gas and the women enjoy using gas stoves for some of the cooking.
