20.05.2020 | kitchen tails : buji ya Congo

Home Alone : Another degilling, scaling, de-tailing, fins, guts and such day


10:20 – 10:56

I made two servings for breakfast, the boy was not home, he left with Da Bibiene, his mother, to search for a new home. To get out of this one.

[20/05, 13:29] Da Bibiene: Globif (Gloria*)u done studying u can cook there is fish. U can make sauce.

[20/05, 13:33] glo: Ok got it, I don't think there are enough tomatoes so should I make the chakalaka instead?

[20/05, 13:33] Da Bibiene: Check in the deep freezer

[20/05, 13:34] Da Bibiene: If u can see how many tomatoes are they

[20/05, 13:34] glo: There are two, I used some for the beans

[20/05, 13:34] glo: Is it okay If I make fish a little later, like 16:00?

[20/05, 13:34] Da Carine: Okk no problem

[20/05, 15:28] glo: Do I just need to cook for myself or the three of us?

[20/05, 16:21] Da Bibiene: For the 3 of us


[20/05, 16:23] glo: Got it, just started prepping the fish, fish, pap and chakalaka right?

[20/05, 17:09] Da Bibiene: Yeah

The labour begun, three fishes to gut, scale, cut, pull, tear, grip, gut, scale…..

They returned at 18:30 I was done with the fish then. They were fed and so I could getaway with making popcorn and porridge for dinner.

At 19:22 our meal was set and ready for consumption.
