Ubuka iindwendwe kwitheko le-cocktail? Le nto inikelwayo inesampulu yeecanapé, ukutya okuncinci, nokutya okumnandi okufanele lo mcimbi. Zonke izimuncumuncu zibekwe endaweni ethile (kunokuba zinikezelwe), kwaye le nto inikelwayo ilungiselelwa kwenye indawo, ibekwe ezityeni kwindawo ekuyo, kuze kucocwe ikhitshi kancinci. Iphakheji esisiseko iqala ngezinto ezine (4) ezahlukeneyo ze-canapé, ibe inokwandiswa.

I-Fan Fare spread yam yenzelwe ukuba kube lula ukutya ukususela ekuqaleni komdlalo ukuya kwimpempe yokugqibela, ukususela kwibhola yokuqala ukuya kwibhola yokugqibela. Yonwabela uludwe lwezinto ezincinci ezilungiselelwe ngumpheki, ezinokwabelwana ngazo, ezifana nee-slider, ii-skewer, amaphiko enkukhu aqhotsiweyo, ukutya okutyiswa ngesandla, ukutya kwabantu abangatyi nyama okanye abatyi nto yenyama, kuquka nee-dip neesosi ezimnandi ezenziwe yile ndawo. Izinto endizibonelela ngazo ngosuku lomdlalo zamkelekile kubantu abaninzi, zinencasa, kwaye zinokwenziwa ngokweemfuno zakho ngokupheleleyo. Singongeza izimuncumuncu neziselo ukuze sigqibezele ukutya okulungiselelweyo... kuba eyona midlalo ibalaseleyo ifanelwe kukutya okubalaseleyo.

Lala kude kube semini, zithulele ikofu, uze undivumele ndikuphathele isidlo sakusasa sasemini. Le nto yokuzonwabisa ephakamileyo, yohlobo losapho, inezinto ezininzi zexesha lonyaka ezenziwe kucingwa ngeemarike zamafama aseCalifornia, neentsasa ezinde zokuphumla. Iimenyu zinokuquka izinto ezimnandi nezityiwayo, izinto ezibhakiweyo ezisandula ukwenziwa, iisaladi ezimnandi nezinto ezityiwa ecaleni, iziqhamo zexesha lonyaka, iiprotheni, ijusi esandula ukwenziwa, kunye nenkonzo yekofu epheleleyo okanye ye-matcha, enento emnandi yokugqibela. Ixabiso liquka ukufumana izinto zokupheka, ukupheka ekhaya nokubeka ekutyeni, kunye nenkonzo egqwesileyo ukususela ekuqaleni ukuya ekucoceni.

Ubuka iindwendwe ngeNdebe Yehlabathi? Ndiza kujayiva. Esi sidlo siphakamileyo esifana nesasemva kwendlu siquka ukukhetha kwakho iiproteni ezigriliweyo (cinga ngenyama, inkukhu, iisoseji, okanye ukutya okungadliwa nyama), imifuno yamaxesha athile onyaka egciliweyo, kunye nezinto ezihamba nayo ezithandwa ngabantu abaninzi njengeesaladi ezimhlophe okanye iitapile ezigcweleyo. Iisosi ezenziwe ekhaya neesosi ezishushu ziqukiwe. Iidizethi neziselo ziyafumaneka njengezinto ezongezelelekileyo—kuba wonke umdlalo ufanele ukugqitywa ngento emnandi. Qalani umdlalo.

Masenze ipati yesidlo sangokuhlwa esikhanyayo, esiphilayo, esingenakulibaleka kunye! Le nto inikelwayo iquka imenyu yamaxesha athile onyaka eyenziwe ngokukhethekileyo enezidlo ezine (izidlo ezimbini zokuqala, isidlo esiphambili esineproteni, nesidlo esiswiti), ukutya okuncinci okumbalwa kweendwendwe zakho xa zifika, kunye ne-mocktail eyenziwe ngokukhethekileyo. Ixabiso liquka konke ukuthengwa kwezinto zokupheka nokulungiselelwa kwazo, ukuphekwa nokunikezelwa kokutya ekhayeni, ukufakwa kwisitya ngendlela entle (ngendlela yentsapho), nokucocwa kwekhitshi okungephi. Ukutya okulungiselelwe umntu omnye/okusemgangathweni kuyafumaneka ngemali eyongezelelekileyo. Ndingakunika izitya zokutya, okanye ungasebenzisa ezakho!

Akukho nto indenza ndonwabe njengokulungiselela ukutya kwezona zihlandlo zakho zibalulekileyo. Ndingathanda ukukwenzele imenyu yeendidi ezininzi zokutya eyenzelwe wena ngokukhethekileyo. Le nto inikelwayo iquka izidlo ezine (isidlo sokuqala, isidlo sokuqala, isidlo sesibini, nesidlo esiswekile), konke ukuthengwa kwezinto zokupheka nokulungiselela; ukupheka ekhaya, ukubeka izidlo ezityeni, nenkonzo epheleleyo; namamenyu aprintiweyo. Ndiyacoca njengoko ndihamba, kwaye andizukukhathaza ngoxa wonwabele ubusuku obungalibalekiyo!
