NVB travel diaries...

So I just ate pronutro for the first time in more than a dozen years. The mouth has a memory awu suka madoda, I can't explain how it felt. I had, however, forgotten how to make it and the box didn't seem to say, so I did what you do in times like this and googled it but with no luck. At the store, when I asked the black employees how to make it (in their language that is also a cousin of mine), they couldn't tell me. I was passed from one to the next, people shaking their heads like I was asking how to seduce Jesus. I had forgotten how food is complicated business; there is white people's food and black people's food and rich people's food and poor people's food. Its a fact of life I had almost forgotten. Of course I didn't eat pronutro when I was growing up; it's wasn't exactly our food. For breakfast I remember black tea for the most part, plain bread (butter and jam were treats), magwadla (dried shelled maize), maqebelengwana (which I hated). Lol, but I turned out just fine I guess, except I have a general suspicion for pretty food.

... word

‎"I respect what I am doing. I am willing to protect this creative moment and can give up friendships for it, even permanently. I have never regretted claiming this sort of space. Fortunately, generous and giving colleagues and family members surround me; I am even luckier in my friends who seem to understand too well my desires for solitude." Yvonne Vera. Nuff said, uh huh, nuthin to add there. Nada.

Word

“Create dangerously, for people who read dangerously ... Writing, knowing in part that no matter how trivial your words may seem, someday, somewhere, someone may risk his or her life to read them.” Edwidge Danticat.
