THE DIARY GAME, 16 MARCH 2023 . COOKING DAY FOR UNCLES FUNERAL.

Hello dear steemians. Its another time to share how the day went through with you guys.

Early in the my mom woke me up to come and assist her in the kitchen to help her and prepare food for our fathers step brother who died. He was sick for two years and had difficulties in eating, working and was always unease. His face pealed and his stool was sometimes bloody. He had suffered alot before dying, living beging three children and a wife. His oldest child was about 9years old. It was a very sad situation for the family. We planned to prepare water fufu and eru to take to the village for the funeral. The day before, i was in the market with my mom to buy the food that had to prepared early in the morning.

When i met my mom in the kitchen outside that early at about some minutes after 5:00am, it was so cold and freezing outside. She asked me to crush the uncooked water fufu to be almost dust like, and scatter all the lumps. I sat in the kitchen and did as i was told and added water to it and mixed to be like smoothy. I went to the firewood parking store and got some wood and light up the fire. I placed the pot on the fire, and started mixing the fufu till it was thick. Since i was preparing much quantity, in the process of mixing when it was already too thick, the stones will shift behind and as the pot torched the wood, it caused alot of smook. Along the line i had to put the stones together, increase the fire and continue starring. By the time it was getting ready, i went outside to got a pot ready to hot water to use in washing the eru.

I got through with the fufu and my mom and aunty had to roll in to small sizes in a plate . I then washed a flask that would be used to put the fufu inside. I left the eru to be made by my mom and hurried to the next street to see someone. The person i had to see was not available, and i was told he went to the hospital to the hospital for consultation. I passed and saw my aunty who had already finished cooking and was set to carry her own food that she had to carry to the village. I assisted her to carry it to the road where she got a bike to the park and left. I came home and my mom was through with the cooking.

She asked me to go and see her off too, and i carried the food to the road while she got a car to the park . I came back and wanted to dish my own food but i didn't like water fufu so i made garri instead and ate with the eru.

After eating i washed two of my tshirts and later went inside the house since it was almost raining. I picked the tshirts from the drying line and placed in the house . I took a bath and sat in the palor listening to some lectures on YouTube.

In the evening, my friend passed by the house and pleaded to use my wifi box and and i gave him. He asked me to go see him off at the road to give a phone to a certain lady. When we got to the ladies place, there was no one at home. On coming back, we passed by the road side and bought some fried fish and puffpuff and eat for the evening.
