Dear Bokomo,
You usually make my Namibian life better with your tasty granola cereals and delicious rusks. So I bought your brand of oatmeal with zero hesitation. And let me just say… re-sealable container MY ASS! When I went to make myself a balanced, nutritious breakfast of sugar/cinnamon oatmeal (did I say balanced?)… there were CREEPY CRAWLIES IN THE BOX. (Granted I had opened you 2 months ago and haven’t touched you since… and I kind of opened you wrong AKA tore your lid. But I’m still pretty sure this is somehow your fault.)
On the plus side, it made me lose my appetite/skip breakfast and my learners have so kiiindly told me that I’m getting fat. So apparently that’s something I should be doing more often.
Thanks Bokomo!

Ah... the bluntness! I'd forgotten about that. I can relate:
ReplyDeleteI came home one winter break from college and helped organize the Xmas holiday party, and so had to be front and center welcoming everyone on the big night. I can still remember someone I'd met on a previous visit, one of the Senegalese who worked for my Dad exclaiming, who offered as the reason that she didn't recognize me without a proper introduction, "Ah, tu as grossier!" You got fat, kid, basically. Gotta love the double meaning I got from the 'gross' factor, too. And it was said so matter-of-factly as if no big deal. Yeah... it takes some getting used to.
HI
Oh... and if you can handle it (it depends probably on how hungry you are) we'd often just use a fine sifter to get the bugs out of flour if we really needed it. Your call. Definitely a personal decision!
