Having a visitor over stresses some of you a lot and you end up flying out through your window whenever someone says they’re on their way. You can’t afford for someone to dig their hands into your food just because they’re visiting especially during these Sapa times. Here’s a guide to keeping your visitors from putting their feeding responsibilities on you.
- Keep them hydrated
The best way to keep your visitors from yawning from hunger in the first few hours is to give them a large jug of water within minutes of them coming to your home. They’d be too busy peeing and of course, you’d be teaching them the secret to good skincare that way- more water…
2. Give them pako biscuit –
If you end up engaging your visitor in a long discussion and they begin to yawn, you can offer them this specially crafted biscuit that keeps their teeth busy for hours nonstop. The harder the biscuit, the more water they’ll have to drink and the less likely they are to get hungry in your house.
3. Roasted corn always comes in handy –
In case you haven’t noticed, there are different ranges of roasted corn – the stone quality and the fufu-soft quality. Make sure you’re getting them the one that takes 45 minutes to finish chewing and leaves them with stronger teeth. They’d thank you later 👍🏾
4. Tell them you’re fasting –
Some people will come into your home, knowing fully well that your income can’t buy you a good meal and still have the audacity to ask you for food. For these bunch of entitled people to your palm oil concoction rice, tell them you’re fasting and it’s for the next forty days. Welcome them to join you in the fast so their soul doesn’t burn in hell.
5. Ask them for money to buy bread –
Entertaining a glutton is a lot of work and if you notice this particular glutton can’t eat two spoons of rice and drink water, ask them for money, or tell them you have to borrow from your next door neighbour on their behalf. Garri is now expensive abeg, anybody that wants to eat from your pot should give you money too.
