Njengokuvukelwa okuninzi, kwaqala nge-spark encinci.
Iminyaka, iAugust yam yamva ibifakwe kwiincoko ngekwindla. Abantu bonwabile ngeli xesha elizayo, ukutshintsha kwemozulu, kunye neeholide ezizayo. Kweminye, ukuwa kubuyela emva esikolweni. Kodwa kuninzi lwabahlobo, usapho kunye nabantu endibaziyo kwindawo yam yemidiya yoluntu, ukuwa lixesha lesithambiso seethanga. Uhlaziyo lwesimo esonwabisayo esazisa ukubuya kweStarbucks 'pumpkin spice latte, okanye iTrader Joe's cornucopia yezinto zezithambiso zamathanga, ibe yinxalenye yokuphela kwehlobo kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo yobomi bam.
Bendihlala ndisonwabela incasa yamathanga, ngokwam. Andizange ndizame i-latte eyaziwayo, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo bendiyithanda ipie yethanga kunye ne-cheesecake yethanga. Ndinqwenela ukuzama ezinye zezinto ezingaziwayo zethanga zesipayisi iminyaka eliqela, kodwa ngandlela thile ndingazange ndifike kuso.
Emva koko, ngo-2013, kwafika intlantsi. Nge-Agasti ka-Agasti, ndabona eyam i-anti-pumpkin spice meme. Kumda wexesha lomfana endandingumhlobo kaFacebook naye iminyaka eliqela, lo mfanekiso ulandelayo wathunyelwa:
Emva kokuphawula ukuba ndiyifumene i-meme sexist, kwaye la manqatha espice ayenzelwe wonke umntu (hayi amabhinqa kuphela), lo mfo waphindeka kabini, ethumela i-meme engakumbi yesini. Ibibonisa ipakethe yentlaka enencasa yesinongo, inamagama athi LE YINTO EYENZEKA XA SIVUMELA ABAFAZI BAYILE IMVELISO ngoonobumba abamhlophe abangqindilili. Ndicaphukile, ndibethe iqhosha le-unfriend.
Ngelishwa, esi siganeko sasingabekelwa bucala. Ukurola kwi-newsfeed yam, ndabona ezinye ii-memes zespice zamanqatha. Yonke into yayijolise kubafazi. Bayihlekisa ngefashoni yethu. Bahlekisa ngengqondo yethu. Bahlekise ngothando lwethu olungenatyala ngee-latte kunye neelekese, nangona ingengithi sedwa ekuthandeni ezo zinto.
Amantombazana aliqela endaziyo ukuba atyholwa ngokuba ziihipsters, okanye nokuba axakwe, ngokuthumela la manqaku ahambelana namanqatha ahlala enawo. Kwakubonakala ngathi ii-dudes zifumene enye into engaphaya yokuhlekisa ngabafazi.
Kwaye bendingenayo.
Ndandiza kuvukela. Kunzima. Ndiza kutya iziqholo zamathanga kakhulu-ZONKE iziqholo zethanga-kangangokuba ii-trolls azizokwazi ukujongana nazo. Imini yonke, ndiye kuthenga. Ndithenge eyona yummiest, eyokungaqhelekanga, eyona ifihlakeleyo kunye neyona nto ijongeka kamnandi yemveliso yamanqatha endinokuyifumana, kuyo yonke idolophu yase Indianapolis. Emva koko ndahlala phantsi, ndaza ngosuku olunye ndazama enye nenye. Ndathatha imifanekiso, ndaza ndarekhoda izinto endizenzileyo kuFacebook. Isithethe sosuku lwePumpkin Spice lwazalwa.
Unyaka nonyaka ukusukela, abahlobo abaninzi bajoyine usuku lwam lwePumpkin Spice Day. Abanye bade baqala ukundithumelela iimveliso zespice ezingaqhelekanga ukuzama. Eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu, ukugcwala kwam okungaphezulu kwamathanga kubonakala ngathi kuninzi kakhulu ekusetyenzisweni ziitroll. I-memes ye-spice anti-pumpkin yancipha ngaphandle kweendaba zam ngokukhawuleza nje ukuba ndithumele i-albhamu yam yokuqala yePumpkin Spice Day.
Ke ngoku, bafundi abathandekayo bakaMary Sue, ndingazukiswa ukuba ungandivumela ukuba ndibelane ngamagqabantshintshi osuku lwam lwePumpkin Spice Day.
Egqibelele
Xa ndixelela abantu malunga nesiko lesipayisi samathanga, umbuzo wabo wokuqala uqhele ukuba Yeyiphi eyona nto uzamile? Olozuko luwela kwenye yezona zinto zincinci, ezona zithandwayo kuluhlu lwam lonyaka: i-Godiva pumpkin spuff truffle. Ngobume bayo obujikelezileyo kunye nokusongelwa okuhle kweorenji (kunye negqabi kunye ne-sprig ejijekileyo yomdiliya!), Le yenye yeemveliso zesipayisi ezisikiweyo. Yisongele, yaluma kwitshokholethi kwaye unike incindi ye-orenji ngaphakathi, enencasa ephawuleka ngokungathi yiphayi yethanga.
Ngaba kukuphela komqobo? Aba bafana bancinci bayabiza. I-truffle enye ixabisa iidola ezimbini ngerhafu. Kodwa kumthandi wespice oyinyani, ingaphaya kokuxabiseka kwayo.
Okubi kakhulu
Ngokulungileyo, kuza okubi. Kuzo zonke iimveliso ezingaqhelekanga endizizamile, okona kubi kwaphela kuye kwaba yinto ethobekileyo neqhelekileyo yokutya okutyayo: ithanga lespice Peeps. Iipeeps zahlulahlula kwelona xesha lilungileyo-uyabathanda okanye uyabacaphukela. Umhlobo wam olungileyo, uHeather, wayelungile ngokwaneleyo ukuba andiphe ibhokisi yebhokisi yamathambo xa wayeva malunga nesiko lam elitsha. Wayengazi ukuba isipho sakhe siza kuhlala silihlazo.
Ukuba ngumthandi weePeeps eziqhelekileyo, ngekhe ndikulungele ngakumbi oko bekuza kwenzeka njengoko ndithathe ukuluma kwam okokuqala. Amacala asezantsi eepkin spice peeps agqunywe kwinto ebonakala ngathi (kwaye ibhalwe njenge) itshokholethi emhlophe, kodwa ethe kratya ifilimu encinci, yetshokholethi-esque ejika ibenolwimi kwangoko. Incasa ye spice yethanga ayifumaneki kwaphela — eyona ncasa inesinamon. Ukutshisa, isinamon eyenziweyo.
Ukunyaniseka, ii-Peeps eziqhelekileyo nazo zine-flavour, i-artificial-sweetener flavour (yinxalenye yomtsalane wazo!), Kodwa iyaphela emva kweenkonjane ezimbalwa. Le ncasa ayizange iphele. Yahlala iiyure, kwaye yagxothwa kuphela ngamazinyo-okuxubha. Ulumkisiwe.
Izinto ezingalindelekanga
Ngokulula enye yeemveliso zamanqatha ezingaqhelekanga ndizamile, i-pumpkin spice ravioli evela kwi-Trader Joe iye yaba yenye yezona zinto zibalaseleyo. Ndiya kuvuma, kwafuneka ndizinike intetho ye-pep ukuluma kwisiqwenga sokuqala. Ndothuswe ngokupheleleyo kukunambitheka kwendalo okwethanga, kunye ne-sinamon kunye ne-cumin kwi-aftertaste. Kwakumnandi, kumnandi, kwaye kumnandi ngebhotolo kunye netshizi yeParmesan.
Enye into eyothusayo sisiqholo setywina iTwinkie. Ayizange yothuse ngobumnandi bayo, njengoko yenzayo i-ravioli. Ngokulula… khange ndinambithe nantoni na ngendlela ebendiyilindele ngayo. Cinga nge-cream efrijiweyo, exutywe neziqholo nento nje encinci ye… yeplastiki? Ayonelanga ukuba ibe gross, eyoneleyo yokwenza ukuba ucinge ngeelekese ezingabizi kakhulu zobutsha bakho. Ndinebhokisi yezi, kwaye andikwazi ukuqonda ukuba ndiyazithanda na okanye andizithandi. Kwintliziyo yam, ilizwi elincinci lisebeza ukuba andisoze ndazi.
Ndikhuthaza wonke umntu ukuba enze uSuku lweSpice lweSpice lube yinxalenye yesiqhelo yekwindla yakho. Ngubani ongenakukwazi ukusebenzisa iholide yamabhinqa awileyo?
