Mendazi’s for Sale
When Cheri arrived, she was happy to find that Maximilla had returned but quickly saw that she’d fallen right back into her same pattern of not doing much through the day, not even taking care of her son Richard. Cheri decided to set her up with a little business. She bought her a little jiko oven, pan, and ingredients to make mendazi. Mendazi’s are the African version of our donut without the glaze and circle shape. Now, each morning, Maximilla makes fresh hot mendazi and sells them to the staff for 5 shillings a piece. It has become a hit! The staff loves having the treat readily available and Maximilla stays busy. She has even begun to look happy. Just last week, I heard her whistling up the stairs of our main building while on one of her rounds to deliver the delectable treat to staff anxiously awaiting her arrival. I, of course, always want to help support her business which sadly does not help my figure, but hey, it’s all for a good cause, right? ☺
