\"\"<\/a>It is situmu season. From the picture, can you tell what situmu are? They are caterpillars! And yes, those caterpillars were in a pot on my stove. But no, I did not try them. A friend asked if she could cook them at my house. There are lots of people here who really enjoying eating situmu, but I’m among large minority who don’t want to. I’ll save the delicacy for others. \ud83d\ude42 It’s also rainy season, and in August is when it’s supposed to rain the most. I saw rain each of the first three days of the month. Sometimes it wasn’t much, though, more like a drizzle. And do you know what that’s called in Jula? Situmu daji. Yes, it’s the same situmu that means caterpillars. And since your “daa” is your mouth and “ji” is water, can you guess what “situmu daji” literally means? It’s just drizzling – it’s just caterpillar spit falling down on us. Anyone thirsty? (PS. For those who noticed that “daa,” meaning “mouth,” has two “a”s, and “daji” only has one, I didn’t misspell them. If the “daa” is its own word it gets the double vowel, but when it is put in a compound word it drops the second vowel. It happens with a lot of words.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
