He wāhi nui a Kumluca mō te tini o te tangata nā te mea koia te tāone matua o ngā whare kati kōtuhi. Ia tau ka tū he hakari, engari ko te take i tae atu ai ahau ki reira i tēnei wā ko te āhuarangi.
Ko Kumluca i te kawanatanga o Antalya ki te tonga tētahi o ngā wāhi kāore i te tino pai ki ahau. E rua aku haerenga ki reira, ā, e rua aku whakaaro mōna. Ki taku titiro, kāore he hītori, he whare tawhito ataahua, he ahurea whai rawa rānei. E whakapono ana ahau kei reira tonu, engari kāore anō kia kitea e au. Heoi anō, he wāhi nui a Kumluca mō te tini o te tangata nā te mea koia te tāone matua o ngā whare kati kōtuhi. Ia tau ka tū he hakari, engari ko te take i tae atu ai ahau ki reira i tēnei wā ko te rangi. Me pēhea te whakatau a ngā kaimahi pāmu i te makariri, ā, he aha tā rātou e mahi ana hei ārai i te ngaronga, te huka rānei o ā rātou hua?
I te awatea, i haere ahau ki tētahi wahine e noho ana i te taha o te hawhe haora te tawhiti mai i Kumluca. E noho ana ia i reira me tana tāne me tana tamāhine, ā, he pāmu iti tāna. He wāhi nui tēnei mō te tangata katoa ki te mahi, engari i tēnei wā, he wāhi nui tēnei mō te wahine me mahi e ia ngā mahi katoa. I pokaina tana tāne i te wiki kua taha ake nei, ā, whati ana te waewae o tana tamāhine, nō reira kua noho ko ia anake. I te awatea, ka tiaki ia i ngā huawhenua e tupu ana i roto i tana whare kati kōtuhi, ā, i te pō ka ngana ia ki te ārai i ana tōmato me ana pepa reka kei huka. Ka whakatakotoria e te iwi o tēnei rohe he ipu hinu nui ki roto i ngā whare kati kōtuhi me tētahi tatau māmā engari he mea hanga noa, kātahi ka whakatakotoria he paipa mita te roa e rere ana puta noa i te whare kati kōtuhi katoa. Nā te mea he utu nui te hau, ka whakamahia e ngā kaimahi pāmu te waro, te rakau rānei; ko taku i kite ai, i ēnei rā tata nei, ko te nuinga o te iwi kei te whakamahi i te rakau, nā te mea he tino utu nui te waro.
Te mate pūtea nui
I taku tūtakitanga ki te wahine, e whā ngā rā kāore ia i moe, nā te mea me whāngai ia i ngā whakamahana hiakai. Ehara tēnei i te mea ngāwari mō te wahine takitahi. Me maka tonu ngā wahie nunui, taumaha ki roto i ngā pahu, nā te mea ki te heke te pāmahana o te whare kati kōtuhi i raro i te kore nekehanga, he mate moni nui tēnei mō te wahine. Nā te kaha o tana mahi, whara ana ōna ringa i ngā wahie ahi katoa i maka e ia ki roto i ngā pahu, engari i whakawhetai ia ki te Atua he iti noa iho āna tipu tōmato i pāngia e te huka. I kōrero mai ia ki ahau e whakamahi tonu ana ia i ngā huawhenua i whakatipuria e ia hei hanga kai māna, ā, i pātai mai ia mēnā kei te hiakai ahau. Kua tae ki te 1 karaka i te ahiahi, ā, ka tīmata ahau ki te rongo i ētahi oro rerekē e puta mai ana i taku puku. Me te whakawhetai, i whakaae ahau ki tana tono, ā, ka kohia ngātahitia e māua ētahi o ngā huawhenua e tupu ana i roto i tana whare kati kōtuhi. Ko te haurua o ngā pepa whero reka me ētahi aubergine i kohia e ia i maka ki runga i ngā pungarehu wera o te pahu hinu. I roto i ētahi meneti, ka uru mai te kakara reka o te pepa hou kua tunua ki roto i taku ihu. "He huamata tēnei, ā, mō tēnei huamata me tango e au te kiri o te pepa," tana kī mai ki ahau. Ina whakatakotoria te pepa ki runga i te pungarehu wera, ka homai hoki e tēnei pungarehu te kakara motuhake ki te pepa.
I muri tata mai, ka wehe atu mātou i te whare kati kōtuhi me tētahi pereti pepa whero "kua tahuna", he putea kī tonu i ngā pepa whero reka hou, te aubergine, te pāhiri, te pīnihi me tētahi otaota kāore i te mōhiotia i roto i ōku ringa. I te kāinga ka tīmata tonu te wahine ki te whakarite kai - kāore he wā hei moumou. I honoa ki tōna whare he momo whakamahau kua kapi ki te kirihou nā te mea kua takurua inaianei. I te kokonga o te whakamahau he momo ahi hei hanga kai māna. I Turkey, he maha ngā tāngata o ngā kāinga he whare hou me ngā kīhini ataahua, engari i kite ahau kāore te nuinga o te tangata e pai ki te mahi i roto i te kīhini. He pai ake ki a rātou te whakarite kai i waho, i roto rānei i te toronga kati o te whare, pērā i tēnei take.
I a ia e noho ana i runga i te papa, ka pokepokea e ia te paraoa mō te taro pīnihi, ka tīmata ki te whakakī mō ngā pepa kī tonu i muri iho, kātahi ka hanga i ngā huamata ataahua e rua. Ko tētahi o ngā otaota i whakamahia e ia mō te huamata i huaina e ia ko "kōkulu ot," arā, "otaota kakara," engari i taku pātai atu ki a ia ko tēhea te ingoa tūturu, ka mea ia ki ahau: "kōkulu ot." Kāore taku kapa i te mōhio ki te ingoa, nō reira me mihi atu ahau - kāore e taea e au te āwhina i a koe me te ingoa e mōhiotia ana. Heoi, he tino reka te reka o te huamata - he "al dente" tonu, ā, he reka te reka.
Te kai i runga i te papa
Kāore i roa kua oti i te wahine te taka i ngā rihi e rima, ā, tata ki te haora i muri mai kua tae ki te wā ki te whakarite i te tēpu. E mōhio ana pea koe, ko te nuinga o te iwi o ngā kāinga kāore e noho ki te tēpu engari e pai ake ana ki te noho ki runga i te papa i a rātou e kai ana, me te whakamahi i tētahi paepae nui he poto ngā waewae hei tēpu. Ka noho te katoa me ō rātou waewae e whiti ana i tēnei tēpu, ka kai.
Ka tukuna te kai ki runga i ngā pereti rerekē, ā, ka kai koe i ngā pereti kotahi. Ki ētahi tāngata, he mea e kore e taea te mahi i tēnā, engari he tino pai tonu ki ahau ina kai pēnei ahau. He tino reka te kai, i pai ahau ki te kai i ngā momo rihi katoa, ā, ka kai ahau tae noa ki te kore e taea e au te ngau anō. I taua wā, ka taka e te wahine he tī, ko te tikanga i taka ki runga i te ahi e mura tonu ana. Kia kī atu ahau, he wheako nui te inu i taua tī – he tino rerekē te reka. I mua i taku wehenga atu, ka homai e te wahine he putea nui o ngā pepa ki ahau. Ki ahau nei, ko te Turkey tēnei – koinei te take i pai ai ahau ki te oranga o te kāinga.
