Family, the other day ago, someone declared fried chicken to be "the pancake of fried foods," and sausage that fried chicken was not a dish to brag on because most people don't mess it up.

Thoughts? ? ?

So because I'm the King of Black Fat Gay Jewish Vulnerable,
I am hoping one day I can really write about the intersection of these things in a way that won't make me feel like I'm saying too much. Which is hilarious when I'm surrounded by a narrative that only pretty WASPs play.
Being with other Jewish men was a challenge in the sense that I could usually only play one unfortunate role....exotic Black bear daddy who could likely give mamele a coronary...but after beast...pillow talk revealed tada...Im Jewish too
And they would run like gehenna.
The other version was like this....ok so we're both Jews but I really don't want to deal with that....

I need to let you know that you need to read and receive different narratives about Black food culture. By Black I'm referring to self-described, opted in people of African descent. Yes. This is a thread.
High on the Hog, Hog and Hominy, Soul Food, The Jemima Code, and many others including The Cooking Gene are very different takes on specifically African American culinary narratives. More stories can and must be told by different voices.
The Cooking Gene isn't just African American culinary history. It is framed in terms of the journey of an individual... me...&the types of families my journey represents...The South&Great Migration...but back to the source Africa and the African Atlantic world as a whole.

Which one? (Focusing on color) ImageImage
Counters will remain the same. Camel or beige paint may stay depending on color choice but doubtful. No white but lighter colors welcome. Now that you've seen those colors and know I want glass paneled cabinets.... ImageImageImageImage

Looting is uncalled for. So please return the land to the Dakota and neighboring First Nations.
Did I lie?

Here's the bottom line....the blanket kids gloves treatment given to the #January6th crowd has centuries lasting potential for all further public disobedience, protest&response. The free for all at the U.S. Capitol means the double standard has now meant critique is meaningless.
I don't remember anyone blaming music, or attire or parenting skills or culture or color on #January6th and if you plan to test me...white supremacy can infect anyone...
But tonight there will be right wing vitriol. There will be low key calls for neo-eugenics, there will be shaking of heads by hired Black right-ists who will tweet as their masters bid them....
