THANK-FULL: NY FOOD RECAP


"So, what we gone eat when I get there?"

 Happy November! It's "We got food at the house" season which means we are one step closer to my favorite time of year... Christmas! But, let me not get ahead of myself. For the month of November, I'll be sharing some of the things that I'm thankful for. And what better way to kick off this month than FOOD. I be hungry.

Now ya'll know, anytime I go to a new city, I got to eat. That's one of my favorite things about a vacation. You do all of the prepping for it, you shop for new outfits, you try to lose a couple of pounds to get into the new outfits, you pack and travel. But when you finally make it to your destination, you get to just relax and try as many foods as you can. You know you don't be eating like that all the time, so it's all good.

I had an absolute blast exploring New York City with my friends Yaya, Greg and baby G! When I touched down at their home in Brooklyn, I was met at the door with a huge slice of pizza because they knew what I came for! What a way to be welcomed to the big apple!


Did ya'll know that New York is also known for it's bagels? Some places have bagels the size of my face! I kinda got a big face, so that's a big bagel. We popped into Steve's Bagel's one morning for some breakfast and Steve and 'nem touched my soul with that sandwich. Yaya ordered me a baconeggcheese on an everything bagel. Yes, you have to say baconeggcheese all together like that and say it kind of fast, because everybody in New York is in a rush.



P. S. We also had this freshly baked cheesecake brownie muffin thingy that I didn't get a picture of. But I have feelings for that muffin.

Yaya knows I LOVE pancakes. We didn't make it to brunch but homegirl whipped up a quick breakfast for me one morning that was just as tasty! You can't go wrong with a home cooked meal.


Last, but CERTAINLY not least, El Sombrero. So, Yaya and I were having a conversation about how I've never had plantains before. In all of my 29 years, no one has introduced me to them.This was a Dominican restaurant where I got my entire life! First, she had me try the salted plantains that came with a garlic sauce. Then, we split an order of the sweet plantains. Those were my favorite! I had a steak that was so tender and seasoned to perfection, with a side of rice and beans. I almost took a nap in that booth after this meal.




Ya'll, I think it's safe to say that I got my New York food fix for this go round. But, I will definitely be going back.

The moral of the story is, I can't wait to be fat with ya'll this holiday season. Who's cooking?

P.S. Thanks for making this a delicious trip, Yaya!

JUNE 24TH FOR THE 26TH TIME

"This year I turn 26, damn it seem it came so quick. My ass and legs have gotten thick." Those are words from the great Erykah Badu. I tweaked the age a little bit. Man, I can really relate to that line. If you didn`t know, I celebrated my 26th birthday on June 24, 2015. Every birthday that I`ve ever had, I`ve looked forward to. I planned parties, organized trips, time off from work, etc. But this birthday was different. It didn`t feel the same this year. Usually, I`m anticipating the 24th. "What am I gonna wear?", "I need to loose some weight!", "I need home girl to take my shift!" Nope. Not this year. I was in the airport traveling for work because I. NEED. MONEY. I spent the months before planning new insurance and thinking about how I`m only 4 years away from 30. I can`t even click the 18-25 age group on job applications now. I`m starting to think about stability and stuff. All the bagels and sandwich breads are going to my hips. I`m attrac...

SHIFT YOUR ENERGY

"Get ready for a shift." Aight so boom... I used to think that only crazy, unfortunate things happened to me . Like, I was the only one to be chubby and teased as a child, I was the only clumsy kid who dropped everything, I never really won anything, I was the only one in the world who tried to make a mother's day spread and it end up being too salty to eat. At one point, I started calling myself "Bad Luck Brit". Whatever energy you put out comes back to you. Photo: Sierra Campbell Because of those experiences, I went through most of life almost always expecting things to turn out for the worst. I mean, I would think of the most horrible case scenario for every situation. Me: *Gets a new job* Also, Me: "Watch, I'm gone get fired for this pink hair and nose ring." Me: *Meets a nice man* Also, Me: "Watch, he gone have a secret relationship, a hidden baby and commitment issues." See what I'm saying? There...

SWIPE RIGHT FOR THE ONE TIME

" I need a date for Valentine's Day " or " Another Valentine's Day...Alone ." or " 2 more weeks til Valentine's Day, who's gonna be my date ?" First of all, why have we been stressing about this day since the end of December? Secondly, I need a "pre-date" before I go out with you on Valentine's Day. What if you end up being crazy? What if you're boring and I don't like you? Then when we go out, I end up seeing the guy that I really like. Now I gotta peace you out. You ain't about to mess up a potential marriage for me. Hell. As crazy as this may sound to you, I never really saw Valentine's Day as a day to be miserable and in my feelings about the man who's not here rubbing my feet. I do that on Tuesdays. I remember being a little girl seeing my daddy walk through the door with balloons, flowers, cards, teddy bears, candies and cakes for me and my mother every Valentine's Day. We could always expect ...
