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!

PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN

"I need a break." I have to say, I have been finding the internet to be exceptionally entertaining and funny lately. I'm always cracking up at someone's Instagram post, a meme on Facebook, or some random footage from Twitter. But then, there's the negativity, which is extremely draining. Y'all, I don't care how bad things get in my life, please, please, please, don't let me get on the internet arguing with people that don't have a profile picture and misspelling stuff trying to send a subliminal message to my man. Just... take my phone... okay? Photo: Stephen Nitz When I broke up with my last boyfriend, which was in the year 1802, I purposely took a short break from social media. I was upset and when I'm upset, like most folk, I have a tendency to make that apparent. I'd found myself clapping back at someone on social media once before and I was like "Britney girl, what you doin'? Ain't that why you got a blog?...

BRIT AIN`T JUST FUNNY

"So are you scared to kiss?" Guys, I`m the most awkward actress when it comes to love scenes. I know what you're thinking. "You're a comedic actress, why are you doing love scenes?", the answer is, because I`m sexy and desirable and dudes want to kiss me on camera. No seriously, I do a lot more than comedy. Making people laugh just happens to be one of my strong points. I am always open to more serious roles and I can do a pretty good job, if I say so myself! I've played everything from an old lady, to an old man, to a sexy new girl on the job (that was back when I could still fit them Abercrombie jeans). Oh my gosh y'all, let me tell you about the first time I had to kiss a guy on stage. First of all, I had a crush on him to begin with. My teacher grouped us together on purpose and gave us a scene as husband and wife. Our first day of rehearsal he asks me, "So are you scared to kiss?" In the back of my head I'm like "Yeah, we ...

DON`T LET IT GET TO YA

"After today, I`m deleting my page" Man sit your ass down (dude off of Martin voice). We all know that you're gonna be right back here next week telling us about how you're letting go of the fake people in your life, your boyfriend getting on your nerves, these girls be tripping or posting that pointless selfie of you in the bed. I see that junkie room behind you. You could of at least folded that laundry first. Okay I get it. We all need a little social media detox every now and then. Even me. It seems like people have become numb to seeing horrible images of fighting, killing, violence and hate being displayed right in their news feeds. Its sickening. And then there`s the booty pictures. Yes, we all have some saved in our camera roll but that doesn't mean you have to post it. Mam, don't look at me like that, I know you took a booty picture and sent it to your husband while he was at the office. Y'all nasty. I often find myself desiring that detox as ...
