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!

The Good Girl

"Wait, am I going to get in trouble if I do that?" I`ve always been that "by the book" type of person. If I didn`t get permission to do it, it`s not happening. Yep, you guessed it, my friends hated me in high school.  I was the one with the curfew at midnight. No, I couldn`t sneak inside of the house because my mother and father were always sitting on the couch in the front room waiting for me to get in. And if I wasn`t home by midnight, I had a five minute grace period before they were blowing up my little flip phone. "Where are you? Do you know what time it is?" "Yes mom, I`m down the street." We were really just getting off of the highway but it was no red lights and my friend had a heavy foot.  *Shout Out to Laster and Sophia Douglas.* I was always the "good girl" and that was NOT a compliment. Being the good girl meant that you were stuck up, weird, boring, funny acting, etc. I`m actually all of those things when I`m hun...

BLACK AND CAREFREE

"While ya'll being distracted by this, look what's happening over here..." Ya'll know exactly who those types of people are on your friends list, don't you? You can't share a few funny memes, indulge in a hot topic discussion or post pictures of your lit brunch without somebody saying "Some of ya'll black folks be worried about the wrong thing!" And yes, some black folks ARE worried about the wrong thing BUT some black folks can worry about more than one thing at once. I mean damn, don't ya'll want a break sometimes? Photo: My Mama. Today's topic is on being BLACK AND CAREFREE . I wanted to make some heart warming post about black folks being able to be happy even in the face of adversity. Being able have joy and be aware at the same time. I had all intentions of posting photos of myself and my friends full of smiles. Making jokes about being black, educated and well spoken but being able to turn that off to be b...

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...
