I know I may have shared this once before, but the craziest lie I ever believed was when my dad convinced me that I could return my baby sister to the hospital as long as I had a receipt. It made perfect sense, on account that a receipt would let you bring all sorts of things back to the store. So why not a baby,…

That would definitely be my Annie Rag Doll. Which is hilarious because I got her almost as a fluke because that was the year that Cabbage Patch Kids were so popular. My parents literally grabbed the last two that were on the shelves (for my sister and me) and the store was offering up the Annie doll as a bonus…

I feel you Amy. Kenya Moore get mistaken for Beyonce all the time. It must be such a burden

So, unfortunately I couldn’t find the video on this page so I Googled the lovely Ms. Delemus to see if I could find the CNN video instead. Apparently, she and her husband are quite the pair.

Definitely Madame Trash Heap for president. She knows all. She sees all. She is all.

It’s hard to show Russell some love right now because of all of the issues with the Rush Card. But, I have to at least give him credit for challenging Trump on the effects of his hateful rhetoric.

True that! I’ve alway wondered why I never saw her out and about in Chitown. But you Oprah’s tunnel is also perfectly heat controlled so that she never have to feel the sting of our brutal winters.

I thought I was the only person like that.

They did generally ask us a lot of questions to determine our comfort level in caring for a child with a mental or physical disability. However, when it came to the question of race-we weren’t asked that per se because we are both POC and there is an overabundance of black and brown children in the system where we…

So true. My hubby and I are working on foster adoption and in many states, older black children (especially boys)are seen as special need kids. Not because they have a physical or mental disability. But because no one wants them. When it was explained to us that way we were so pissed off we had to leave the social…

One word is a guilty pleasure. Actually the entire album is really good. It’s too bad Kelly didn’t stick with it.

The look on that little girl’s face just gave me life. Seriously, she is the only one who had some sense during that segment.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ve been looking up tips and brining was one of the things I was considering doing. I actually lucked out on getting a dry turkey brine a few months back from William Sonoma so I’ll actually get to try it out. Just curious-what do you usually brine it with?

So I am making turkey for the first time this year and I’m a little embarrassed to admit to freaking out about preparing it. I’ve always made something different (duck or ham) but the turkey was so cheap I couldn’t resist getting it. Especially since it was only 9 lbs-perfect for two people. Any tips on how not to…

That looks so delicious. I’m actually skipping pie this year since it’s just going to be my hubby and me. I’m making Peanut Butter Banana Pudding instead: http://www.eatingbirdfood.com/ultimate-peanu…

Oh my gosh. It’s been forever since I’ve had a Chess Pie. My grandmother used to make them when I was a kid. Sadly I just can’t get the recipe right when I try to make it like hers.

Couldn’t agree more. I feel that Chicagoland (and even though I live in Northwest Indiana, I still consider myself part of Chicago) gets a very bad rap with the emphasis on gang violence and such. But I definitely feel that there’s no place I’d rather be.

This has to be one of the most underrated comedies on television. It’s so good. I never realized how great an actress both Alex and Niecy were until I started watching.

The idea that this maniac may only get 12 years made me go and hug my kitten. Seriously, how is this justice?

Sad but true. When we got to Merrillville, we were in a line of 5 families looking for it based on the Walmart app saying that it was in stock. Nothing. Same for Hammond and Portage.
