When I heard that Paul Ryan listens to Rage Against the Machine I was quite perplexed.  Rage stands against everything he stands for.  I think that’s something he says because he’d seen people walking around in band shirts back in the day and he can remember the name because Rage is definitely not for Paul Ryan.  

She needs some lotion for those crusty feet.  

I live in New York I get Peardrax and Cydrax but they are both made in Trinidad because it’s Christmas tradition to have either Peardrax or Cydrax or both.  Where I live they sell Carib Shandy in the beer aisle now and at the Beer Gardens. 

Trinidad is a former British colony so I wouldn’t be surprised that’s where our “traditional” black cake comes from. We still have many brands in Trinidad that England gave up ages ago because it’s our tradition and we won’t give it up. For the holidays we still have Peardrax for example (we made a Christmas basket to…

I always felt for Abraham Lincoln’s wife. She lived with such fear that her son William would die and she would be committed and both things happened.  She had a great deal of tragedy throughout her life.  

Cookies never last that long in my house.  

I always hated making chocolate chip cookies because they’d never turn out the way I wanted. I like my cookies soft and moist one of the ladies at church make the best cookie like this and I couldn’t get my cookies like hers at all.  Then I found Alton Brown’s cookie recipe and it worked for me so well melting the…

The shandies I had growing up were ginger or lime. Now there are sorrel and tangerine flavors as well. Making some kind of fruit wine was pretty standard for nearly everyone. My aunt took classes a few years ago on making homemade wine and my grandmother still makes wine. For Christmas we use wine and rum to soak the…

I’m West Indian we got Shandies at weddings, Christmas and other occasions. I grew up on the stuff we did not realize it had alcohol at all. I also made wine growing up. We had lots of fruit trees on the property where I grew up. We did not let them go to waste I’d pick them and make wine out of the overripe fruit.  My…

They were many over on 8th Ave. when I was going to college in the 2000's.  

Samantha definitely deserves something but all the help she needs she won’t get it because that would mean acknowledging that what is going on now is a consequence of her own actions. She is so bitter over Meghan doing well for herself without them that she is willing to attempt to drag Meghan through the mud in the…

Meghan’s dad’s elder children are trash and messy as HELL. Doria was right to give up that man when she did. Any black family with a hat wearing, church attending, grandmother or big momma who is not pure trash would behave themselves in public if a member of the family married into royalty because ain’t no way you…

The true theme of this is money.  Who has money, how people make money, and what people in power do for money.  It is not making the city any money all the “cash businesses” putting money into the pockets of the mob and corrupt police officers, they have to go.  The city wants taxable income putting money into their…

She’s a jealous hag. Meghan was not supposed to make anything of herself in the minds of her trash heap of a half sister. She’s black, I am sure that they thought she would never amount to anything they after all referred to Doria as “the maid.” Meghan after all stopped having anything to do with her elder siblings…

I was at the panel today Frances McDormand will be gracing us all as the voice of G-d Herself.

I don’t usually see editing issues. I noticed in the scene at the bridge at the end one scene was day then the other was night. It took me right out of the movie.  I was just like why did nobody notice this?  

I hope the work that the kids from Stoneman Douglas make young people more active in politics.  Young people don’t vote enough.  Young people need to be more active because they’re the ones that will be inheriting this mess and it’s going to be a haul to fix things if the Republicans have their way with everything.  

The Alabama election made me very suspicious of white women and their ability to be “allies.” 63% of them voted for Roy Moore. Black women had to do all the work again.  I am hoping white hot rage puts more people in the booths this cycle and more young people vote and more people of color vote for the Democrats.  I…

My family cannot do a “small” wedding.  When one of my cousins got married we had a “small family wedding” of over 300 people mostly family because the family is huge.  

I saw a wedding spread taken at the Main Branch of NYPL in New York Magazine’s Weddings edition. The pictures were gorgeous. NYPL can do that because it’s gorgeous at that branch there’s marble all over the place, gorgeous staircases and interesting places for pictures.
