Carpetbaggers know equating Detroit with urban decay and ruin by always posting abandoned buildings is racist and anti-Black. They see gems like The Fisher Building's Art Deco(?) style and pretend Black people aren't keeping it alive! I'll always love this Motown gorgeousness!

Find my fav B movie set in Detroit that's better than you'd think on Tubi 'Thick As Thieves'!
Michael Jai White's Pointy has so many good one-liners spit with such precision including,
"You can take a bitch out' the 'hood but you just can't TAKE a bitch out' the 'hood!"

Such a good night at Friendsgiving: looked cute (despite weight gain), ate well (good libation assortment too), cute kids I wasn't responsible for, impromptu karaoke & honest & relatable family stories that ran late!

Just finished my take-with for tonight's Friendsgiving:
Garlic, Chive & Gruyere Smashed Potatoes (no cream), Garlic & Scallion Beef Chuck Roast and gravy (beef gravy-holic here!) and the host's very sweet fav: Michigan's own St. Julian Winery's Sweet Revenge red wine.

📣 New bean/pea variety unlocked & tested: Apparently, I like lentils, people! When roasted red peppers are the first ingredient, and big chunks of ham are added, this soup was absolutely delish! The sweetness of the peppers would even have been enjoyable meatless! 😳

Spain has some gorgeous train stations! This one in Toledo, Spain reflects the city's Muslim and Christian inhabitants' influence on architecture.
I loved visiting this city, it had the narrow, bricked streets and the small European town-feel I had always imagined!

I've never had authentic green curry but another home sauce pouch I made years ago tasted THAI!! Today's dish tastes VERY subtly of lemongrass but mostly just coconut milk!
Recipe: Sophieeats.com/thai-green-curry-chicken-recipe/
Is the mild blandness correct? Mild must be Elmer's glue!

📣Chefs & Cooks:
Before I write to the co, shouldn't Thai Green Curry Paste be "FLAVORFUL-spicy" if not "HOT-spicy"?!
Recipe says 2T Green Curry Paste and 13.5 oz can of coconut milk. I used the ENTIRE new jar of paste. Result? Creamy, slightly sweet sauced chicken! Whuh?!

Pantry-clearing: boxed Devil's Food cake mix (flavor-deepened with coffee) iced with vanilla canned frosting and topped with sugared fresh raspberries. It ain't the prettiest on Saturday night but it was quick & good eatin' for tv watching!

The calf to ankle ratio in my fav hosiery!

So, did my broccoli & gruyere soup (with bits of smoked ham) fail because I used lactose-free milk only (no cream) or because I used the pre-shredded gruyere (with that powdered cellulose non-stick coating) & added it too early? Was still tasty but never thickened enough.

In keeping with you, when I was around 10 my father surprised me, for no reason, with a cream-colored Starter-style jacket with thin red stripes around the shoulders and cuffs with a cream-colored hat to coordinate. You couldn't tell me I was the cutest Daddy's Girl walking!!!

Since you and your mom were on the subject, I need you to read this book (doctoral thesis) from a Wayne State prof on why Rosa Parks got shafted & should be known for her intrepid, fearless investigations of the somehow UNKNOWN systematic rapes of Black women in the South!

My first fried eggplant! Inside is soft to the tooth and almost gooey. But the egg, breadcrumbs mixed with parmesan and onion & garlic powders are doing the heavy lifting flavor-wise. These would be an excellent side to wings, mozzarella sticks or other fried appetizers and a sweet wine!
