I got boosted and it’s kicking my butt. Yesterday, I spent the whole day in bed with chills and a headache.
Cookies and Cream
There are so many cookies in my house. People keep gifting me with Christmas cookies. My sister told me about Jermaine Dupri’s vegan ice cream which is made from coconut cream. If you are curious enough to try it, then you can buy it at Wal-Mart.
The Black History of Eggnog
Cato Alexander, a free Black man, popularized eggnog in New York in the 1800’s.
Black Butterfly
Apparently, the publishing world is finally embracing Black cookbooks. Between Toni Tipton Martin, Bryant Terry and others, cookbook publishers and food media are recognizing the talent of Black folks. I just hope that it moves well beyond soul food.
Seven
The Feast of the Seven Fishes is a uniquely Italian American holiday meal. It is celebrated on Christmas Eve and it is a treat for any pescatarian. I personally think that seafood and fish should be more prominent during the holidays, but it seems that only oysters are featured around this time of the year.
Stay in bed! Drink hot toddies!
Feel better soon!
