I almost took a week off. This is hard. This is scary. This is not surprising.
My Dad worked in a grocery store called Liberty Supermarket in Birmingham, Alabama when I was a kid. He had to wear a tie to work as a cashier. Because of my childhood frequent visits to the grocery store, I know the layout of a grocery store pretty well. Thinking about the aisles as hiding places from a domestic terrorist is horrible.
Feeding Hungry Kids
One of the victims of the Buffalo mass shooting was Pearl Young. She was the head of a local food pantry in Buffalo.
In early 1969, there were as many as 45 Black Panther Party chapters in cities and towns all over the country. The Black Panther Party’s programs fed more hungry kids than the state of California at that time.
Read Something, Cook Something
I had curated a great list of cookbooks that you might want to read.
DoorDash Dominates
As far as companies making money from the pandemic goes, one of the winners is DoorDash.
The on-demand delivery company said its order volume grew 23% to 404 million in the first three months of this year compared to the same period in 2021.
Alabama Men
By the way, I have been listening to the Commodores album Midnight Magic from 1979 and I am loving it. ‘Sexy Lady’ is my new jam.
Be gentle with yourselves. Rest.
Have a delicious week,
