Yes, it’s that day again – 60 years ago now.\u00a0 I was thinking about that recently in connection with an article on whether we shoould require the release of medical records by all candidates for President (along with tax records.)\u00a0 Sounds like a good idea, doesn’t it?\u00a0 But I have very mixed feelings about it.<\/p>\n
In any case, before it’s too late, I want to share this cautionary article for anyone who might be honored by being invited to a Black Thanksgiving dinner but not know much about Black food culture in particular.\u00a0 It gave me some chuckles, a couple of gag reflexes, and a few surprises.<\/p>\n
The Root – 17 Dishes You BET NOT Bring to a Black Thanksgiving<\/a><\/p>\n #4 – Green Bean Casseerole.\u00a0 Amongst the several polls I sent out requesting ideas for this list, this abomination was at the top. The only acceptable form of green beans is with smoked turkey neck and potatoes. Why is it a trend to make this a casserole?<\/p>\n #6\u00a0 – Potato Salad with Raisins<\/p>\n Matter fact, keep anything you got with raisins in it. Keep ya potato salad, ya pasta salad, macaroni salad and the criminal attempt at a pan of macaroni and cheese if it has raisins. You\u00a0must\u00a0<\/em>do time over this.<\/p>\n 15 – Gelatin-Based Oddities<\/p>\n We\u2019re wayyy past that odd 1980s moment when everything edible was put in gelatin. Leave it alone, babes..unless it\u2019s Jell-O shots. Those are always welcome.<\/p>\n Yes, there are more.\u00a0 And pictures.\u00a0 I hope you get some laughs too.<\/p>\n Personal Update:\u00a0 I have had one contractor here and have a contract for that service – which kind of has to be, maybe not done, but at least under weigh before I can do much else.\u00a0 At least I am getting more confident getting around the house, and that’s a good thing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yes, it’s that day again – 60 years ago now.\u00a0 I was thinking about that recently in connection with an article on whether we shoould require the release of medical records by all candidates for President (along with tax records.)\u00a0 Sounds like a good idea, doesn’t it?\u00a0 But I have very mixed feelings about it.
