A steady week with lots of words, aka, my kind of week. I also watched an absolute ton of Bargain Mansion on HGTV, and now I want to paint an accent wall in my office. I walked Poppy, our foster dog. On the topic of current events, I’m not giving myself a pat on the back, but I was able to have a conversation this week with a friend and WOC who basically said, ‘thanks.’ I think she was awesome to say so, especially after some of the stuff she’s been through, and I hope to continue to use my networks to reach others. Sometimes I think I’m shouting into a void.
- A great list of Black food bloggers. (And some Black restaurants, while we’re at it).
- A reading list for learning about race and food.
- Being Black in the world of wine. (Tip to Rebecca for this one).
- The small silver lining of COVID? No more buffets!
- If you can’t go to Ravis for a meal, how about buying a shirt? (50% of profits go to the restaurant – we got ours last week).
- Google Maps alerts travelers about pandemic related restrictions.
- Glad to see Bon Appetit making some progress (and a bit horrified of the treatment of some of their staff in the past).
- What’s the difference between baby back ribs and spare ribs?
- Have meal kits made you a better cook?
- How does one safely eat in a restaurant during a pandemic?
- World’s 50 Best, Dubai Discovery edition. Thoughts, I have them. Feel free to give me a shout to discuss further.
- Similar to above, spring onions vs. scallions vs green onions.
- I will be curious to see how this conversation plays out.
- I was on the radio! Listen to me here.
Hubs and I were invited to Khyber this weekend, so why not…? Book club will also be in session on Sunday, our first since early March.
What are you up to this weekend?
