Why do they think other women’s choices are stopping them from being “traditional” wives? Baby go live your best June Cleaver homemaker life and leave the rest of us alone. Every 3 business days here they come with the revisionists history.

I got a hint on Ancestry that may have led to the discovery of one of my African ancestors. It actually has her birth location listed as Guinea, Africa. That’s where she was born in 1789 and she died in New Orleans in 1834.

My best friend almost lost an ovary because her doctor ignored her complaints about her period pain. She looked at the doctor’s notes and the doc said that she was depressed because she was single. Went to another doctor and discovered she had some huge cysts.

lol. Blackened catfish & grits and sautéed spinach. I ate lots of grits with all sorts of proteins when I was pregnant. It’s quick, delicious, and satisfying. Full of nutrition also. This is probably why my baby prefers savory over sweet flavors.

And I don’t take that for granted. So many connections were severed because family members were sold or ran away during slavery. Poor record keeping. No census data for most until 1870. I am grateful to be able to stitch together so many pieces of my family’s history.

Soak your grits before cooking them. It makes them so much smoother and creamier. Add the same amount of water as grits and let them soak until the water is absorbed. Takes about 15 minutes.

I love her because she’s so damn good at what she does. She can rap her ass off. She’s vocal about important causes. She’s just as intelligent as she is sexy and she shows that you don’t have to compromise one for the other. In her, I see myself when I was in my 20s.

My husband and I are poly and boring lol. We’ve been together almost 9 years and we’ve existed this way with no drama. We feel no need to be advocates for the lifestyle or put others in our business. We’re just doing what works best for us.
polyamory is just literally so boring and the ppl who do it well are like, teachers and doctors and lawyers who’ve been in primary relationships for a decade+ and don’t make tiktoks or talk about it, you’d be shocked how many ppl in your life have open relationship agreements

This was in my memories today. Crawfish étouffée that my mama made for me when I came home to visit. The key to a making a creamy sauce is to let the roux and vegetables cook down for a while. Also, don’t add too much liquid. Most of it should come from the crawfish or shrimp.
