Dope Silent Music Party

Enjoying my 1st silent music party      I finally had the opportunity to attend a silent music party held at our favorite community gathering spot. What was so unique and different about this silent music party was that there were three different DJ’s playing three different genres of music in three different rooms. Each station was set by a different color (red, blue, and green) on our headphones. We had the option of listening to Reggae, R&B, or Rap. I’m a lover of all three genres so I kept constantly switching back and forth between all three stations.      This event was sponsored by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) for International Condom Week 2020. Awesome event! Shoutout to Timothy Webb and his team. He mixed in speed dating in one of the rooms gathering participants from a certain station. Important HIV educational facts were mixed in with the R&B station which I thought was an awesome idea of educating the community.   ...

Cast-Iron Cookware

If your grandmother, mother, or aunt prepared meals using a cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven pot you knew that meal was heaven blessed. There were plenty of Sunday dinners spent with families sharing love and a meal prepared from one cast-iron skillet. You can use it to cook your vegetables, fry your chicken or fish, and bake your bread. This is an old kitchen secret weapon many people don’t make use of nowadays. I grew up watching my grandmother prepare plenty of meals using her cast-iron collection. She had skillets in all sizes. My favorite one was the small one you could fry 1-2 eggs in. And after using any one of her cast-iron dishes you better clean them properly or prepare to hear her wrath. In honor of this being Black History Month, we should start gathering more around the table to spend time away from the tv, digital and electronic devices to spend more time with our loved ones. Time is of the essence. Remember I LOVE YOU!!!!!
