Behold... a bronze bombshell in black and gold in front of a brownstone in Bed-Stuy!
It's Easter, so of course I got up early this morning and made cinnamon rolls from scratch!
They never thought the leopards would eat their face or that @chescaleigh.bsky.social would pen a catchy song about it! Learn more about this talented graphic designer and content creator at ANTISOCIAL: www.antisocial.blog/rage-relief-...
Brunch on Sunday was a sweet and savory affair featuring my signature buttermilk pancakes; a ton of deep-fried, buttermilk-battered fried chicken; bacon, berries and watermelon margs! Also, four bottles of prosecco gave their lives so we could drink, eat, and be merry!
Made a doodle this weekend. Might make another later. #RainbowJenetta #cartoon #doodles #dailydoodle
This creamy lemon pasta I made with wilted spinach, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and pecorino romano cheese was a show-stopper! (And the baked lemon pepper chicken wasn't too bad either!)
While Eric Adams was "in da club," I was in Harlem "in da plant stand" dodging bullets at the Fine Fare on Lenox Avenue Read: www.antisocial.blog/eric-adams-p...
Made this strawberry spoon cake for the first time last night as a quick n' easy dessert and was blown away by how delicious it was! (The recipe is from @nytimes.com cooking.)
Baked a heart-shaped, citrus olive oil cake for Super Bowl Sunday It's already half-gone as of this morning.
Patrick lost, but what I felt most sorry for was his hair. Poor dry, "high body count" hair. Somebody call Angie K and Lisa Barlow #RHOSLC
Also, one week in, and I am not adjusting well to not having something to do every day!
Happy 83rd birthday to this young legend, my father, David C. Belton!
I'm starting to think that vote wasn't about the price of groceries... And by "starting," I mean this was the saddest and most obvious dog whistle ever, yet so many fell for it
Howdy, all — Today is my last day at @huffpost as its 3rd editor-in-chief. It was a tremendous honor, and I will always have the utmost respect for the journalists who work there. The decision to leave was hard (we were facing layoffs; I left to save jobs), but it was the only decision in my mind.
My Grandpa loved Jimmy Carter. Once, when Grandpa visited my dad's work, he wanted to know why they had photos of other former presidents (and the then-current President Ronald Reagan), but not Carter. Later, Grandpa would meet him when the former president came to Arkansas for a fishing trip
Just me, baking pies again, trying to convince myself to start getting ready for a holiday party later this evening!
Had a white Christmas in Woodstock with @mjgmedia.bsky.social ... apologies to this man's waistline with all the food I cooked!
I also have to somehow only make enough food for two people with some leftovers to snack on, but not so many leftovers that it's like I was trying to feed the neighborhood. Can I pull it off? Only time will tell!
I haven't cooked a full, holiday meal in a minute (pictured are past meals), so this takes a certain degree of planning. Plus, @mjgmedia.bsky.social and I are doing one of his family traditions this year — having fried chicken instead of roasting it!
Spending my first Christmas in New York instead of heading home to the Midwest and debating if I should start prepping the cornbread dressing first or make crust/bake an apple pie because cooking an entire holiday meal is a marathon, not a sprint!
This was as fun as the original Oregon Trail game and I think it's hilarious that I, a recovering people pleaser, got this ending: thecorporatetrail.com
Delicious apple pie baking skills ... UNLOCKED! Definitely an A+ for taste/consistency, a C for appearance, but taste matters THE MOST, so this pie was a winner. I can learn how to make prettier crust next time lol
