Five Things You Might Not Know About booker ml


Interesting:

1. I learned how to cook a scrambled egg in March of 2020 when we first shut in during Covid. What’s interesting about is, I could never cook any type of egg except boiled. I was so excited that I took a picture of the egg in the pan and thus started my survival mode. I then went to the grocery story and spent $126 on groceries for the first time that I have been on my own for over 30 years. I was in survival mode and realized that my normal way of eating was temporary on hold. Usually, my friends cooked extra portions for me, I did take out; and was a microwave queen. Now I have added a few other dishes that I can cook for myself, I wouldn’t share them with anyone else because they probably lack taste but for me, they are fine.

Edifying:

2. When the Voting Acts Right was signed August 6, 1965. My mom, aunt, siblings, and cousins and I were visiting the White House. I have a picture of me sitting on the lap of President Lyndon Banes Johnson sucking my thumb literally moments after he signed the Voting Rights Acts. When Congressman John Lewis passed last year, I then realized how important that day was and I will always be a part of that history.

Fun:

3. February, 2014 I hosted an Indoor Carnival Themed 50th birthday party with 250 guests from a list of 275 notwithstanding snow. I had 5 food stations (breakfast, barbeque, dessert table, junk food, cook out table). I created most of my games like the toilet paper toss, very successful, spinning the wheel. I had live entertainment with two choirs from Philadelphia, a local group from my home town, and soloists. I emceed the entire party in a ridiculous outfit looking like a clown and was also my own DJ. I had the best birthday cake freshly made strawberry lemon that cost me $820.00. The cake was my favorite meal, a rack of ribs, a plate of French fries, a slice of sweet potato pie, a buttered roll and a Sunkist orange soda. Everything was edible include the tray. The baker also made packs of catsup and butter. I actually still have pieces of this cake in the freezer and huge picture on my wall. People are still asking me when am I going to have another carnival party. I have been the recipient of 6 surprised birthday parties. Most people don’t have any.

4. I love French Fries so much that when I left my job as an Office Manager in 2004, my supervisor, staff, and peers took me to the Olive Garden for lunch and when I returned from the restroom, there was a plate of French Fries waiting for me. Dr. Byington had requested that they cook French Fries because everyone who knows me knows that I can eat French Fries anytime. In 2004 the Olive Garden was not selling French Fries they made them especially for me.

Embarrassing

5. I don’t believe in wasting anything, I believe in recycling almost anything. It is a known fact I can’t cook. One day about 5 years ago, I was looking through my freezer and saw a bag of frozen beef tips. I decided I would have the meat for dinner because I had a box of bag rice in the cabinet. I was excited about my meal. I had an event at my house and my sister she always does bags of left overs and places them in the freezer for me to heat up later.

When I got home, I read the directions and boiled the rice. While the rice was boiling, I decided to cut the meat so I could mix it in my rice. As I begin to cut the meat, I noticed how easy it to cut the meat with my knife. I was so excited and greedy that decided to take a bite of beef cubes before heating and mixing with my rice. To my surprise I was not cutting up beef, I was cutting up brownies; they were both brown in color. I thought to myself, how nasty that would have been had I mixed with rice. I thought to myself, “girl you are sad.” I was so disappointed; I don’t know what I ate that night. I called my sister and she said “girl don’t you know the difference?” My response was, I thought it was beef.

Have you ever said to someone, "I'm not a mind reader?" Or, have you ever been told, "You know I can't read your mind?" It's Not About Me - It's About Them leaves nothing for the imagination when something needs to be SAID.

It's not about DYING, it's about LIVING and preserving your memory.
