DAMN!!!!! I cannot believe my eyes. I am definitely a hater who has to sit down. :)

Love you sis!

identitycrisis said...

I have just a little more hate left in me. Where is the evidence that YOU actually COOKED this meal and that it was edible?

Just kidding. I'm done hating. You have shown that you can do it all, including video editing. You go, you strong, bougie, domestic princess of a bad black girl you.

Smooches.

The Maven said...

See, black women tearing other black women down! lol

Crisis, I can provide official testimony to both the authenticity of my cooking and to its edibleness. Cuz it was great!!!!

But Yes next time, I will make sure there is actual "action" footage and BBG group appointed taster to validate the "bomb" factor of the meal...cuz my stuff was on point!lol My kitchen looked like a Tyler Perry movie! =)

You all would have been proud of me, I'm sure. Plus it is a great feeling to cook a meal then do a video short about it! lol

So who else cooked, since we were talking about me.... hmmmm???? Or did yal just get your grub on and not put in work????

Um. I don't cook Thanksgiving dinner. Me and Mr. just had this conversation. And it is official. No Thanksgiving dinner Ever.

But I could contribute something to someone else meal. Or my own. :)

My mom and aunt cooked. and it was DA BOMB. YUM

identitycrisis said...

Um, when did we start using "bomb" again?

You caught me. I told BL that as long as my mom and grandma are cooking (and I'm in town or within a reasonable driving distance) then I am not. Maybe when I move or something I will cook, but I might just go to The Maven's crib and grub. Just for proof, of course.

BLACK LILY said...

OH! AND THE FOOD LOOKS REALLY GOOD! WORK IT OUT GIRL! I AM GLAD THAT THERE ARE BBGS OUT THERE THAT CAN COOK... CAUSE I AINT ONE OF THEM! THE MAVEN AND IC YALL GOT THE GURU STATUS THERE!

I cooked the Mac & Cheese (my staple) and I made mashed sweet potatoes. We usually just do candied yams so we got to arguing about what to call them. I said mashed sweet potatoes. My grandma said sweet potato pudding, then my auntie says her second husband's mom used to make that and she called it sweet potato poon. (Um wth, auntie, even if that's the name I'm not calling it that).

Whatever, it was off the chain and I'm eating some right now.

I might do the greens next year. I'm trying to work myself up to a full meal, then y'all can stop by my crib for leftovers. :)

La Bella said...

lol. WOW. This whole video thing is pretty cool Maven. Can someone who knows how to cook give some BBG lessons?? hook a sistah up! Maven, I feel your pain on the "haters" out there. In my case people automatically assume either 1) I naturally should be able to throw down in the kitchen just BECAUSE I'm from the south or 2) I can't cook a thing because I'm too much of a princess. First of all, just because I'm from the south doesn't mean i spent all my time in the kitchen learning the creole cuisine LOL! daaamn. i was doing more fun things like drinking hand grenades on bourbon and shakin' it in the house of blues on Thursday nights... Why all the pressure to be a freakin' cook??! Secondly, who said fly girls can't cook? I mean...I don't..but that doesnt mean i "can't". I just choose to spend my time doing other things....right Black Lily?!
And as you probably already guessed, I did NOT cook on t-day and instead spent the evening at the bf's house. Although tomorrow, i plan on cooking gumbo! ok yes..thats the only real southern dish i cook....i can't wait!

La Bella said...

oh wait..and Kis' comment about "I don't COOK thanksgiving dinner" reminded me of Boogie's rants about "not cooking breakfast"..... I DON'T cook breakfast... I DON'T!

Anonymous said...

dang, girl that food looked SO GOOD. my mouth is watering, literally.

and coop does not cook.

Kismet Nuñez said...

LOL!!!!

Salud to all the BBGs who CAN cook...but DON'T!

And to those that do, more power to you as well.

Um, La Bella, weren't you getting down with some gumbo last time I talked to you? Yeeeaaaaaaaaaah

ok, I am sooo mad i have missed the commentary! UGH!

1. Austyn, i'mma hate just a tad longer. i'm sorry, ma, but i know you can get half these items @ the honey-baked ham store. i know this b/c my mom sends me every year to pick up the small swine. ;)

2. i can cook. i like to cook. however, i DO NOT enjoy the pressure of cooking for multitudes on THE biggest eating day of the year. i'm REAL cool on that. so, like most of you, we can add breakfast to the list of items "i don't cook."

3. if Lady O ain't cookin' you KNOW i ain't. i feel confirmed in my convictions.

thanks! (for coop)

@ kis, moms says once you have some of Mr.'s babies, you'll be all up and through that kitchen. not that it was really ever up for consideration. he IS a bruh from the south...they DON'T play when it comes to food. you know moms keeps it real, too.
