Today is Pi Day. Friday is St. Patrick’s Day. There will be lots of fun in between. The 31401, the newsletter about Savannah that I co-edit with my friend Tiffany has been going well. We have published a weekly newsletter for over six months. We have over 1000 followers on Instagram and over 200 subscribers on Substack. Check out this week’s newsletter.
I started blogging in 2004. I pay for hosting this site; however I barely use it. I have on my to-do list to write more, so this will be where I will do it.
Things I have to get off my chest:
Velma on HBO MAX is unfunny and awful.
The Gossip Girl reboot writers has no idea what show they are doing. No wonder, the show has been cancelled.
Everyone making jokes about Hank Willis Thomas‘ MLK sculpture in Boston are acting like middle school children.
Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is the ultimate nepo baby.
In this Nichelle Newsletter, I share news about Liquid Death and a sheet pan dessert cookbook.
This week’s newsletter includes tips on preserving your porch pumpkins, Halloween charcuterie and more. Nichelle Newsletter is a free weekly newsletter.
The 31401 has launched. It is a newsletter for people who live and work in Savannah. Check out the first issue and subscribe.
I am launching a new local newsletter with my friend Tiffany. The 31401 will focus on events and community here in Savannah. Check it out and subscribe.
If you google me, and you find this website then I hope that you will also subscribe to my FREE weekly newsletter, Nichelle Newsletter. In this issue, I link to the USPS site for getting at-home tests, the legendary Paschal’s restaurant in Atlanta, cooking mushrooms and more.
I am actively looking to buy a home, and coincidentally I was contacted by a writer friend asking me about Savannah. I have been pre-approved and I am excited to own my own home. Check out this article on Realtor.com
The latest issue of Nichelle Newsletter is up. I was flattered when one of my neighbors here in Savannah mentioned that they read my newsletter. I hope to get more interaction between me and subscribers as the holidays roll up. Halloween candy, Thanksgiving sides, Holiday cooking are great food content. However, I want to write and/or talk about something from personal perspective. For example, I told a friend about how my Dad made frappe with lime sherbet, ginger ale, and sprite for us kids to drink on New Year’s Eve. We would even have it in a punchbowl.
What are some of your holiday traditions, new and old? I think that we will have to start new traditions as the world is forever changed by the pandemic. 700K people have died in the United States.
I recorded the latest episode of my podcast where I talk about vodka and pumpkin spice season. IMHO, vodka is the basic bitch of spirits.
