Hi All,
I early voted, got a flu shot and had a biometric screening on Monday. I feel superior. My cholesterol is good as well as my blood pressure. The one thing I need to work on is my belly fat. I also need more sleep. My insomnia is getting bad again.

It Was The THIrd Of September
Hi ya’ll. We are sweating our way toward Labor Day weekend.
Check out the latest edition of my food and culture newsletter, Nichelle Newsletter. This edition features potato salad, poultry plants and salt for white people.
In addition, check out my podcast Nichelle Newsletter podcast. I talk about seasoning your food.
I am posting again on my personal finance and fintech blog, Keeping Nickels.
Casseroles and Hard Seltzer
The latest issue of Nichelle Newsletter is up. The podcast was crowdsourced by asking people about casseroles. I learned about King Ranch and Chicken Divan from my friends. I also ranted about hard seltzer being nothing more than malt liquor.
I am trying to think of a theme for the next podcast. I may pick from food holidays happening this first week of August.
June 1st: New Month, Still Covid
“My color is a joy, not a burden. ” It’s a quote I got from a book and it is one of my mantras. I tweet it out every afternoon. The tweet is for me not for anyone else, but it’s great someone likes it.
Tip: Direct action includes bailing protestors out of jail. Facebook is the worst way to donate. It takes about a month for people to get the funds. Donate to a bail fund or directly via Venmo, Paypal or CashApp.

I like to take photos of my breakfast. I have a newsletter on Substack, and here’s the text below.
“Good Food Costs Money“
Johno Morisano, the co-owner of The Grey and The Grey Market, said that during a Zoom call. The future of the restaurant industry is in limbo but you can be sure that it will be more expensive to eat out than before the pandemic.

I Have A Podcast
I just started a podcast, y’all. Check out Nichelle Newsletter on Spotify or other podcast platforms. This episode is less than 15 minutes, so give it a listen.
Nichelle Newsletter and Random Thoughts
I am so OVER summer. It’s too hot. It’s record breaking hot. My natural hair will not look decent until after Labor Day.
I appreciate laughter. I love comedy. If I can make someone laugh, I have achieved something.
Gawker.com is dead. I thought I would feel some kind of schadenfreude about the end of that website, but I don’t. It’s the end of a blog era. Now I hope someone writes a really good tell-all book and it becomes a Ryan Murphy tv show called, American Blog. Sean Bean can play Nick Denton.
I am back to creating my Nichelle Newsletter, and I promise weekly updates. Subscribe on Tinyletter. So far, I am done two weeks in a row.
I created a Tumblr for my Savannah photos. My goal is for my Savannah content makes the first page of a Google search for Savannah.
I also did a podcast this week. Check it out on Soundcloud.
Self-Care: Family Dinner and Thrift Store Shopping
I practiced self-care by spending the weekend with my family in Decatur last weekend. I went to the Park Ave Thrift Store in Woodstock with my mom and got lots of stuff for only $26. The cool thing is that I got a bag of silk ties that I using as headbands. I am hard pressed to pay retail after that shopping trip.
I advised my sister to not binge-watch ‘Orange is the New Black” but since I set up the Chromecast in her bedroom, she couldn’t help herself.
My Dad made fried chicken and I helped. In addition, he made candied yams, fried okra, collard greens, cornbread, macaroni and cheese and quick-pickled tomatoes. It was the perfect comfort soul food Sunday family dinner.
Anyway, I just put up an episode of “It’s Nichelle With An N“. Listen to it when you get a chance.
New Podcast: It’s Nichelle With An N
I have dabbled in podcasting off and on for years. I used to use a digital recorder, upload a file and then use some podcasting software to compress to upload to my blog. I have used Odeo’s AudioBlogger, Audioboo, and now I am using Soundcloud. In addition, I have been a guest on a few podcasts, and co-hosted amTWib for three months back in 2013.
So I have done three podcasts so far and you can listen to them.
- July 2nd : Sharon Jones, Leslie Jones, and Leslie Odom, Jr.
- June 29th: Wendy Williams, Jessica Williams, Roy Wood Jr.
- June 27th: Inaugural podcast.
Hot Grease With Nicole Taylor
Today I had the pleasure of being on Nicole Taylor’s show on Heritage Radio Network, “Hot Grease“. We talked and laughed about the latest news in food and hot food topics. The radio studio is in a recycled shipping container in the back of Roberta’s Pizza in Bushwick. There’s a garden and I took a picture of the peppers growing in the backyard.
After the show I ordered the Speckenwolf pizza. I love Speck. It is the bacon of fancypants.
BTW, Nicole and I will be down in Atlanta in December for Lavish. I will be moderating a panel on food trends.
