I had a lightbulb moment this morning. I have been blogging/writing online for twenty years. However, I have lost content because I have moved from Blogger to Typepad to WordPress with stops to Tumblr and Squarespace. I pay good money to maintain this site so I better use it.
I have been posting weekly over at Substack. Here are the posts for January 2024.
Hey Friends,
I started Nichelle Newsletter over three years ago. I use Substack to publish this newsletter. I have been writing about food and culture on a weekly basis bringing readers news, recipes, tidbits that they can only find in my content.
This week I am launching a premium (paid) version of my newsletter. If you are like me, you have probably paused or even cancel subscriptions to some of the streaming services, because they are not giving what you want. Well, I may not be Netflix or Hulu Plus, but I am offering information about food trends, how to reduce food waste, recipes, and photos of delicious food that will make your mouth water. Here’s the link to subscribe to Nichelle Newsletter. It is only $5/month or $50/year.
Is Gorilla Glue this week’s Game Stop?
I am so glad I have some Bitcoin. I am still not a fan of Elon Musk.
Who will save Britney Spears?
Check out the latest issue of my newsletter, Nichelle Newsletter, where I talk about marinating ground beef in heavy cream, using the convection oven setting on your toaster oven as a air fryer, a list of Black-authored cookbooks, Pinky Cole of Slutty Vegan and more.
Yesterday, I saw this TikTok video from Curly Velasquez. I don’t know them personally, but I know he works with my friend Alexis at Pero, Like. This video is my motivation. Celebrating my friends’ success makes me feel good.
Congrats to Michelle Buteau on her Netflix Special!
Congrats to Cathy Erway on her new book!
Congrats to Rod and Karen on their Spotify deal!
The latest edition of my food and culture newsletter, Nichelle Newsletter is up. It’s between fake fall and second summer. I don’t know why I know so many people who are celebrating a birthday today, but I guess I have a lot of Libras in my life.
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.
I was talking to my sister and I said “Unbothered is best.” Maybe that should be on a t-shirt or a coffee mug.
I am not watching the RNC because I care about myself.
This week’s Nichelle Newsletter is about rotisserie chicken, black chefs and publishing deals, ice cream cocktails.
It’s high Leo season. This week is my mom’s, my sister’s and my aunt’s birthdays. My birthday isn’t until November, but I have to skip it. This is not a great year for celebrations and gatherings.
Anyway, I cooked some chicken on Saturday. This morning, I cooked some onion and garlic hotdogs that I got from 920 Cattle & Company. They’re a farm based in Statesboro and they come down every week to sell at Forsyth Farmers’ Market.
I published the latest edition of Nichelle Newsletter. It’s a good one. It includes to links to Black people in the food and drink world that you haven’t heard of. Check out my Bookshop list, too.
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.
Today I hit publish on another issue of Nichelle Newsletter. Please take a moment to read.
There’s been no Christmas in July. Civil rights leader and representative John Lewis passed away. He means so much to the people of Atlanta and Selma, Alabama. He was Obama’s hero. It’s sad. His colleagues in Washington should do everything to restore the Voting Rights Act to its full strength.
This past week, I have been listening to Jenifer Lewis‘ memoir, The Mother of Black Hollywood. It was so good to hear her narration. I am looking to find another book that I will enjoy on Audible.com
I have been posting a lot of photos on Instagram and I have been enjoying taking photos around Savannah. Follow me on Instagram.
The latest issue of my food and culture newsletter, Nichelle Newsletter, is chock full of Black people. Check it out and enjoy!
