I’ve decided to start sharing my recipes here on Tumblr and at a later date I’ll also start Ustreaming while I cook. Here’s the recipe to my delicous Salmon Spinach Omelette that I devoured this morning.  Salmon Spinach Omelette Ingredients 1 Wild Salmon Filet 3 Eggs 1 Cup of Fresh Spinach 1/4 Cup of Diced Onion 2 Slices of Grated Sargento Colby-Jack Cheese 1 Lemon 1 Spoonful of Butter No Stick Cooking Spray Marcum Lemon Pepper Salt-Free Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper Salt-Free Mrs. Dash Onion & Herb McCormick Perfect Pinch Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning Ground Black Pepper   Before you start mixing your eggs you must prepare your salmon. Take a  small cast iron skillet and line it with 1 spoonful of butter.  Place the salmon in the pan and squeeze juice from your fresh lemon. You must squeeze enough juice so that it completely covers the bottom of the pan. Lightly sprinkle the Salt Free Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper on top of the salmon. (The salmon shouldn’t be fully covered with this lemon pepper). Sprinkle the Marcum Lemon Pepper completely over the salmon.  Place the salmon to the side and turn your oven to custom broil. Crack your eggs into a small mixing bowl.  Add the onions. Add the spinach. Add sprinkles of ground black pepper and  Salt Free Mrs. Dash Onion & Herb to your liking.  Begin to  grate the Sargento Colby-Jack Cheese into the bowl. After you’re done grating the cheese into the bowl take a fork and scramble the eggs, seasoning, spinach, onions, and cheese together.  Set the bowl aside. Place your salmon in the oven broiler for 5-7 minutes.  Once the salmon is done place the fillet in the bowl of egg mixture.  Take the fork and mash the salmon until it’s no longer whole. Take the left over butter and seasoning from the pan and pour it into the bowl. Take a fork and mix the contents of the bowl together. Take a skillet and spray it with no stick cooking spray. Turn the stove on low and pour the contents of the bowl into the skillet. Once the egg mixture begins to almost cook fully, lightly sprinkle the McCormick Perfect Pinch Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning amongst the egg mixture.  Flip half of the egg mixture onto the other side and let it cook fully. Once it’s fully cooked take it out of the skillet and enjoy.

It’s been exactly two weeks since I’ve relocated to New York City from Detroit. I must say that I am loving my unofficial welcoming committee. So far since I’ve been here I was invited to Hanifah Walidah’s Rivers of Honey show, Tia Fuller’s set at the New York Winter Jazz Festival, brunch at Rustik Tavern in Brooklyn, and to a viewing party for The Game. I must say that I am a tad bit overwhelmed by the abundance of love that I’ve been shown since I’ve been here. I’m not surprised though being that I’ve kept in touch with a handful of really dope movers and shakers who happen to either be in the same career field as I am, share the same interests, or both.  Immediately when I walked into the door at the Wow Cafe Theatre for the Rivers of Honey show I felt a very warm ambiance. The intimate room was packed with tons of beautiful queer women of color, many of which were very talented. I was very excited to see Hanifah Walidah perform a few songs off of her new project. I had saw a documentary based around the filming of a video of hers a while back on Logo. So it was great to see her perform in person so soon post my arrival in NYC. I was also very excited after watching a poet/emcee by the name of Dappho the Flow-Er from Washington D.C. Her song “Glow” that she performed instantly made me a fan. As well as a very comedic and cute song “Why Do I Love Her” that she performed with her group member Solsis for their group called SolRose. It was the cutest thing ever and I’m upset that I didn’t record it. Blue Nefertiti aka Celia of Les Nubians also captured my heart while performing her song “Paris”. I’ll be honest. I was just very excited to hear a live song in French. I was very disappointed that my 5 years of French in grade school did me no justice. I didn’t understand one word but, that didn’t take away from the beauty of the performance. There were many other talented people that performed that night but, this post is already long enough and I’d like to talk about the other wonderful experiences that I’ve had so far. First off, prior to attending the NY Winter Jazz Festival I had no idea who Tia Fuller was besides the fact that she is the saxophone player in Beyonce’s all female band. Surprisingly being the feminist that I am Tia is the only female saxophone player that I’m familiar with. Being even more honest the only saxophone players whose music I am familiar with are Boney James and Everett Harp.  So I’m more than grateful that I had a chance to become more familiar with Tia’s music. I must say that the experience was phenomenal. I have literally never seen a woman play a saxophone the way that Tia Fuller does. I have video that I’ll post later.  Moving away from the two shows that I attended I can’t forget to mention Brunch at Rustik Tavern in Brooklyn. The food was delicious. I ordered shrimp and grits and they were the most savory cheese grits I’ve ever consumed. I will definitely try to recreate the dish at home sometime soon. In addition to the great food I can’t forget about the great accomplished women that I dined and conversed with for four hours. So big shoutout to Tasty Keish for inviting me. Also, another big shout out to my good friend Bella who came down from Philadelphia and accompanied me.  Last but,not least I am very excited about attending this viewing party for The Gametomorrow. Last weekend I made my girlfriend sit through almost a 6 hour marathon on BET so that I could play catch up. So I’m more than ready to see how BET has chosen to continue the lives of Melanie, Derwin, Tasha, Malik, Kelly, and Jason.  I don’t want to make this post any longer than what it already is so I’ll stop here. I promise to blog more frequently and keep my fellow tumblr friends updated on how I feel about my new place of residence.

A few days ago I was interviewed by Kim Foster of Fuchsia Media in regards to my blog, The Fembassy. Besides discussing The Fembassy and women in Hip Hop we also  discussed:  Are women’s voices undervalued online? Why it’s necessary for us to create alternative spaces. How The Web is leveling the playing field for women and minority media entrepreneurs.  Check out the full interview here.
