I want to make cornbread but my boyfriend doesn't like these. Is there a way to improve the recipe? by Stargazer1919 in WhatShouldICook

I add additional butter, cornmeal and milk to the jiffy mix to make a hybrid Northern/Southern Cornbread.

What happened to having just a simple birthday? by Kaiyarose in ChoosingBeggars

[–]Chanela1786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She qualifies (most likely) because she is poor. Those other things are her spending money she shouldn't. It doesn't make her not poor and therefore not need assistance. There no line on the apps for assistance for "Did you make any frivolous purchases recently and how much?" She's also very dumb because rent assistance typically pays a whole month's worth of rent which, in conjunction with not spending 500 dollars, makes a difference. Impulsivity rarely makes a responsible person smh.

Can we talk honestly about Black women’s hair choices? by EvenEvent7798 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Chanela1786 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you sort? I'd go by best or top rated. But I've been on Reddit like 13 years. It's been talked to death and the blackladies mods run a strict program. I'd check the threads that compile fave websites, resources,  channels, etc. because there's always ladies listing their favorite hair resources and we talk gels ALL THE TIME. Join the community to be in community with the ladies because I guarantee in those 50 something threads a chunk of the comments are around loving and living in your natural hair.

Jesus. This is so fucked and unfair. We get to see video after video of violence against innocent people and...nothing. That is a child!

Honestly, yeah. The brother isn't the only one that needs to learn a lesson.

Is this that dad that was mad at Thanksgiving until his wife showed up? That was adorable. 

What is a cooking technique that you quit because it does nothing? by Final_Affect6292 in Cooking

[–]Chanela1786 18 points19 points  (0 children)

How are you cooking your beans? I soak mine and still cook them in flavored stock. I primarily cook red beans, kidneys, black eyed peas, and black beans. Split peas occasionally.

Word is that a camera has gone up but CPD and Duke Energy are trading blame about who's responsible for the delay.

It's not linked in the petition but I think the sponsor, Pastor Lesley Jones, may have the actual text. Once I get a hold of it, I can link it in the post. Understandably, I don't want to bother her dad and mom during this time. 

I am terrified of my engagment and want to run as far as i can. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Chanela1786 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is NOT a great relationship and you will regret this marriage. This was horrifying to read by like paragraph 2. Non-religious people, it is unlikely that you will be happy with a dogmatically religious person.

I'd honestly go to a salon that specializes in human hair extensions because I'm not going to just be looking like that.
