Weather is changing so I plucked one of these from the tree in the pot cause it’s almost time to take the outside trees in. It peeled really well and tastes like a lemon. It’s supposed turn orange but I think I’ll harvest them all and use it for the acid for the dinner later his month. I’ll also be putting peppers on the grill and I gotta remember to reach out to my farmer friends for all the good things that we will be making for yall. If you haven’t gotten a ticket yet go buy it before everyone is gone. www.farmingfoodways.com Gnarled Oak Farm | Regenerative Meats | Hernando, MS we have a few more animals that want to hang out with yall. Be safe out there this weekend. Make good decisions ✌🏾

It’s the last one!!! Come hang with us Gnarled Oak Farm | Regenerative Meats | Hernando, MS for a feast!!! My fav thing when I’m home is to go eat food from the grill. We’re doing that. Making akara, making masa, and all kinds of incredible veggies from farmer friends. It is going to be a smores party with our board ingredients getting roasted over the fire place. It’s one of the ones I legit want to be a guest to. So maybe I’ll push someone off their chair and at the end and pretend I’m a guest. Ya know when wifey is doing dessert. So buy your tickets and come hang with us and all the new animals we have on the farm ✌🏾

Tins I’ve been doing. Spent the day baking/resting some more and still kinda cleaning my house. Harvested some of egusi. I wanna crack them so they can start fermenting but I think I’ll wait for rest to ripen so I’m dealing with one stinky situation instead of two. Def getting that bird as my next tattoo. Been listening the podcast app on all my runs. The daily by NYT has a story on the Cornell 7, it’s fascinating. Listening to Mahmoud Khalil be interviewed by Tonya on fresh air. I only made it to 4 miles cause it rained and is cool but humid as s**t. Anyways long ferment is over I’m going to be oven baking and running children errands today. Make good decisions. I need to teach my girl children and nieces never to say the words “it’s fine” it’s something we lean into so much when we don’t want to cause any issues ✌🏾

Finally got on the road today. I hadn’t gone in 4 days😱 been a while I’ve been that long and I’m not hurting or sick. I’m off baking today and I can’t even flak out and change my mind cause I don’t have enough starter to make a significant difference so I think I sub consciously forced myself to stick to my no work goal. Anyways feel great, now I need to deep clean my house and do all the chores on my calendar cause my kids and hubs have a long list and never fail to remind me that my first job is them🙄 I hope yall are having an incredible week so far. Be good and make good decisions ✌🏾

One of the people that I feel so drawn to in my life having come here to the US as a young adult years ago is Edna Lewis. Her bravery to migrate and pave her own path while moving through different careers and showing how all encompassing she was as a black woman. I grew up surrounded by food and women who cooked for parties that my mother would constantly have when I was growing up. I’d take over certain aspects of the food as I got older and bolder. Edna Lewis traveled, far but took her culture and her identity and exhibited it through the foodways of the South. I became an Edna Lewis scholar a year ago and one of the ways that gimbiaskitchen has represented west African food is to make our guests feel always like they are transported home so they feel the essence of our dishes. We would never have been able to bring these clay dishes made from the city that I live in, if we had not gotten help from the Edna Lewis Foundation it makes a difference when there are organizations like this striving to see the success of people like me. It’s like throwing little pebbles of Edna all around the country. Come hang out with me and some incredible chefs Big Jones on the 11th of Oct as we raise money so more chefs and farmers and people that want to highlight our foodways can have access to help. Cause it makes such a massive difference and how do we not want to use food especially at this time to soro soke (speak out loud) ✌🏾

It’s crazy how you raise kids and they go off to live their lives. You hope you are always in their head guiding them and that your words live with them as they make decisions. Was in Texas this weekend for one of the coolest days of my life. I swear I love my kids, the ones I birthed and the ones I helped raise. Loved going and seeing the pictures of my in-laws at an altar so they can be seen and remembered even though they were not there. I was very close to my mother in law and also almost as close to a friend that passed a few weeks ago. It’s been an emotional year of loss and marriage and happiness and deep deep sadness. I hope I am honoring everyone in the way that I am and the way that I show up in life. Day before food truck is always chaotic in this micro bakery of mine and I have to catch up with orders from customers who messaged me while I was away. And for the Fam Fam.. anyways hope everyone is doing well. Yall don’t forget to go to www.farmingfoodways.com/events website to order your tickets. Make good decisions ✌🏾

It’s Almost October. The October dinner is probs our last for the year. In Northern Nigeria we celebrate the end of the farming year and the beginning of the fishing season with the celebration and a festival called Argungu. This next dinner is going to be that for us. It’s the end of the season and we’re having the dinner be a seafood centered dinner and lamb from Gnarled Oak Farm | Regenerative Meats | Hernando, MS of course. We’ll have a massive grill out and almost everything will be served from there. Everytime I walk the streets in Naija u come across people grilling fresh fish in spicy sauces, grilling lamb (balangu)with spicy Yaji where the taste of the kulikuki ( fried peanut snacks) give a unique flavor. We’ll roast peppers make sauces and have the very best time outside while we watch the cows, peacocks and maybe get a glance of peanut. A chance to feed him while we use the fire pit to grill the ingredients that are on the board as yall get to know each other. We cannot wait to see yall and to hang out and also a chance to say thank you, cause this has been our most successful year and we know it’ll only get better as you all journey with us. Go to the gnarledoak website and purchase your tickets ✌🏾 📸 art by Apooyin Mufutau
