INGREDIENTS 1 egg 2/3 cup granulated sugar 1/3 cup oil 3/4 cup flour 1/4 tsp baking powder 1/3 cup sprinkles (or amount to your liking) DIRECTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 375F. Mix together the egg and sugar. Make sure to whisk them together really well, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the eggs turn a light pale color, about 5 minutes. This will create sort of a meringue that will help form a crackly top on the blondie!

In a new interview promoting her skincare brand, Rhode, and its hero products, Glazing Milk (an essence) and Peptide Glazing Fluid (a moisturizer), Hailey Bieber tells the Cut she likes to look as gooey as a glazed donut. “I want someone to want to take a bite out of my skin,” she explains. “I want you to want to bite me because it looks so delicious that you can’t resist.”

From a pint of bitters in an English pub to a bitter green salad or, of course, bitters themselves, we recognize the value of bitterness to bring balance and complexity to a dish. But in the western world at least, we tend to think of it as most desirable in the background. Our English definitions of bitterness are a bit harsh. Merriam-Webster, for examp… ncG1vNJzZmiqn6TBrLXTnJ%2BepqNjwLau0q2YnKNemLyue89omaKspJq%2F

What up y’all! Before we get into today’s piece just wanted to let you know that SNOBHOP has officially jumped into the world of podcasting. The first episode featuring Dean Jackson of Culture Hause and can be found below: With that said, I hope you check it out. Now, let’s get into today’s piece… Today, August 11, 2023 will mark the official 50th anniversary of the founding of Hip-Hop.

Welcome back to my “Black Film Streaming Pick” series, a continuous column about Black films currently available on streaming platforms. If you haven’t already, take a look at my last pick: Billy Woodberry’s slice of life indie set in Watts during the late 1970s — Bless Their Little Hearts, which is still available on the Criterion Channel. For this edition I decided to highlight a Diana Ross classic: Mahogany.

Yes, it's a little early to start thinking about holiday gifts, at least if you're waiting for the annual Black Friday sales to start...or is it? Doing a quick survey of popular shopping sites, Best Buy, Walmart and Target are already hawking Black Friday deals. Amazon is a little more low-key, with a soft launch for what it calls "Holiday Deals" right now.  This echoes what I've said in previous years, that Black Friday and its awkwardly named cousin, Cyber Monday, have expanded like an out-of-control lab experiment, growing to fill every nook and cranny of the post-Halloween season.

It’s time again to celebrate a month that not very many people know about. June is Black Music Month, which started in 1979 with a celebration on President Jimmy Carter’s White House lawn. President Obama changed the name to the much less catchy African American Music Appreciation Month, and this year, the month that many still call Black Music Month turns 44. Last year I had the honor of co-founder Dyana Williams hosting my Philadelphia book event.

In early April, Pharrell Williams released a 10-song album called Black Yacht Rock, Vol. 1: City of Limitless Access. The record appeared without notice on the website blackyachtrock.com, where it remains available to download for free.   Seeing the title Black Yacht Rock, one could reasonably expect Williams to be drawing on the likes of Quincy Jones, Al Jarreau, and Earth, Wind & Fire. And while the album has some slick Rhodes tones, shuffling grooves, and lyrical references to conch shells and “margarita time,” it ain’t exactly George Benson’s Breezin’.
