Rest In Peace Christine Cavanaugh

As a 90's kid, there were certain cartoons I grew up with. First, there was Rugrats from Nickelodeon. There was a certain red headed toddler named Chuckie Finster. There was one quote that cartoon character I thought when I got scared something as a child. And the following quote just happened to be: "I'm a big, brave dog."
Then by the time as was 8 years old, I was discovered a channel called Cartoon Network. There was to be a segment called What A Cartoon. That introduced the cartoon Dexter's Laboratory that featured a red haired a boy genius named Dexter who got a sister named Dee Dee tries destroy his secret laboratory. 
When was about 9 years old, my sister, and I when go see a movie called Babe (No, it's not about a movie the baseball player Babe Ruth.) It was about a pig who wanted to be a sheepdog. It's entertaining and fun for the family. I also remember see the sequel Babe: Pig in the Big City, a few years later.
The characters I just mention got one thing in common. They were voiced by voice actress Christine Cavanaugh. Even though I found about her death yesterday, she died on December 22, 2014 at age 51. Detail of her death are unknown for now. 
Rest In Peace
August 16, 1963-December 22, 2014

Fried Chicken and Watermelon

  First of all, I would like to wish you all a Happy Black History Month. There two foods are that have been well known in the black community. Those foods just happened to be fried chicken and watermelon. Whenever you think of these foods, people would think stereotypes of black people. But believe it or not, fried chicken and watermelon has a very interesting history. A history I was surprised to learn about. Fried chicken as a word was first used in 19th century America. However, this food has Scottish and West African origins. The Scottish used cooking technique of called frittering which meant that poultry was coated batter or flour and deep fried in lard. Many peoples of West Africa cooked their chicken palm oil but unlike the Scottish they seasoned their poultry highly. The slavery trade in the American South. African slaves were allowed to raise their own chicken and fried them on special occasions. Both of the cooking techniques from the Scottish and West Africans we used ...

 It was a day I will never forget. In fact, it was a day the whole world never forgot.  It was so shocking that the internet crashed. On that day, Farrah Fawcett died after her battle with cancer. But nothing prepared me for the shock I was going to happen in for a few hours later. My mom was picking me up from the university library when she told me that Michael Jackson had a heart attack. At first, I thought it was a rumor since there were a lot of rumors about him anyway. By the time we got home, I turned on the TV and saw the horrible news. I remember dropping the remote control. My sister called and thought I was having a nervous breakdown. I remember going to the local mall that Saturday hearing his music in the hall and in some stores. FYE ran out of Michael Jackson's and his family's music. That Sunday was when the 2009 BET Awards were happening they had to switch things to focus on Michael Jackson. It's been 15 years since I got one of the biggest shocks of my life...
