Instagram Photo Challenge #JunePhotoADay

Yes. I am trying once again. In fact, I already posted today’s photo on Instagram, so I’m ahead of the game.

The list of challenges is above. Again, shout out to FatMumSlim, whomever she is, for coming up with these creative challenges.

Instagram Photo Challenge #MayPhotoADay

The truth is, you people are much better at doing the Instagram Photo Challenges than I am. Twice I’ve vowed to participate; twice I’ve failed. Woe is most assuredly me.

But since I know y’all are gearing up for May, I wanted to share the list of challenges with you. Shout out to FatMumSlim, whomever she is, for coming up with these truly creative challenges.

Instagram Photo Challenge #AprilPhotoADay

Yes, I failed last month’s challenge something terrible. But this month I’ve been doing much better. Below are the pics I’ve so far taken for the Instagram #AprilPhotoAMonth Photo Challenge. Since they’ve opened the flood gates and the whole goddamn world is on Instagram now, there’s really only one thing to do: LET’S GET IT!

The Fort Greene Smack & Cheese Competition (Pics & Video)

Yesterday, a small gathering of friends convened at an undisclosed location in Brooklyn for The First & Only Mac & Cheese Throwdown, or what I’ve decided to call The Fort Green Smack & Cheese Competition. The competition arose due to “a lot of smack talkin’ by a lot of folks” and the winner would walk away with bragging rights.

There were three entrants: my friends Cynthia, Jonathan, and Sean. Each person prepared unique and delicious takes on the dish. Dishes were judged on three official criteria (taste, presentation, innovation) and one unofficial (comfort). So, who won? Hell, if you ask me, since those in attendance were fortunate enough to taste each offering, we were all winners.

Oh, but you want to know who won the competition? Well, just check out the video above. Then hit the jump for additional photos.

Sometimes, I do miss Miami.

Nothing to see here, just a couple of recent shots of me, having fun with the Family at Olea Mediterranean Taverna in Fort Greene.

Saw this piece on the side of a stoop on Lafayette Avenue earlier today. Don’t know why but it made me stop and really study it for a while. It’s pretty dope if you ask me.
