Kim Kardashian Hits Lakers Game With Halle Berry’s Ex Gabriel Aubry. Oooh no wonder he’s cool about Olivier Martinez…
By CJ Rutter on Monday 22nd November 2010
WENN.com
Kim Kardashian had jaws dropping yet again and this time it wasn’t because of what she was wearing, but it was who she was with!
The 30-year-old watched the LA Lakers game with Halle Berry’s ex-partner Gabriel Aubry.
Kimmy tweeted that she was going to the game to support her sister Khloe’s husband, Lamar Odom, but it turns out that Kimmy Cake’s had her eyes on another man.
Greens are my forte. Get some smoked turkey, wings, necks, butt, don’t matter. Put the turkey in the pot with enough water to cover. Let that cook (on medium low) until the water is looking cloudy. Put the greens in the pot and let them cook down. Keep adding and letting them cook down until you’ve got them all in. Then you season them. I use seasoning salt, adobe and crushed red peppers. No measurements, just till they taste good to you. Then I add a couple of capfuls of apple cider vinegar. Take a butter knife and stick it in a box of baking soda. Shake off all that doesn’t cling to the knife and stick the knife in the greens. This will make sure they are nice and tender. Turn the heat down low and let them cook as long as you like.
YLY….THANK YOU LOVE! So I don’t need to add water after I cook the meat?
You shouldn’t have to, but keep an eye on them. If the water looks too low, add just a little.
YLY – you can’t just use like an 1/8th of a teaspoon? That butter knife measurement sounds pretty funny!
Letmein – I don’t make sweet potato pies or greens but I can tell you how to make mashed potatoes
I handle the potatoes and the desserts for my fam.
Lovely…I took your advise on mashed potatoes last year and my fam loved them!
Jacque – Gabriel IS fine… Go Kimme! It’s nice to see she doesn’t ‘only’ date black men.
I’m actually addicted to the Kardashian shows.
Lovely…I don’t know nothing about measuring the baking soda. Why mess with what works? LOL
BOSTON (AP)– After a 3-year-old Boston girl complained that her foot hurt, her preschool teacher took off her sneaker and found 17 small plastic bags containing crack cocaine.
Police say teachers at the Walnut Grove preschool were adjusting the girl’s sneaker Monday when they found the individually wrapped bags of crack.
The teachers told police the girl said her mother had put “candy” inside her sneaker.
But the girl’s mother told police she knew nothing about the drugs. Police arrested 19-year-old Demare Gary, a friend of the mother’s, after he allegedly told police the crack was his.
The mother was not arrested, but police said the investigation is continuing. Gary’s attorney, Lauren Redmond, was in court and couldn’t immediately comment.
*SMH, what if that little girl had eaten the “candy”?*
Letmein – awwwwwwwwww!! That actually made me feel REAL special. Nobody has every loved anything I’ve cooked (except the man and I think he’s lying).
Everybody loves my desserts but most folks would pass on my ‘real’ food.
Heard this story on the radio and thought about YLawdY. Isn’t he in your neck of the woods YLawdY?

NEPTUNE TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A New Jersey pastor who said Facebook was a “portal to infidelity” and told married church leaders to delete their accounts or resign once testified that he had a three-way sexual relationship with his wife and a male church assistant.
In Saturday editions of the Asbury Park Press, the Rev. Cedric Miller confirmed the testimony he gave in 2003 in a criminal case against the assistant. The relationship had ended by that time, and the case eventually was dismissed.
Miller gained national attention this week when he issued the Facebook edict. He said it came about because much of the marital counseling he has performed over the past year and a half has concerned infidelity stemming from the social network site.
The 48-year-old leader of Living Word Christian Fellowship Church in Neptune Township claimed Facebook ignites old passions.

Surely, the end must be near.
I sure miss Archcookies!!! Yooo hoooo, Archcookies…where are youuuuu? She always had the BOMB recipes!
Slenda – FB is just a catalyst for foolishment to pop off… it’s not the absolute reason people get freaky with one another.
If you have the potential to be a freak, you’ll do it with or without fb.
That freaky pastor needs to blame himself for his actions.
Lovely, I love the Kardashian shows too.
I think Kimmie is playing us as earlier this month she was spotted at a basketball game with The Dream.
The Dream is just a homie. He’s helping her with her album.
In regards to Rev. Miller, it was actually a four-some and it happened in 2003, way before FB became popular.
There was a criminal trial held. In the case, which was eventually dismissed, he testified that his wife, Kim, had an affair with the assistant, and that he and the man’s wife were often present at their meetings.
“I mean between the four of us,” Rev Miller said. “It was just, I mean there was touching … it was crazy, it was as wrong as wrong could get.”
Asked by a lawyer whether he was talking about “sex”, Rev Miller replied: “Yes”. He described their behaviour as “beyond what was appropriate”.
Rev Miller told the court that the meetings between the couples often took place after Thursday Bible study sessions and after church services on Sundays.
Yes Lovely, I knew that. I just hope she sounds better than the other Kim (of Real Housewives of Atlanta)!
So they had a quadruple ‘laying of hands’ and everybody was talking in tongues.
hahahaaa!
Freaks
That article about the pastor is also on the EUR…I know pastors arent perfect, but I think I’d have to quit following this kind of leader. I never liked Eddie Long because of how he stands in front of the pulpit. His pelvic thrusts always struck me as odd. Then all this other stuff came out.
I think there is something to be said about trusting one’s instinct. This mofo just got caught. He’s mad at the dog, so he’s kicking the cat.
slenda….shhhh. Don’t tell nobody We’re not claiming him. LOL
FB is NOT the cause. ITA with Lovely. It’s just the catalyst for what one was already itching to do.
YLY – I don’t itch… I throb
What?
*His pelvic thrusts always struck me as odd.*
thud!dead.
Word of the Day
November 22
chrestomathy
\kreh-STAH-muh-thee\
noun
1 : a selection of passages used to help learn a language
2 : a volume of selected passages or stories of an author
EXAMPLE SENTENCES:
The chrestomathy contains all of the author’s short stories, along with a selection of essays on a wealth of subjects.
“Wearing his best poker face (and no doubt having just put down a George Orwell chrestomathy), Mr. Rendell accused the Republican Party of sabotaging President Obama’s efforts to revive the American economy and for purely political reasons.”
Slenda…I don’t really follow Bishop Long, and wasn’t sure who he was until he appeared on the Real Housewives of Atlanta during the first season. But, I had from time to time, in channel surfing, run across his broadcast.
Antyway, he has this stance where he seems to thrust his pelvis out and put his hands on his hips. Prior to the scandal, I always thought he was trying to tell certain folks he had a big dyck or something. I don’t know. But between that stance, and the muscle clergy shirts, I thought something was not quite right. Now I don’t have to think it anymore. Call him daddy? I wish a mofo would have my son call him daddy!
Good afternoon Turkeys! Happy Monday! I’m excited about Thanksgiving, it’s my favorite day of the year! Plus R’s birthday falls on Thanksgiving this year, so it’ll be extra special. PD will be here tomorrow, I’m excited about that! However, I was bout to tell her butt to stay in Alabamy after she got on my nerves so bad the other day. So, back at in the beginning of October when we went to her homecoming, she was complaining about her breaks squealing a bit. I told her to hurry up and get that fixed. Her response “Okay ma.” Fast forward to this past friday, she takes her car to the shop and now it needs rotors & calibers, $425!!! I was HOT AS FISH GREASE!
But I cooled off real quick just to let her know that all this bs could’ve been avoided had she listened to me and got brake pads sooner. So she’s whining talkin’ bout “ma, that’s just too much money! I don’t want that car! I’m not paying for it!” Blah blah FREAKIN’ BLAH! So I was calm and I told her…Ok. You don’t have to pay for it…How bout me & your daddy pay for it and have it shipped back home so that it can be given to J when he turns 16??? She changed her tune REAL quick! “Well…I ain’t saying I don’t want it…I just don’t wanna pay all that money to get it fixed. I want another car!” I told her, again, “Look…it’s your fault that it costs a zillion dollars now cuz you should’ve gotten it fixed when I told you to. It’s a used car, so you’re gonna have to keep up the maintenance! It’s your car, your responsibility! Plus, if you were to get another car you’re eventually gonna have to get something repaired on that car too, unless you get a newer car which means a car note that we AIN’T paying!” So, she said “Ok Ma, I’ll call you back.” Fast forward to yesterday, “Okay, I’ll pay to get the car fixed and I’ll just wait till next year to get another car.” And I told her, “That’s fine PD, but remember, if you do decide to get a car note, we’re not paying it. You’ll be responsible for the note.” She said, “Okay”. And that was that. It was so funny cuz J was sitting next to me when I said we were gonna give the car to him and he was like “COOL! I’m painting it black & getting some tinted windows!” LOL So since she can’t drive her car home, she’s catching a ride with a friend and she’ll be home tomorrow. Glad she came to her senses, she didn’t have a choice! Okay, I’m done…What’s the T? *scrolling up*
LOL @ “muscle clergy shirts”
that ish is hilarious!!!
*throwing confetti* Happy Birthday lawdhv!!!
I’m still cracking up here and you pull this *muscle clergy shirts*. Stop.
asize12, *I want another car*! Good on you for standing your ground.
>king slenda, PD wants to be treated like an adult so she needs to ‘woman up’ and take care of her responsibilities, not act like a spoiled brat! I don’t play that spoiled mess.
She should know that doesn’t work on me by now…
12 – let her know brakes are a basic repair that pretty much all cars have to replace that stuff at some point.
I had a car in college that needed $1200 in transmission work.
(Thank the Lord I didn’t have to pay it though)
a12…having the SAME argument with PPP. I paid cash for her a hooptie FOUR years ago. I told her then to start stashing her some money. I even offered to match her up to $25 per pay period what she stashed. Has she?! HELL NAW!! And then always saying she wants a new car. Her Christmas wish was for us to give her enough money to put down on a car. I said ‘then what’ because we ain’t paying for it nor will we be absorbing the FULL COVERAGE insurance. She’s another one who wants to half ass on maintenence and then cry when ish jacks up. Her starter went out over the weekend. Her dad and his friend fixed it (ninja rigged….LOL) but it’s rolling! The parts store wanted $159 just for the PART. She gives hubby $100 and then looked sideways. She’s the one that called the man to come look at the car so um, what about paying him? They went to the salvage yard and managed to get her car fixed and hubby gave her back $47 of her $100. Where they do that at?! I told her last night that she was lucky and how she should be grateful because her dad made a way for her.
>letmein, sounds like something PD would try to do. But after a while of me not paying her no attention, she comes back to reality! And PD’s friend/roommate just got a 2008 Ford Focus. Her grandma got it in her name and it’s a 5 yr note for $250 per mo. I told PD, “That’s nice”. And that was that cuz she KNOWS that ain’t going down!
PPP’s friend got a 2010 Dodge Avenger for about $260/month. I’m willing to bet my right arm that they got her for 72 MONTHS!!! WTF?!?!?
72 mo is the biggest rip off…
What are some non-traditional thanksgiving desserts ya’ll are having?
I’m not in the mood to go to the grocery store so I might just make my stand-by cheesecake and a poundcake.
Thanks for the Birthday Wishes, folks!!!! God is good!
If the note is that cheap then you know it! PD ain’t getting a 2010 NOTHIN’ unless she hits the lotto!
I was supposed to host a small get together this Saturday but “Pam” decided she would do it since me or my other BFF always get stuck w/ hostess duties.
I feel like I should offer to help but I’m just really not in the mood to do much (besides sleep)
Anybody watch the AMA’s last night?
I watched Rihanna and then changed to the game.
Somebody wanna buy me a Christmas present?
I wonder what SB is getting his chick for Christmas… has he ever had a steady chick at the holidays?
LHM – I was gonna tell you on FB later. I don’t like my stuff being all in the mix with all the other people.
But since you’re here, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
Did anyone bake you a cake?
LWDhv: loves ya. See your FB page for your three words…lol Letme: Im sitting over here wondering how in the hell they got that car for that cheap(monthly). So I checked the numbers. That thing retails at about 19,875. In order to get a payment of $260/mo they could have only financed 15,3K for 72 months OR 13,150 for 60 months(give or take a lil interest rate wise). Shid. That’s over 4K-6K down…on collateral that depreciates so fast it bout aint worth the worry. SMH aint no way…
Letmein, that was probably a lease if that chile got that car payment that low. But, the cheap price is gonna be countered by that high azz insurance! LOL
What ever happened to getting hoopties as your first car? Man, kids these days are a TRIP!
lease pmts that low also generally have low mileage allotments. Kiddo is gonna go over her mileage and pay DEARLY at the end of her 24-36 months.
Unless what Love & Lawd said is what happened & they leased it…
The girl told her mom that they lowered the price. The mom was LIVID!!! The mom is the one who told me (she works with me). She said she checked her daughter’s account and that there wasn’t a sizable amount taken out. She was questioning the low monthly payments, too. They get these kids anyway they can. I refuse to let PPP fall victim. I keep telling her that her time will come. She doesn’t need a car payment until she can AFFORD one. School isn’t allowing that quite yet.
Lovely….my hair stylist got caught up in a lease fiasco. Had no idea what she was getting into until the least was UP! Now Chrysler trying to get her for 5 grand!!! Overages on mileage and damage (VERY SMALL) to the car.
Letmein – you know that’s where I used to work
They hit ninjas UP!!
Why a lady call our bank the other day inquiring about a loan…in the middle of the conversation she asks “do you mind if I be unprofessional for a moment?” I say “um ma’am I dont think that’s appropriate.” And I continue on about the rates etc. Get closer to ending the conversation and she says “I’m sorry I just have to ask you something. Are you as handsome as you sound and are you married?” My response, “thanks. I’m not sure about all that and no.” She says, “why do my ethnic(her words) brothers have to lie? just be honest you wont hurt my feelings. If you have a wife just say so” To wrap the conversation up, I said “well ma’am I’m actually not lying. If I were married that’d be the last thing I’d lying bout. But I still think this conversation is unprofessional so not to be rude but I have to get off have a nice day!” *click* Wowzers….
So now you’re Dude #6 on the hotline!!
If I ever meet you I swear I’m not gonna look you in your eyes. What kind of spell do you have on these women!?!?!?!
Letme: tell PPP it takes years to build superior credit but only takes one rough patch or bad decision to jack that ish up. You guys are doing right. Man we went thru like 2 straight up humpties. Shutting off at the lights, having to let it warm up a half an hour on cold mornings, running hot from trips around the dang gone block…lmao Tell you what tho…taking that route has caused me to work my a** off for what I do want…and now that I’ve gotten a few things for myself…its most certainly making me appreciate them more…again yall doing right Kudos…
The devil is busy love…lol
Lovely…no kiddin’!! I hope she doesn’t go up in her prices…CTFU!
Lovely…I will be practicing with a sweet potato pie and I’ll make my lemon pound cake.
SB – busy and thirsty!!!
Letmein – I make a lemon pound cake that those mofo’s want for every daggone holiday. My cheesecake is also pretty good. I wanted to try pumpkin cheesecake but I don’t have time to experiment and see if it needs tweaking.
I’ve always liked 7-up cake but the last time I had it was when my friend’s grandma made it and it was extra dry and I haven’t been able to eat it ever since then. I’ve never even made one. Have you?

Love– I had cheesecake pops, buttercream/vanilla cake pops, and regular cake at the paint party last week, a cake on Friday at my friends soulfood soiree, a mini cake last night(I took a pic of me blowing the candles), a molten lava cake at lunch today, and my sis is baking me a cake for Thanksgiving. I am just about CAKED OUT! LOL I am so scared to step on the scale, it is ridiculous…
Lovely…I’ve never made the 7-up cake but this chick gave me a recipe. I said I was going to try it. Smacking sobro for giving new girl a COOK BOOK!! I didn’t want stuff like that until last year when I turned FORTY!! LOL!!
Happy Birthday LHM!!!!!
How was the soul food dinner..?
SB – you’re so silly!!
I hope she’s not ‘on her cycle’ Christmas night!! 
Because that WOULD be priceless!!
Real talk though, that’s a good Christmas!!
LHM – well damn! ya’ll know how to do it down south!! I get one birthday cake every year from my white friend and it’s a box cake.
*but I’m happy to have it… definitely not complaining, that shiggety is the bomb*
SOBRO– considering that yall JUST started talking, you are doing pretty decent for your new boo! I am so happy that you are settling down. Please keep her for a while! Who knows, she may surprise you Christmas with a small ornament hidden in her ‘pocketbook’. *looks off to the east as I reminisce*
Oh, there is an old wives tale that you shouldn’t buy s.h.o.e.s for your significant other because that means they will walk out of your life. BULLSHAT!
Love, Birthday cake with vanilla cream icing is my fave alltime food. BUT, I am really starting to hate it.
LHM – you just need a small break from it. Nothing in the world like some good cake & icing!!
And I LIVE by that old wives tale about the s.hoes. In 14 years, I’ve never bought my man s.hoes (or socks for that matter). He buys me s.hoes all the time though.
the stupid comment was awaiting moderation
Letmein, it was AWESOME! The food was DELISH. I also met a couple who she invited who had recently lost a child to cancer. Every year, they host a toy drive their daughter started when she was in treatment. THe first year, they got 50 toys. Last year, they got 5000. It was a wonderful testament in a child’s influence on other people’s lives. She passed away a few days after Christmas in 2008. I believe she was 10 or so…
what soul food dinner?
I’m confused
