I am at Bisa Butler’s show at Jeffrey Deitch’s gallery.
I went on the last day and it was packed with people.
I had fun taking pictures of people viewing her work.
Some people made fun while I took the photos:
The best part of my night was meeting two educators. One from New Jersey who was also a photographer and I also met a retired editor from Essence magazine. I also enjoyed meeting Bisa Butler.
A justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until 2020. Ginsburg, born in Brooklyn, was the second women to serve on the Court after Sandra Day O’ Connor.
A few years ago my sister and I harvested bitter melon and we couldn’t wait to bring it home and eat it.
We ignored the word bitter.
It was so bitter we put it in compost and did not harvest anymore. I think we let the rest return to the earth.
This week during PD, I heard some teachers talking about bitter melon as if it was the most wonderful meal they had in a while. I was curious.
Did y’all say bitter melon?
Yes, you had it before?
Yes, from the garden! It was really nasty tho.
Oh, Ms. Hurley, don’t Yuck someone else Yum.
Okay…I am curious thou, are y’all cooking it?
Yes, with salt fish and we eat it with bake.
This morning, Ms. Cheryl, shared some out to the staff – she said she made the bitter melon with salt-fish and her husband made the bake. It was much better than the raw one I picked from the garden.
