With the midterms done, Wally has no choice but to get back
to the life he’d put on pause about seven months ago. Firstly, he turned off MSNBC and picked up a
few paperbacks. It's also time to
finish his fall cleaning, do a little reading and look for new stuff to
cook.
And the gods of synchronicity saw fit to introduce him to
Auntie Fee, via Facebook. A friend had
posted it to his newsfeed and he got hooked.
Auntie Fee (aka
Felicia A. O’Dell) is like a Martha Stewart for the rest of us. She has over 45 videos on YouTube, most of
which, have gone viral. When instructing
on preparing her raisin sweet treats, for instance, she says, “It’s just something sweet for
the fucking kids.” And while prepping
the ingredients for her culinary offerings, she passes along a lot of wisdom
during her unscripted small talk. “Fat
people and kids like a lot of cheese,” she said, while preparing a cheap treat
containing lots of cheese.
But there’s also a sense of exotic lifestyles which exist, often
unseen, right in front of our very eyes.
One of Wally’s favorites, “How to Feed Seven people with just $3.35,” is
also a pretty good commentary on society, not so much by what she says, but
what she doesn’t say.
So with the midterms over and Blue Team Democrats having
gotten their asses handed to them, Wally is looking forward to hanging in the
kitchen with his laptop and Auntie Fee. “I’m
gonna try some of her shit,” he recently posted on his Facebook page. “And look forward to the small pleasures in
life since, with the possible exception of immigration, there probably won’t be
any big ones for the next couple years. And with Republicans running congress, learning how to feed 7 people on $3.35 might be a pretty handy skill to have in the near future."
