i’m trying to think of other book series i liked as a kid/teen… i know i REALLY liked the alex rider series. i also read a series called skullduggery pleasant which i don’t remember much of but i do remember the main character had to send a mirror clone of herself to school and she had to take her school jacket off before doing the spell or else her school’s logo would be mirrored on the clone. as for the big series, percy jackson was my number one, as well as the kane chronicles. i also remember insisting my mom braid my hair for special events and even send me to a girl scout camp that offered archery because of the hunger games.

what else. i read the uglies series way too young bc my mom loved it. and i read the other book series by the uglies author that was like about parasites and every few chapters was about an irl parasite and that’s how i learned abt the Parasite That Makes You Love Your Cat. i already mentioned this series in another post but i cannot overstate how obsessed i was with the arthur brown series for a good while.

Soul Food

[reasoningdaily]

CHICAGO - A South Side eatery is celebrating 50 years in business. They're believed to be the oldest running Black-owned soul food restaurant in Chicago.

St. Rest Country Kitchen along 87th Street and Cottage Grove has been a Chicago staple for half a century. The menu boasts a variety of dishes, including turkey legs, short ribs, smothered pork chops, cabbage, black-eyed peas, succotash, and candied yams.

Owner and head chef Daniella Coffey, along with her husband John, inherited the restaurant from her father in 2021 – the late Rev. Larry Hopkins, who founded the eatery in 1972. At that time, the business was facing significant challenges, with $600,000 in debt and foreclosure looming. Tragically, her father passed away just two months later.

Coffey said that within a year, the family managed to pay off the debt, restructure the business, and now they're thriving.

"Great customer service, sanitation and great food. Those are our pillars here and of course faith," Coffey said.

It’s beyond just Soul food – it’s a story of resilience. The restaurant has attracted the likes of NBA legend Michael Jordan.

It’s a family thing, with 77-year-year old matriarch Sophia Hopkins serving as lead waitress. When she’s not singing her southern tunes, she’s making customers feel right at home.

"As soon as you walk through the doors, everyone is family. That’s just how it is down south back in the day," said Angela Chatman, general manager.

Outside the restaurant, Coffey inspires women all over the world to walk in their purpose.

"You don’t need another person to validate you. You have everything that you need in your hands. The only thing left is for you to use it," she said.

The restaurant operates on Fridays through Sundays.

I don't actually think this is a cultural disconnect as much as a only child versus child-with-sibling disconnect, but my girlfriend has this desire to be catered to in exact ways that I find very alien. I would never say "I want you to reserve at the restaurant and I want window seats, and yes you reserved it online but I want you to call and ask for the window seat," to someone who's working while I'm on vacation.

No child is making that request, of course, but as a kid I always knew not to push my luck when asking for things, that people are busy and to appreciate what I get even when it's not 100% perfect. It's probably unconscious, but I pick up on these differences while she doesn't.
