Below are a few words from Ms. Dianne:

www.bhmacc.org
The Black Heritage Museum & Cultural Center, Inc. is a nonprofit organization with 501 (c)(3) federal tax exempt status. Our mission is to document and preserve Black heritage, culture, and scholarship and use it to encourage, empower, and uplift current and future generations through scholarly engagement, art, and artistic expression, while cultivating critical thought.
Our vision is to secure a location where we can begin to engage in the acquisition, exhibition, preservation and study of works of artistic, historical, and scientific value. We will engage in social, intellectual, and artistic activities that reflect our impact on society and its growth and development. We will elevate and advance discussions on our history and heritage, engage in discourse to advance our cultural, technical, and scientific knowledge through scholarship. We will also continue our ongoing programs that have helped close to 2,000 young people realize their dream of a college education.
We have been building strong relationships and a positive presence within the local community in which we plan to launch our first facility, as well as with the broader communities that we serve. We are now ready to make our vision of an independent brick and mortar institution of Black history, culture, and scholarship a physical reality.
We are beginning Phase One of our efforts to raise funds to have sufficient operating capital for 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, office equipment, and to purchase the building that will be the initial home for our administrative offices, gallery, small theater to support our performing arts, and lecture hall. With your financial support we can also upgrade our website, www.bhmacc.org, to accept online donations, secure the building we hope to purchase located on Main Street in historic Tarboro, North Carolina, and engage in operations from that location.
Our goal for Phase One is to raise $375,000 by the end of 2012 with $200,000 being assigned to the acquisition of the three story brick building mentioned above, and the remaining $175,000 taking us through 2012 and into first quarter 2013 operations.
We would like to request that you give consideration to making our organization one that you support.
Thank you,
Dianne Valentin

Penelahpe's tasting at My Coffee Shop in East Lake

PeneLAHpe's has had the wonderful opportunity of having a food tasting at My Coffee Shop in East Lake. We look forward to doing a great deal of business with them in the future. They sampled our Ethiopian Spiced Hummus, Pesto Penne Pasta, and Curry Chicken Salad served over a bed a spinach and with ghee buttered French bread.


This coffee shop is warm and family centered... The staff is amazing and attentive. They know what their repeat customer want before they order and hey are always eager for you to try a new menu item and to stay and while.




I, often frequent this place with friends and my children to eat, drink, chill out and get my chef administrative business handled. The drinks are good, like their Lemon Basil Lemonaide.. it is like drinking the best of a summer day in a magical garden, to say the least. My favorite is their turkey sandwhich and cheese grits and their African Fruit Tea. My children ask me on occasion can they there go for a smoothie or a chocolate soy milk.



For those of you who like to surf the net, their are ample plugs, and you are not waiting patiently for a good seat to charge your lab top and to get stuff done. I highly recommend this for a place for solo and business group visits. On Fridays they have live artists perform.. Sundays they are closed and this Coffee shop rents its space out for small events. click on the link to more information. So if you seek comfort, good eats, and a place for your children to relax I highly recommend My Coffee Shop in East Lake.

Where does Penelahpe's Staff likes to eat: Bamboo Luau and Mali Restaurant and Sweet Georgia Juke Joint



Chef Kweith Bolden and I became quick friends over conversations solely about food and eating. Her role as Event Chef for Penelahpe's only touches a few of her culinary talents. http://http://www.blogtalkradio.com/virtualfitness/2011/06/16/interview-kwikphyt-founder-kwietha-bolden



One of her admirable talents is her ability seek out good eateries around world. This leads us to the Bamboo Luau on Cheshire Bridge, one of Chef Kweitha's midnight run places for food satisfaction. This is her food review: "Bamboo Luau - Open Late night... fresh, friendly and fast Chinese food... I should know... I'm from the Chinese food capitol of the US... San Fran... Man they are good (No MSG just ask)!"

And trust-- We have spent many of late late nights or early mornings savoring the offerings of Bamboo Luau.. so onst again get up get out and get eating. Penelahpe's can feed you more ways than one!!



Click on the picture for a full menu of Bamboo Luau and click on the link to find out more about Chef Kweitha.




BACK OF THE HOUSE:
As we move to from the front of the house to the "back of the house" so to speak- to Penelahpe's on-call administrative side staff aka "can you do this please" Ms. Hanifa.

Now Ms. Hanifa and I have cooked together and know each other and are coming to know each others palates pretty well. So I can safely say, she enjoys the sours that are offered in Dandilions greens and that our found in Thia food and good healthy soul food. So when I asked her what is her favorite places to sneak away and eat -- she answered in mid question..Mali Restaurant on Amsterdam and Sweet Georgia Juke Joint
in downtown Atlanta.

Ms. Hanifa, as of mentioned before, likes the sours from the citrus and the spicy of the peppers and the use of nuts and the vegetables and the textures used of Thai food and they are found Mali Resaurantat. So check out the menu and allow yoursleves to palate travel post a comment on the blog.

Next, As we travel downtown to Sweet Georgia Juke Joint, I remember Ms. Hanifa calling me from this spot excited about the food, the live music and the services offered to her and her work group who rented a private room. Later that evening she stopped by my house and we pulled up the menu and marveled at the offerings. She especially bragged about the house salad that had my mouth watering, truly.


This establishment is Black owned,9the website give a wealth o f history about the "juke joint") and is located downtown Atlanta in the old Macy's building whre valet parking is available. One last note, word on the street is despite the economic tornado effecting all types of businesses, Sweet Georgia has proven to have survived and is a great success, a testiment to its offerings. Please support good food, good music and good times.

PeneLAHpe's Favorite eats #2 @ Udipi Cafe







Located in Decatur, GA one can eat all around the word with a passport. So I encourage you to take advantage. I often fine my way with a new friend to Udipi Cafe. (this is also a restaurant of rediscovery I could not find their new location for a good year..I found it and all is good in the land.) Udipi offers attentive and consistent customer service which add more to the the food experience. Aww the food, it is a vegetarian restaurant using all the traditional Indian Spices, and dishes accompanied by tamarind, and yogurt sauces- to sweetened or cool down the palate between bites. The ever famous samosa and my new favorite the veggie cutlet stuffed with potatoes, and other mixed vegetables seasoned with spices that would have one running to the farmer's market with recipe book, in hand, trying to recreate , this wondrous experience.



For my meat eaters Udipi will leave you belly full and not missing the meat, so be prepared to get your mind right and your taste buds ready. For all my vegetarians I employ you to enjoy this awesome food adventure and for my non adventurous eaters, this place will take you to the other side of the world so hold tight you wont be disappointed and dont forget to bring a friend!!
