Lamb Chop Herb Salad

Lamb Chop Herb Salad

I know plenty of friends and family have ventured onto planes, trains and automobiles to travel long distances, within the nation at least, but I decided early on after listening to Dr. Fauci, I will not travel anywhere until 2021. And I’m quite satisfied with the decision, one reason is because the public has become so unpleasant. Running home to a Lamb Chop Herb Salad is some balm.

I grew up in Arizona, nevertheless I am almost always “othered” when I venture out in public. People assume I am not from here when in fact it is they that are not from Arizona. Arizona is the type of state that seems to attract people from the Midwest, often older, White retirees who are astonished to discover BIPOC people live here too. A woman almost knocked me down yesterday to lock her dilapidated van when she noticed I was stepping outside of an overcrowded waiting room. While no car snob, my first was an Alfa Romeo. Racists see Black skin only, not our pedigrees, nor degrees, homes, cars nor accomplishments.

George Floyd’s death has brought racists out of their hovels. Certainly some White people are learning from the moment in history; they seem to be realizing if we don’t up end the status quo of racial discrimination by the very people whose salaries we pay, the police and government in general, our nation, really the entire world is headed for disaster. Former Presidential Republican candidate Herman Cain died today from Covid19 – yes, Black people can be biased against Black people too. If you don’t want to die by the sword embrace change. Then enjoy a Lamb Chop Herb Salad with a little Healthy Ranch Dressing on top.

Lamb Chop Herb Salad

Growing up in Mississippi my Mother says they occasionally ate goat just like our West African ancestors, which is probably why my family has such an affinity for lamb.
