DC Legend: Chicken Wings & Mumbo Sauce

Anyone who has ever traveled east of the Anacostia River has heard the term, Mumbo Sauce. What do I mean by east of the river? I mean if you have ventured anywhere near Benning Road, Wheeler Road, Southern Avenue, or Minnesota Avenue in North/Southeast Washington, D.C. There is no way that you can go into any Korean owned and operated “Kerry-Out” [ trans. Carry-Out food ] in DC and not hear someone order french fries with chicken wings and Mumbo Sauce. Impossible!

Happy Hump Day, mann!
I know exactly how you feel - I've been slacking and backsliding for about a month now. I have a fresh face in my life and I just can't seem to work my blog around him. Thats a GREAT thing. :-)
Come back soon. Kiss the Wife.
By the way, who's that handsome man giving the presentation? OH OH it's you!! Very neat Stephen. I'd love to attend one of them.
Have a great day. Hugs, Ani
lol! I know I look like my preaching daddy. :) Yes, a new face is a good thing. He'd better treat you right too. I will kiss my wife. She enjoys the kiss request you know.
Analia-
;) "Hump Day" is just Wednesday or the middle of the week. People are trying to get to the weekend, but they still have to get over that hump called Wednesday. :)
Thank you for the compliment. You're too sweet. Big hug~
(btw - I just think he might..treat me right, that is.)
lol! I'll get her those two kisses. I'm happy to hear that dude is treating you correct. That's peace~ :)
Faith-
lol! Thanks dear. :) Someday, maybe they'll pay me to come speak. For you, free. Peace~
What's up! I was just talking about my department and how much we've progressed over the past year. My boss said that she wanted me to present because she felt I could make it interesting. Surprisingly, I did. :) I say that because that was my first time. Thanks!
Ali-
What's up bro! Yes, long time. I really appreciate that compliment. I enjoy sharing what I've learned. I hope that all is well with you and your folks. Take care. :)

To All:
It's amazing what a suit can do for a brother. :)
A Prayer:
May God help us to realize all of our strengths and talents. I pray we use those talents to the best of our abilities for good. Amen.
Wow! Where have you been? Good to see you and thank you. :)
Thank you sir. :)
Thank you. :)I had fun that day. I would've been hollering too because I would see you and say, "Cathy, what are you doing here?" :)
Funny, I'm on the subway the other day and I see a lady with the Essence magazine. I say to her, "Excuse me. Do you know where the poetry is in that issue?" [I couldn't remember the page] She said, "No, but let me see." She looked through it and couldn't find it. I was like, dag! I need to just go buy it. So, I go to the store and now they have somebody else on the cover besides Terrence Howard! :)
I sneak over here as often as I can so as not to miss much. Cheers
Thank you. I had those professors. I'm thinking of Dr. Chmabers and Dr. Waters. They were two weird professors. They were also my favorite. Yeah, they were strange. :)
Yes, I see your busy. Well, press on brother. I hope things work out as scheduled.
Rose-
Thank you so much. I'll have to wear this suit more often. :)
Fizzio-

Gooders-
Thank you and good to see you. Yes, I have the 9 to 5 Mon-Fri. :)
What's up! Long time. It's good to see you. I don't mind being in front of people, but I'm ususally very nervous despite my cool brow. :)Thanks!
What? I'm going to work it until the wheels fall off! Thanks. :)
