O MOLDY NIGHT : The stars were brightly shining in Durham, North Carolina, when three women obsessed with Jell-O mounted a pop-up museum exhibition of molded foods. Your grandmama’s green “congealed salad” was one thing — but you’ve never seen the likes of these creations from chefs, home cooks, and one punk-rock bass player. Slide through for some of the superstars. We love this jiggly, funny story from Spring 2018. Link in profile. 📸✏️🎨 @katemedley @emilyewallace & @_kateelia_

TODAY IS JUNETEENTH Recently @blackownedbklyn spoke with our friend writer Nicole A. Taylor (@foodculturist) about the ties between food and Juneteenth. Excerpted from their Instagram : Her tome “Watermelon & Red Birds: A Cookbook for Juneteenth and Black Celebrations” gives the traditional African American table a futuristic spin. Nicole told @blackownedbklyn, “I was born and raised in Athens, Georgia, but I attended my first Juneteenth celebration in 2011 in Brooklyn, in Fort Greene’s Cuyler Gore Park. It was planned by a community organization called the Cooperative Culture Collective, with vendors, performers and pony rides. There was this sense of wonder and freedom. Since then, every year I’ve done something for Juneteenth. I’ve hosted a rooftop dinner, a traditional cookout, a happy hour with only red drinks. There’s more than one way to do Juneteenth. The most important thing is how you ground it. You have to acknowledge June 19, 1865, the day that enslaved Black Texans found out they were free, more than two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. It’s also important to pause and give thanks to the ancestors. For my book, I looked at the Black American table, our summertime food traditions, and gave them my personal spin. Sweet potatoes, collard greens, watermelon, berries, potato salad, and you gotta have some kind of barbecue in the mix, be it lamb or mushrooms. Another Juneteenth essential is seafood. In Galveston, Texas, they’re on the water, so they have fried seafood. Also essential are desserts — ain’t no Black celebration without cakes, pies and ice cream. But you can talk to somebody who’s celebrated Juneteenth for decades, and they’ll say, ‘We have gumbo on Juneteenth.’ So it depends on your family’s traditions. You know a good time is being had when there's traditional Black foods, music, dancing and intergenerational conversations. Food goes into the mix of what makes Black people so special across the Diaspora. It’s how Black people have continued to celebrate Juneteenth in Texas, and all over the U.S., to celebrate freedom, but also to relax, unwind and just lean into leisure.” Thank you, Nicole.🙏🏾♥️
