You know, waking up, I would hear my Mom do her Hannon Scales, or I would hear the Gap Band or Zapp & Roger, or Middle-Eastern belly dance music…it doesn’t matter. Music is music.

Follow me into this tasty kitchen – and let’s find out! https://www.mzettasworld.com/ http://MartiMendenhall.com http://Patreon.com/MartiMendenhall http://myochorios.com/shop/sauces/o-r-scotch-bonnet-3oz/ Hotsauce! #EttasWorld #MartiMendenhall #MartisMusicKit #AriettaWard Arietta’s Chicken Vegetable Soup You’ll need: 1 package chicken thighs, bone-in 1-2 T.
