Tresa's Treats: Addictively Delicious

-

Let me let you in on a little secret....the best treats in Lumberton are come from Tresa's Treats. Just the other week, I was minding my business, scrolling through Facebook and I happened upon the page of Andres Arnold when I was stopped in my tracks after seeing these delectable chocolate covered strawberries. I immediately commented because I had to have me some. I told her that I was on my way and as soon as I posted the comment, I was headed out the door. Moments later, I was knocking on her door, waiting to get my hands on those strawberries. While I was there, she just finished baking a batch of chocolate pecan cookies and she gave me some to sample. When I got home, I immediately poured me a glass of cold milk and devoured the cookies and I had forgotten about the chocolate strawberries. I was mesmerized by the immense flavor of the cookies; the flavors lingered in my mind and I had to get more. I eventually got around to the chocolate covered strawberries, thankfully, I had help consuming them but my mind was set on those cookies. Later, Andreas added chocolate chip and some peanut butter cookies to the menu. Again, I was at her house, beating on her door, waiting to get my hands on more cookies. By the time I had gotten to my second box, I realized that this was going to be a problem; especially since my personal trainer is now on my Facebook page and I post pictures of everything.

Just when I was about to get a handle on my cookie obsession, Andreas raised the bar and introduced a line of key lime, chocolate-caramel and strawberry cheesecake bites. I said to myself that I wasn't going to go to her house but somehow I ended up at her house and a platter of cheesecake bites were on my kitchen counter. I give up. I'm totally addicted and I can't wait to see what Andreas whip up next. Is there anything she can't do? If you are not familiar with her, she's part of a dymanic party planner group that put together beautifully decorated parties and their talent does not end with setting up the event but they're also available for catering as well. Based on the latest slew of desserts that she's created, I can imagine that any dessert buffet she's in charge of will be the talk of the party. If you haven't had the opportunity to try any of these delectable treats, you are missing out. Look her up on Facebook (Andreas Arnold) so you can get your hands on her homemade goodies and I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed. Chances are, you will probably see me there.

FY Budget 2015: Pills and Potions

-
Image
I called this post the pills and potions edition because after looking at the budget that was presented; it's obvious this board is overdosing on something. I can't tell where any real cuts were made to the budget; it seems the same. The fact that the board paid Richard Rose $1, 600 to prepare this budget is a joke. Why do we have a city clerk if she cannot prepare a budget? What is she doing all day other than reading the Lumberton Informer or thinking of her next lie? The board claimed that Richard Rose was doing this out of the goodness of his heart, that he knew the City of Lumberton was not in a position to pay him. So, rather than charging the normal going rate for an embattled city manager that was allegedly terminated for not reporting to work and other matters; Rose decided he will charge the fiscally challenged City of Lumberton a mere $1,600 and a motorcycle. Now, keep in mind, the board never voted to hire Richard Rose but somehow, he received a check and a moto...

Kim Rogers: A Phenomenal Woman

I've always said that I don't offer balance throughout this blog. It seems that most of the focus is placed on the bad things or more gossipy topics, but I think today is a good day to give credit where credit is due. I know she don't do what she do for attention or accolades but I would like to tip my hat to Mrs. Kim Rogers, founder of the KeKe B Foundation. Kim, like many other women of our community, is a testament to the power of hop, courage and resilience of a loving mother. I don't know how she does it but she has chosen to take a stand when others would have buckled under pressure. Her dedication and courage has touched so many people in so many ways. The work she's doing through the KeKe B Foundation will be a beacon for many generations to come and the she many never realize the impact her courage has made in the lives of others. But despite it all, she is still pressing forward. Kim does not want another parent to experience what she had to experience ...

Stealing Elections: Lumberton Style

-

Last night when I went to the Ben Barrett Voting Center to watch the counting of the vote, I entered the building about 10 minutes before the polls closed and the picture above is what I saw. Throughout the day, many people expressed their concerns that the poll workers didn't match the demographics of the City of Lumberton. I shrugged it off after someone texted me, assuring me that the election was going to be fair. Well, that was not the case. Later in the day, a voter came to me with evidence that the votes had been compromised. They gave me two torn affidavit ballots that were torn up and thrown in the trash in the women's restroom at the voting center. Interesting. There was another person that came to me about the conversation they overheard between Cora Rogers and her mother, Voncile Richardson. It seems that Ms. Voncile wanted to cast a vote for me but her daughter, Cora Rogers, instructed her to mark the ballot for Kent Crider. Interesting. Last ...
