Making Butter Chicken Soup today, and I am at the everything-but-the-chicken phase.

2 cans coconut milk
2 jars butter chicken sauce
2 big cans diced San Marzano tomatoes
1 lg pkg spinach leaves
4 chicken breasts or 6 thighs, boneless
1 pks mushrooms, chopped
2 med white onions, diced (or one large red one, for a twist)

Sautée chicken, mushrooms, onions. Add to crockpot. Add coconut milk, butter sauce, tomatoes, spinach. Cook, stirring spinach down repeatedly, for 8 hrs on med or low.

This #soup is so great with naan! Stay warm, my Northern Hemisphere friends. #FoodiesOfPixelfed #Winter #soup
Mushrooms, garlic and red onions chopped and slowly sweating.Coconut milk, diced tomatoes, butter chicken sauce, and spinach, waiting for the mushrooms, onions, garlic, and chicken.

While the Tuskegee Airmen broke barriers, their teacher, Willa Beatrice Brown, broke more. She was the 1st African American woman to earn a pilot's license in the US, the 1st African American woman to run for the US Congress, 1st African American officer in the Civil Air Patrol, and 1st woman in the US to have both a pilot's license and an aircraft mechanic's license." ~ Wikipedia contributors. (2024, November 17). Willa Brown. In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 11:53, February 2, 2025 from https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Willa_Brown&oldid=1257965077

She figured very distantly in a reparational tree I worked on a few years back. I worked heavily on her profile in FamilySearch - FSID #G3NZ-3BK. #BlackHistoryMonth #WomensHistory #BlackExcellence #ReparationalGenealogy

Would be a real shame if folks flooded that inbox, rendering it useless. #DEI

Margaret Agnes Ruan McLaughlin, my 2xggma, married Charles McLaughlin, my 2xggpa, on 5 July 1864, while Charles was still in the Union Army. And yet, these two devout Irish-Catholics didn't have their first child until 1872. Recently, I felt compelled to re-examine original documents, including the 1900 Census (which I ADORE). It asks two separate questions: how many children have you had, and how many do you have. This allows the interviewee to account for stillborns, and children born alive but who died in the first few years of life (between censuses, at any rate). It turns out that Margaret and Charles had NINE children, but I had only ever known about the FIVE that survived to adulthood. This one line item in the 1900 US Census is the only evidence I have of their existence!

The moral of the story: always check, and recheck, original documents. Not everything is indexed, and there's always something to learn.

I'm getting research done at the Venango County Historical Society in Pennsylvania to find birth/death certificates. That's most likely where these children were born, and died - in Oil City.
