Ghosts of St. Vincent's
Ghosts of St. Vincent's | Tom Eubanks
Before the entitled lived here exclusively, the marginalized died in droves. Founded in 1849 to care for indigent immigrants in Greenwich Village, St. Vincents Hospital was sold in 2010 to create multi-million-dollar homes. In its 161 years of existence, the legendary institution treated survivors of the Titanic, tended to victims of both World Trade Center attacks, and served as Ground Zero of the AIDS Crisis. With honesty, humor, and flights of historical fancy, GHOSTS OF ST. VINCENTS tells the hospitals story through the eyes of a man who spent a winter on its 7th floor AIDS ward and survived just in time for the drug cocktail that saved so many lives. Featuring appearances by indomitable historical figures (from Edna St. Vincent Millay to Robert Mapplethorpe), GHOSTS OF ST. VINCENTS explores coming out and coming back from the dead, gender fluidity and gentrification, the price of forgiveness, the cost of survival, and the ephemeral nature of New York City.

So powerful...I want to stay home and finish it ! But alas it's Tuesday time to get alll the groceries and cook for the youth center ! Happy Tuesday!!! Cheesy chicken spaghetti and banana bundt cake on the menu ...

tpixie Yum!! Recipes!! 6y
TheBookHippie @tpixie for the bundt cake I make my banana bread recipe up then add to that batter a dry pudding mix vanilla , yellow cake mix , a big dab of sour cream, 3 eggs 1/3 c oil and 1 cup half and half( milk or water work too) this makes about 2 bundt cakes a few muffins or another small pan...cook 375 40 ish minutes I never measure and play in the kitchen 😂 so hopefully this makes sense! I use powder sugar butter and water to make a drizzle frosting. 6y
TheBookHippie @tpixie I'll post the spaghetti next ...it's all dump dump dump cans of stuff this was created due to many of my kids going to food pantrys, being on food aid or given lots of canned goods ..usually I cook all non processed from scratch food for the kids. But in the real world they need to know how to cook good tasting things with what they are given. :) 6y

TheBookHippie @tpixie chicken cheese spaghetti : 1 can or jar of spaghetti sauce . 1 can or jar or any 4-8 oz of cheese. 1 can rotel or any diced tomato even salsa. 1 can chicken or leftover chicken or cut up nuggets. 1 can cream of chicken soup. 1 can of any cream soup. A little milk or sour cream if you have it mix all together heat it up and add any cooked noodles to it. Sounds nasty tastes delicious :) (edited) 6y
