I think Aunt Jemima is fallen indeed, but her classic image maybe went first, that is, the hair tied up with a bandana or something

Now Uncle Ben is still around, but it's just plain Ben, with no nieces or nephews. I still buy his microwaveable rice

Don't forget about Sambo's. The last one was in Santa Barbara and closed five years ago.

I worked all day today and thought it was strange that no other employees were online. I had no idea it was a holiday.

I had breakfast today with Pearl Milling Co pancake mix and maple flavored syrup. Was delicious.

I don't generally eat Ben's rice. I prefer rice pilaf instead.
