Ranch Dressing:  Recipe Invented By Black Rancher Steve Henson
Ranch dressing was invented by a Black rancher from Nebraska, Steve Henson? Click the link to learn more or listen via podcast. #Blackmail4u #BlackHistory #BlackHistoryFact #RanchDressing #HiddenValleyRanch #SteveHenson #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackInventor
Welcome To Black Mail! Where we bring you Black History, Special Delivery. Steve Henson (1918-2007) created ranch dressing to compliment the dishes he was serving to his work crews while working as a plumber in Alaska. Upon retirement, Henson and his wife Gayle bought the large 120-acre Sweet Water Ranch in Santa Barbara, California, in 1954. They soon changed the name to Hidden Valley Ranch.…

If you need a reminder we’re in the darkest timeline look no further than the outline of the adaption of into the woods we could have had back in the 90s
Tumblr media
This version also would have had all the creatures in the movie played by puppets made by the Jim Henson company.

I just watched the new Jim Henson documentary…
Overall it was very good, well paced, great visuals and editing. I learned a lot about Jim Henson and the company that I didn’t before and more behind the scenes that I hadn’t seen/heard which is always a treat!
I cried three times. 🫣👌 I had to fight the primal urge to pause the documentary and point out to my family where and what movie/show/episode every clip was from. This was my “did you know Viggo Mortensen actually broke his toe” scene.
I will say, I do think they very QUICKLY went over the disney merger and didn’t even mention the fallout with Disney after Jim’s death.
———————
The main problem I had was that SOME puppeteers got spot lights, interviews or arrows pointing out the individuals. And while I appreciate that these individuals got some recognition (which they 100% should), I think the documentary should have been consistent and do this with every new important/fundamental puppeteer to the film.
Tumblr media
I alreay have!!! I was able to EASILY point out Karen Prell, Louise Gold, Richard Hunt, Jerry Nelson, Kevin Clash, Steve whitmire, etc. But an average viewer wouldn’t know who is who and what they contributed to the company!
I just think it’s intriguing who they chose to highlight and who they left out.
And I’ve noticed this happen in other muppet documentaries, like “Street Gang,” where they barely glossed over Richard Hunt and Jerry Nelson’s contributions to the show. (I’ve mentioned this problem here before. (Queer erasure during pride month? 🙄))
It would be such an easy problem to fix! Just a quick arrow to point out any new puppeteer or cast member to the Jim Henson Company. Maybe list their job/their characters so a main stream audience could identify them.
I can think of several founding members who are still alive today that were not interviewed. Maybe these people were asked to come in, IDK, but I would have loved to hear from more people you don’t hear from often.
I could definitely tell the documentary was really trying to avoid the “Steve Whitmire” sized elephant in the room, even though he was in SO MANY shots. I can guarantee that if he was still with the company he would have been featured heavily in the documentary.
———————
One last thing…
They interviewed Michael Frith, where was my girl Kathryn Mullen?? (His wife.) She hasn’t done anything in over a decade, are you okay?? Blink if you need help. 👁️👄👁️😐😑😐😑

Will never ever ever forget that one post that was like "If you're a man who kins any of these characters than you're a red flag" and one of the characters was Kermit THE Frog like????
Girl, I wish more people were like Kermit. You upset him and he doesn't punch a hole in the wall, drive the car dangerously fast, or gaslights you for it. He just goes out in the back yard to sing "It's not easy being green" and comes back just fine. Like ???

My first edit of the year is the same song as my last edit of 2023. Wow.
But I think you can guess what I've been focusing on lately.

Muppet Fact #603
The original Lips puppet was destroyed during the filming of the "Kodachrome" YouTube video. It quite literally fell apart on the last day of shooting. As a result, a new puppet was constructed for the ABC show The Muppets.
