I'm probably having left over gumbo.

Gumbo is a soup that most families in Southwest Louisiana enjoy when it's cold. We eat it in all seasons though lol. Mom made it this time; it has sausage and chicken in it. Some regions of Louisiana make it extremely differently. No one should by any means put tomato in gumbo because gumbo doesn't call for tomato ever. We use it as an insult sometimes, lol. "I bet your maw maw puts tomatoes in her gumbo".

I had chicken? Rice. Broccoli. Some pork rib pieces.

I had a smoothie. A very unhealthy one. Banana and milk and vanilla and cinnamon and nuts and far too much malted barley.
It tasted like malt, but not freezing cold.
It was delicious.
And now I am full and feeling slightly guilty because that was definitely not a complete healthy meal, but I'm full so that's it.

Nothing yet today. Last night we finished off the last of my taco soup and homemade guacamole.

Today I was good!
I made kimchi stew and added an egg and some sweet potato noodles and a handful of fresh spinach leaves, so it was filling and healthy.
Whew.
Sometimes I can pull off "adulting".

Kimchiiiii. I love Korean food.

We had nearly the exact same stuff that we had yesterday lol.

Been in a biscuit mood lately. Made several buttermilk biscuits last night with gravy, smoked sausage with spicy brown mustard, and a fried egg, and had the leftovers a bit ago for breakfast. Spicy brown mustard just really sets off the smoked sausage for me.

There's a store near where my cousin lives that just sells mustards.
Nothing but mustards.
So many kinds of mustards...
Every once in a while they organize an event with a nearby bakery and a deli, and the three of them host this grand tasting event with various breads, sausages, cheeses, and mustards.
It is one of my lifegoals to attend.

I made some wraps for lunch. We had some leftover roast beef last night so I added some onions and egg.

Biscuits again. Finished off the last of that batch. Also out of milk, so gonna have to change my diet for tonight. Bah.

A tasting event of breads, sausages, cheeses, and mustards sounds absolutely delicious. We were given a small platter like that for Christmas and it was so good, a larger version sounds even more delicious.
