I made pescatarian gumbo (twice!) but the second batch I forgot to get onions so I swapped it for tomato and extra garlic. I was worried it wasn't going to be good since I've never made gumbo before let alone pescatarian gumbo. My dad liked it a lot he had three bowls of it. He's normally a vegan but decided to eat it anyway since I made it.

( Complaining about my mom )

I digress. Kwanzaa was nice. The first night, I invited a bunch of folks but they didn't show up since I live boonies-adjacent which is fine. I liked being able to spend time with my dad and keep it small and intimate.

So my idiot self decided after the Black Panther movie came out to host a Kwanzaa dinner for all of my Black friends (and my dad of course) but now I have to follow through and find that old recipe for jalapeno cornbread that makes even the biggest cornbread-hater a fan. I really am not looking forward to going to the grocery store this close to Christmas, but you gotta do what you gotta do for the "culture."

Speaking of Christmas, my mom called me while I was at work to ask what I wanted for Christmas. I just assumed from our lack of presents last year that we weren't going to be exchanging gifts. Now I can either be the jerk that didn't get anyone gifts or be the nice person without money. Decisions decisions.

I'm not even upset about it, I just feel like everything is happening so quickly and I barely have time to get myself in order for this upcoming semester.

Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.
