The baddest bitch

The baddest bitch @joemama711 I tried this once at a restaurant, wasn't a fan of crawfish lol just not into seafood xD

Swifty @verucassault you can do it with snausage

Swifty @verucassault I'm very particular when it comes to fish so I understand.

The baddest bitch @joemama711 You have my attention now xD. I've only been able to eat fish if something acidic cancels out the fishyness or if it's been soaked in milk.

Swifty @verucassault When I make jambalaya, I usually use smoked sausage because it's hard to find a really good andouille sausage. Sear the snausage, then throw in onions, bell peppers, celery (the Holy Trinity), will get the veggies browned a bit then add tomato paste. Then chicken or vegetable stock, then rice (I prefer to rinse mine because I don't like excess starch on my rice dishes), will add salt, some Cheyenne pepper, maybe a touch of thyme and then some bay leaves. Separately I like to do a lemon-garlic shrimp scampi like thing and add it as a topper. So it's a little surf and turfy. Best hot sauce with it is something with vinegar and horseradish.

The baddest bitch @joemama711 I'ma be real it sounds nice but I think I'm getting burnt out constantly cooking shit or trying to prep a weeks worth of food in a day ish. I was in the kitchen today 11 am( after shopping for a bit) till 4pm, it's a huge pain.

The baddest bitch @joemama711 I might just go back to easy pre marinaded/seasoned stuff for time

Swifty @verucassault Yep. Meal prep will save you money. But you could also break it up and do some on Sunday maybe pick Wednesday to do the other half.

The baddest bitch @joemama711 It's chaos trying to do any cooking when I get home on the week days, it's easier for me to get home at 5-6pm and by that time I'm showering and getting ready for bed/relaxing.

Swifty @verucassault need to ask you something but i think you disabled your profile lol, message me when you are able.

Swifty @verucassault DM

The baddest bitch @joemama711 Ah alrighty must be important i remmember you bejng anti DM

Cookie Mommy ® @wei_ying You should try making it sometime, it's worth it. It's a meal that takes a bit longer to make, but again, it's worth it. Our gumbo didn't have seafood in it, but we used horseshoe sausage and vegetables, and it was already so tasty, so I can't imagine what seafood and sausage gumbo tastes like (if you like any sort of seafood that is). But, I'm sure there's recipes for different ingredients like chicken, fish or beef rather than shrimp or crab/lobster (the two things usually in the recipe originally).

The baddest bitch @joemama711 I'll think about it, chicken gumbo sounds nice I just prepped food for the week though.

Cookie Mommy ® @wei_ying You should let me know what you think about it if you ever find time to make it yourself. What did you prep for this week though? You still doing cold foods?

The baddest bitch @joemama711 I'll have to make a note about it. I made some general tso chicken with stir fry veggies, Italian chicken with pasta and Mediterranean chicken with a salad. Nah Ive been plugging my lunch crockpot into something so I've been having hot food thankfully. Did you have a good Christmas?

Cookie Mommy ® @wei_ying All those sound extremely delicious! I'm glad you're eating good food, Joe. Ah, yeah, I should've thought you'd be eating warm/hot foods by now as it's cold outside...at least over here it's been pretty cold for the most part, but I'm glad you're having hot food during this cold season. I'd say I had a good Christmas, even though it wasn't celebrated in the usual fashion, but that's perfectly fine, decorations and baking are just a stylistic choice (a very fun and beautiful one). How about you? What'd you eat for Christmas dinner?

The baddest bitch @joemama711 I've been trying to eat consistently home food after being sick for awhile it's been making me feel a lot better as well. Theirs been a few days where it was 20-30 degrees here and it was pretty chilly. I hope you've been wearing your thermals and staying cozy! Family grilled a whole chicken, salmon, potatoes and corn it was pretty good! What about yours?

Cookie Mommy ® @wei_ying Home cooking hits different (one might say it hits home *badum-tch!*) so I'm pleased to hear it's actually been better for you eating home-cooked meals. Yeah, it's been fluctuating in temperature here in DC, but overall it's stayed really cold consistently, 20-30 degrees like you. I only have fluffy blankets to keep me warm, so I've been buried under them XD, especially during the night, but during the day I sit inside a closet cause it stays warm in there lol. That meal sounds delicious! I hope y'all enjoyed the Christmas meal ^-^. My family had rice and black beans for dinner, money's been tight this year, but I'm thankful to have eaten.

The baddest bitch @joemama711 Haha I love your mom style jokes. Food only comes out good when I follow a recipe or use something fresh and flavorful as a marinade. You should get a good jacket n thermals someday! At least you have heat right? It was nice and hearty I enjoyed it. Oof gosh I'm sorry

Cookie Mommy ® @wei_ying I do my best to bring the joy to others ^^. Most people follow a recipe and that's perfectly fine, I mean, if it ate broke don't fix it XD. I definitely will get good jackets and such when I have the means to, cause it's been a bit since I had a good winter coat. Yeah, we have heat, but it hasn't been coming on much recently and the room I'm in, it's air vent is broken...so heat doesn't come in XD. Don't be sorry for me, Joe! It is what it is.
