foodie { fail } friday

*This is a day late. As I'm sure you are aware.
OBVIOUSLY I DO WHAT I WANT*

So this weeks meals were a weird conglomeration of mexican and cajun dishes. 

Mexican is always fine by me, but for some reason I really struggle to enjoy cajun food. 

Here's a story:

Last winter, I randomly felt the need to make gumbo one night. 

So I did... and then regretted it forever after. 

You guys... it was TERRIBLE. 

And you'r probably thinking "well Brooke, maybe you're just a horrid cook."

And maybe that was part of the problem, but only like... 40%. 

Because I'm actually pretty decent in the kitchen. 

Gumbo is just basically disgusting. 

So this week, there was a dish called
"Shrimp with beans and rice"
And really, I like all those things. So I was like
"yeah I will TOTZ cook that shiz!"
Little did I know.... It was secretly a gumbo recipe!!!!!!

GUYS.
What the name really should have been is:
"THIS CRAP WILL MAKE YOU BARF IT TASTES SO BAD"

Don't be fooled by that innocent looking dinner.
This was my face as I took my first, second and third bites.
About 1/8 of a bite later, I stopped and made Christian finish my portion for me.
And then I did what any self-respecting person would have done and went and bought myself a doughnut from Krispy Kreme.

Gross dinners be darned!
You will not get the best of me!
