Colorful and hopefully optimistic but maybe hateful occasionally

They must be real marshmallows, by the way, not those shitty glorified sugar ovals. It must have marshmallow root! Good for winter anyway — the mallow root cures sore throats ;D

Silly question:

It would be nice if we could put up a tree this year. That would be an interesting goal, I think

This ended up not being possible because my mom refused to accept help. So, no Christmas again. Except that she’ll probably try to make it up to her kids again by buying us things she either can’t afford or really don’t want or need. And then repeating over and over and over how much Christmas sucks and used to be her favorite holiday. :/

Our Menorah is currently in a pile of cat poop probably, so I guess I’m not doing that either.

Sorry, just needed to vent this — I am seriously hoping y’all have great Christmases!

Is there a way I could reframe this to be less depressing? :-X I don’t want to be a downer!

I had a thanksgiving party once for my American friend and we ate sweet potato with marshmallows, that's apparently really common. But weird as hell btw :p

That sounds fun as crap though, lol.

PARTYYYYY

Ok! Now I think I've heard it all. :D I swear I'm not making fun, but I do know my american guests don't really appreciate portuguese food either, despite it being absolutely delicious

This is about marshmallows with sweet potatoes.

Oh comeon, be a downer. We don't really mind. You can be sad for not having a proper Christmas. Once you have your own apartment or house, you can throw multiple Christmas parties! (That's what I did!)

 

[littleoc]

Lol, I should.

I’ll be like, “SORRY JESUS, AT LEAST YOU’RE A COOL PROPHET” and also have the menorah uncovered but with a privacy curtain so it doesn’t see the tree and the tree doesn’t see it

The beauty of one parent being “recovering Catholic” as she says, lol

I’m not Catholic, my mom was growing up though. Sounds like the worst experience ever, especially because her dad was an atheist.

Mine became one so I get it. Religion is hard

I feel like my mom let that thing (menorah) get hurt on purpose though. It WAS my dad’s side of the family. But it’s also an antique soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo








What foods do you eat?

I feel like my diet is weird but I’m not sure? I go to the Mexican community here a lot and get fancy ass food but I’m sure they Americanized it a bit!

I still eat borscht but I’m pretty sure that’s not an American thing because no one ever knows what I’m talking about. My dad made a killer cornbread though! But he was raised by a musician chef who he disrespects as a human so that doesn’t count

I am very hungry for some reason lol

 

[littleoc]

Actually probably the best food I ate in college was Sherlock’s potstickers. He was born and raised in Hong Kong. That’s not his real name, but it is his Americanized name that he chose. He’s a cool dude.

 

[littleoc]

He also taught me how to make fried rice and if I had enough room here at home I’d probably have an unlimited supply of that by now lol

 

[littleoc]

My mom’s Mexican casserole is the BEST though, if it wasn’t so expensive to make I’d want it way more often

 

[littleoc]

Oof, I just remembered my Chilean casserole. That was a sad day

Good f*cking dish though, thanks Chile!!

 

[Chris-duck]

“recovering Catholic”

It's a thing :P

And we had this massive thanksgiving party, like 50 people all brought a dish each. Proper feast. But I dunno any Americans now so I have no excuse to eat weird casseroles.

Unless we sent you one and asked how you like it c:<

I’d invite you if I could! Gluttony is my favorite sin
