Coyote Point Museum

-
Today was an awesome day! Tanya, KC and I went to Coyote Point Museum. Tanya had some school work she had to do there and after had to write a paper about it....gross! I thought I would be fun to go along so that I could go somewhere I don't go that often. There were some cute animals there like a baby fox, a river otter, some frogs and snakes, and an owl. The Owl was sharing the place with a bunny but we couldn't seem to find it. It was fun to go and see everything.


We missed them feeding the baby fox but got to see Leroy (the otter) be fed which was good because Tanya loves otters. It was interesting to hear all the things that are different between a river otter and a sea otter. It was also nice to hear that after being fed he likes to go and sleep, which reminds me of some people. Leroy is 20 years old which is pretty rare for otters because most live to I think it was 15.

Fact: River otters have the third strongest bite, can move a sixty-pound load, and have the ability to swim for long periods of time due to bradycardia.

When we went looking for reptiles it was hard to find the frogs, the second time it was easier to tell that they were camouflaged. There were a few that were easy to spot because they were just sitting on some rocks but that makes it no fun. Tanya's friend KC doesn't like snakes but she looked at them any way. It was funny to see her face when she saw them.

There were so many things there as well as people, I think there was a summer field trip or something because everyone looked like they matched. (That's how you don't get lost.) But there was a Beehive thing and an aviary that had an Turkey Vulture, a Common raven (which was huge), and I think a golden Eagle...not sure.
It was so much fun to see everything, I would love to go back soon.

 When I go back and think, I may not have taken a picture of the dinners I made.  Nope no picture of the Cajun fried rice or the Cajun chicken pasta .  I even tried to remind myself to take a picture of it as my lunch, and even that was a no.   Guess I'll start with the fried rice since I made that first.  I think it seemed simple enough, and I was almost positive I had all of the ingredients or if not a substitute, as I switched the brown rice out for white.  For the life of me I kept forgetting to look and make sure we had shrimp, but also take it out to defrost.  Our freezer is not that big, but the shrimp was all the way in the back behind baked goods, chicken, berries and a few other things I forgot were in there.   Shrimp came out and defrosted day of, although I don't think they were deveined so they took a little more prep work once the cooking started.  Side note, my coworker had mentioned making shrimp tacos and I thought...

July

  Yikes!  Did the last month or so get away from me or what.  I had honestly started this, well prepped this a month ago, and then apparently life happened.  So before I'm two months behind, what did I make in July.   I made lots of things with cream cheese, and if you keep up more will come, a because these mini cheese cakes were a bit of a cheat while I yet again wait on buying something that I may not have room for in my kitchen right now.  Yes a springform pan takes up less room then a stand mixer, but how often will I use it?  Actually if I had one I might use it as regularly as I am my muffin tin and donut pan.  Well, maybe not but at the rate I'm going at least once every couple months.   Now I went with mini cheesecakes to lets say ease myself into it.  I've had most if not all the ingredients for a month, and was just waiting for the right time, and I may have pushed back because cheesecake isn't really a summer treat...

List of Making

 I've got a few things scattered here and there, and pins saved for a rainy day but if I write them here maybe make myself more accountable they might be more likely to happen.  I thought about lasagna a few weeks ago, knew I had most of what I needed, just needed a recipe really.  Do I have my mom's recipe or is it one of those things that's more in her head but not written down anywhere?   I also talked to her about making chicken and dumplings to get her thoughts/input since I've got bisquick and I think it would go over well here.   Just went through my "recipe book" I typed up before starting college thinking I was going to be like my sister who had moved out a year before making all these fancy things for myself for dinner.  Makes me laugh what I put in it.  Mostly desserts, some snack or side dishes and maybe a few actual meals.  Way to go Carrie from ten years ago! So here is the list (probably won't make all of these) but it sh...
