The Arrival to Utah

-
The early morning was a little hard for me to get up. I had to be at the airport about 2 hours early which was around 8am. I had rarely been awake at that time since I got out of school. But I was ready, I had a list prepared and knew what needed to be done. The only bad thing was I forgot something I thought I packed and spent two weeks without them. Oh well.


Since I was at the airport for a while I had seen the same messages over and over and heard the same messages about unattended luggage. While I waited I got a little breakfast, it was to early for breakfast when I was getting ready. I watched the plane land and the people come off, I saw them doing some cleaning and restocking of drinks.


When they were ready to board, I was determined to get a window seat. It was the first time that I was on a plane, with a camera (that was mine). And I wanted pictures! Lucky for me when I got on there was plenty of window seats open, I just had to choose one.
Well, I got one, and spent a lot of the plane ride listening to music and looking out the window to see what was going on. I couldn't help it, I wanted to see what it was going to look like, what the distance looks like.

Well, I arrived in Salt Lake City Airport and went down to get my luggage. It took a while, but when I got by bag, I walked to the side and waited a few minutes for my family to come and get me. I wasn't sure who it was picking me up, only that they were coming. If I had to wait just a few minutes longer, I think that I would have been a little worried. But moments later, Tirzah and Alyssa walked in looking for me.
The ride to Grams was quiet, well I was quiet. I was just looking out at the mountains and the scenery that you can't really see in California. I was just being observant, and listening.

 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...

  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...
