Breaking News: Hillsdale High School Attacked

-
On the Morning of Monday the 24th of August a 17 year old boy walked into Hillsdale High School with 10 homemade pipe bombs, a chainsaw and a sword. He arrived at around 8:00 am a little after his arrival the first of his pipe bombs went off just down this hallway. A second bomb went off moments later.

The news was spreading fast, after the first one went off, a few teachers looked outside and noticed the boy standing there, advised students to get under their desks, locked the doors, and called the Principal. One of the pipe bombs smoke set off the school fire alarm, for teachers on the other side of school, they just believed that it was a prank fire alarm. They asked students to leave their stuff, and walk outside, it wasn't until students came running out did those teachers realize that it was much more serious.

This boy in question had a few targets planned and was planning on killing or harming as many of the students as possible. One teacher who did not know the boy had asked him to run, this teacher just believed the boy was a student at Hillsdale. When the boy did not move this brave teacher went up to this 17-year old and ran up to him not knowing that he had 8 more bombs strapped to his vest. The teacher grabbed hold of the boys arms and held him so that he could not be attacked while they waited.

Moments later the Principal of Hillsdale High School and one other Staff member came over to this teacher who was holding down this dangerous boy and helped hold him down and make sure that he would not get away. The San Mateo Police Department was called and notified of what was going on down at school. The teachers held the 17 year-old boy until the police arrived, while every one else at the School was headed toward Abbot Middle School, just a few blocks away.

The 17-year-old boy had planned this attack for months, he had told his mom that what he was doing was for a school project. He had also influenced her to drive him close to Hillsdale, he made her believe that he was visiting a friend. The Chainsaw he had was hidden in a hollowed out guitar case. Police officers searched his home later that day and found more bomb making materials. There is also news that he had planned to use door stops to lock students and teachers in so that they could not escape.

Hillsdale High School was closed the rest of Monday and all of Tuesday to make repairs and search the rest of the school. Luckily the 17-year-old was unable to start the chainsaw which was his main point of danger. And luckily for the school NO ONE was hurt in this time of danger! They were so lucky to have the bravery and be very aware of what was going on.

 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...
