Giants vs Indians

-
The second game I had tickets for were the Giants vs. the Cleveland Indians. I had decided to give the other ticket to my dad for fathers day. The game itself was about a week later. These seats were in a different location, well they were on the other side of the ballpark.

My mom said the tickets we had last time were nosebleed seats, this time they weren't as high up, but still pretty high. And this time we were in the sun.



I'd say the only bad thing about the seats was that yellow foul pole. Yes that one right there.


See there was a pretty good view of home plate, but if you wanted to see first base (at least for me) I was out of luck, that sucker was right in my way. Moving my head helped a little bit, but for the most part it was just something I dealt with.





It was a pretty good game. I thought for a while that they were going to go into extra innings because until the 7th inning no one had scored. Then at the bottom of the 7th inning Giants were up, bases were loaded, and I didn't see what had happened or noticed, but it was a balk. A balk for anyone who doesn't know (and at the time I didn't) is when the pitcher flinches or makes an unruly move in which case anyone on base gets to advance, but the batter still has to hit.






That was the only run made that entire game. Both teams had the opportunity to score, but they just couldn't make it.





Even with the bad view from the foul pole we did have a pretty good view of the Giants bullpen. So we got to see who was warming up to pitch next, worked for me!










Two things came out of this game. One, it was another promotional day they were giving out Aubrey Huff Bobbleheads to the first 25,000 fans and we got there early enough to get one. Two wasn't as good. I told you I put on sunscreen, but I guess I missed a few spots or it wore out, because when we got home my arms were bright red, and I had a few spots on my face, tip of the nose, top of my forehead. I had noticed my arms at the game and said that as long as they won, the burn was worth it, so I was really glad they won.

 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...
