Student Blogger

-
A couple weeks ago I applied to be a student blogger for my school.  They already had a few student bloggers, but they were looking for a few new faces.  I got an email via the school that said they were recruiting new bloggers.  It caught my attention, and I wanted to see if I could do it.  I mean, I have decent experience blogging, and wouldn't mind if I had a little more readers so I took a shot.  My application required a few of the regular things: name, major, year in school and a short sample blog so that who ever is recruiting can see my writing style, and learn about me some.  For that I actually did a comparison of the camping I did over the summer, and when I went camping with my family ages ago at least the set up and planning of everything, that is a lot to compare.

My application got me a call back, or what ever you want to call it.  I was selected as a finalist, but then had one short "audition" or task to do.  I was then asked if I could help volunteer at the Blogger table for Preview Day a day where potential students from high school come and get a feel for the campus.  Of course I was more then happy to help.  Preview day required standing or sitting at a booth, handing out fliers and postcards promoting the student blogging and getting these students engaged in what we had to say.  And I have to say it wasn't that bad.  Me being a very quiet person, it was a step out in a new direction not being as shy.

Once the day was over everyone who participated at the blogging table was required to write a short blog about their experience and turn it in by midnight that night.  It wasn't that big of a deal, but it was the recruiters way of seeing who could write under pressure, can write with a dead line, and to see if everyone is writing about the same event who shines out and who doesn't.  I wrote my blog and submitted it, and now I just hope I get the job.  I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually want this to happen, its something I'll enjoy and love to do.

 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...
