I was kidnapped!

-
Well not really. I trusted my sister enough to get in the car and not know where I was going. We were doing an early Christmas gift surprise. It was all sorts of secrets. My mom had to have a secret meeting with my boyfriend to get information to my sister so that everything worked out well. What I mean is there wasn't any buying of tickets if someone couldn't make it. No there was secret meetings that I wasn't involved in. The only information I got was a few days before telling me that on Friday I was busy, and so was my boyfriend. I didn't know why, but I was busy.

I didn't know where we were going. Someone said the circus, which would have been amazing, but I doubted it.  Friday came and as we were waiting for dinner I think my dad finally said, going to a comedy show? Thanks dad, I was still stuck on the circus idea, but a comedian was much better. Now the problem was who. I could have cheated and tried to look online as to any of the well known comedians who were performing in the Bay Area, but that would have taken some time, and I was finally content with being surprised.

Everyone got in the car, my sister and I each with our boyfriends and we flew to San Jose. We didn't really fly there, and I'm not saying my sister has a lead foot, but we got there pretty fast. Walk this way, turn this way, and around the corner and we were at the San Jose Improv club. And performing until New Years was Christopher Titus. He wasn't someone I had really watched a lot, or had really known any of his material, but he was hilarious.

After the show we were actually about first in line to get a picture with him, and since the last time we had gone to see a comedian we were just about last in line this was nice. An awesome gift, if I do say so myself.

 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...
