What to do!

-
The first couple weeks of break were more get ready for Christmas, New Years and all that holiday shopping mixed with spending time with family.  It was just a busy time mixed with all of stuff and any free time was some what out of the question.  Now that there are less then 15 days left of break I've got a list of things I hope to accomplish.
  • Finish reading the Harry Potter Series.   I have read all of them once or twice before, but before the Fall semester started I was determined to read the entire series.  The failure came middle of book 5.  It came to school with me in hopes that I'd actually read it during the semester, but that failed supremely.  I read a couple chapters and then it sat in for days and never really got touched again.  I brought it back with me along with book 6 (wishful thinking at the time) so that I can read them all now.   We'll see how that goes.
  • Finish a few scrapbooking pages.  The last few events that happened I just haven't had the time to perfect the writing portion and print out the pictures to glue in.  They also managed to come to school with me/made a little bit of progress and then was stuck.  Now they are back, I have a color printer and hopefully some decent picture paper as well.
  • Watch Bones.  Its one of my now favorite TV series and I had been caught up until season 6.  Netflix has finally come out with season 7 and be caught up enough to watch in when it actually airs.  One only hopes.
  • Do a little shopping.  I give in!  I do shopping, and I keep staring at the clothes in my closet hoping that they are going to change or have a little more variety.  I got money for Christmas and do plan on spending it so that I'm not tired of the clothes I have.
  • Read Bare Bones.  I watch TV shows and read books about dead bodies.  It intrigues me.  And while I have other books to read I prefer those.  Can you tell I'm very into forensics yet?
  • Clean Up my room.  Doesn't sound very good, but with the mess I've made it needs a good reorganizing and vacuuming.
  I'll let you know how everything goes, and what else I ended up adding to the list as things came to mind. Here goes nothing.

 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...
