Valentines Day

-
Its not usually something I blog about.  Really its not.
I guess this year was a little special though. I was at school this valentines day.  It was a Thursday, and like most days I had class which meant I should go to class. Although I only had two classes at an hour a piece it was still a little bit of a bummer.
Now where to start?
I can start with the decorations (minimal as they may be) I put up in my dorm room.  My mom gave me a box of decorations, most likely not expecting me to run off with them to school, but I did.  And with the power of some tape and push pins made my dorm room a little more festive.
These cupids have seen better days, but did a little better job a decorating then the words did.
The next part made me a little and super happy.  My boyfriend drove up Wednesday night and spent most of the day with me on Thursday.  Now that is special!
Not to brag, because I really don't mean to, I got this huge puppy along with a card about the same size.  I don't know how you can find a card that big, but he managed to get it done.
I also got a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolate.  Again, I don't mean to brag at all.  I was glad to spend the day with him.  He was nice enough to walk me to my classes and was waiting outside when they were done.  Since he had been so sweet to drive two hours to spend a day with me, the least I could do was help him enjoy some delicious campus cuisine.  Yes it wasn't the best food in the world, my pizza was slightly cold, and the fries he had weren't very tasteful, but in the end we did enjoy our meal and were glad to be in each others company.
After classes were over homework was pushed to the side for a bit, and we watched a few things on Netflix.      There was no way he wanted to watch me do homework, or in anyway he could help, so a few episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Firefly and we were happy campers.


If he hadn't come to visit, yes I may have been bitter, I may have also not had a huge smile on my face that day or noticed some pretty cool things around school.  This year valentines was special to me, and I hope it was for you too.

 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...
