Warriors Up At Night

-
Apparently my school does this little Warriors Up at night thing. I'm pretty sure it happened last semester (and I might have even blogged about it a little) but this time it wasn't so themed toward something and was more for the games and stuff.  
It was sponsored by CODE RED entertainment, the Student Recreation Center (gym), the housing office, and ASI/USU.  Each group had set up a certain part of the activities. 
The nice thing was that it actually gave me something to do on a Friday night besides sitting in my room/dorm being bored.  Trust me, its happened, and its not fun.  

There was glow pong, which by the sound of it I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but it was exactly this.  Playing water pong, with glow in the dark type setting.  As in practically dark room covered in glow sticks.  It was kind of awesome, I just wish I could have played.  The sign ups went up fast and were full quick.  Didn't know I had to sign up, but I guess its my loss.  
Our Gym did a wheel of fortune type thing where they were categories based of health and fitness type things.  Each team got a prize even if you were in 3rd place, and each person got a prize for participating.  A T-shirt.  Yep, I got a free T-shirt, kind of sweet if you ask me.  Sorry didn't get any pictures, and while I would have been super good at it, we ended up in 3rd place which got us a lame inflatable type plastic bottle.  Wahoo!! 

For food they were serving nachos, yummy!  and the Game room was providing root beer floats.  It was kind of nice, I don't think I've had one of those in a long time.  I just wish I had remembered to grab a spoon and napkin.  Things get kind of messy when you are eating outside.
The housing office was providing a casino theme night. There was Bingo, poker, black jack, and roulette.  I'm not really one to spend money on something like this, and even though it was fake money I was still a little hesitant.  I did play a couple rounds of bingo and black jack thinking I could win, but I probably won what I had to pay to play. 
At the end of the night, you were allowed to turn in your fake money for raffle tickets.  For every $500 you had you got 1 ticket, and for me I got 5 tickets. There were 7 prizes you could put your tickets in for a chance to win.  There was a music basket, a coffee/early morning basket, a summer/beach basket, a movie basket, and a couple others.  Each one had a ton of tickets in it, so hoping I would win one of them was almost out of the question.  *Although I do question weather or not they really mixed the tickets well enough or if it would have been in my best interest to put my tickets in last.
What ever I won't be a sore looser.  
Like I said, it was a fun way to spend my Friday night and I did get a free T-shirt out of it, so I'll be a winner in that sense

 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...
