Preview Day!

-
I believed I mentioned that Preview Day was coming, that I was going to be working the booth again, and that this year, we were going to be wearing some pretty awesome t-shirts!
Our shirts took so long to arrive, that those who were participating actually got two shirts, at slightly different sizes.  I was super excited about it, if you didn't already know!  I mean come on, these were awesome t-shirts!
 I don't think the booths were as long as they were last year when I did it.  I believe that last year it was from 8-12 where this year it was only 10:30-12:30.  That might have been a good thing because of all the other activities going on.  We were just showcasing some things on campus trying to advertise and get people more interested and into reading our blogs more, while there was informational meetings, tours of the campus, and other things going on through out the day.

Anyone who was interested was allowed to come over and hear about student bloggers, take a picture with us or of the booth, and they got some free candy.  We were also doing a little give away, that if they gave us their email they were put in a drawing for a t-shirt, a banner or some stickers, and their name would be announced on our blogs a few days later.
 Working preview day this year was a lot easier then working last year.  I was nervous last year and really unsure of what to say or how to promote the blogs.  Now that I had a years worth of experience I was able to explain it, promote it and share what the student bloggers did.  I was ready for action!

We were also trying to promote our social network sites, have people follow us and participate in the contest going on during the day.  There were 12 photo spots marked on campus for those on campus to take pictures and post online with the hashtag (#2014Warriors).  The use of our hashtags were checked and see who used them to their fullest, the winners of that contest were told via our social media sites that they had won and to come collect their prize.  They had a choice of warrior tumblers and different warrior t-shirts.

These photo spots were all over campus inside and outside at places where those visiting the campus for Preview Day might go including around Housing, and in the admissions office.  This year preview day seemed more involved and was a little more into getting those involved.

 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...
