The A's Game

-
Well maybe I should call it the Yankee's game, since technically my friend who invited me to the game was going because he is a Yankee's fan, but we were at the Oakland Coliseum.  It was my first time at the Coliseum and technically my first time not rooting for the home team, since I have been to numerous Giants games, and all the time been rooting for them, and known most of the players on the team. 
This was a new experience in all because I knew about one player on the A's team, and I've heard a few names from the New York Yankee's teams, but I'm pretty sure only one or two of them were playing that night.  
The person who had invited me actually got some pretty awesome seats. I mean most of the other games I had gone to I went for the cheap seats, and so sitting 25 rows from the field this time was a new experience for me.  Could definitely see a lot more, and I'm sure that was partially the point.  He is a big Derek Jeter fan, so being able to watch him, especially since it is Jeter's last year playing baseball.

The one down side to the night was in the middle of the 5th or 6th inning, when the sun was going down, there was a 40 minute delay in which about the first 15 minutes us sitting in the stands didn't know why there was a delay, finally a quick announcement of what was going on and 20 minutes later the lights finally went on.  Technically they could have played the rest of the inning but I'm guessing coaches wouldn't have appreciated it.
Well, I guess the other downside was that the Yankee's lost.  It was decided that the power outage was to blame for their loss, I mean the day before they won 7-0, and they weren't exactly creamed the day we went, but I'm sure it would have been a better day had they won. 
That night was actually a lot of fun despite their loss, and it was nice to have an adventure.

 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...
