Good Bye Summer

-
In less then 24 hours I will be walking into a classroom, and leaving my summer behind, well the part of my summer where I could sleep in and not worry about homework or tests, I'll still be living in summer weather for the next month or so.  But I have to say I had a good summer.  Yes I mostly worked, but making money is a good thing, and on my days off I tried to take advantage and go have some fun.  I feel like this summer, I did the most, at least based on last summer, but maybe because I was working it just seemed busier.

My summer was good to say the least, as I may have said in previous posts, while some days weren't exhotic or super crazy flying to places or seeing amazing things, the simple things did it for me.  I was happy almost forgetting that I had to work on the Forth of July, and spending some time in San Francisco, by myself and with a friend.

I moved into the dorms on Sunday, and have slowly settled into the dorm life.  I've got two new roommates who are still in a transition period themselves on being in the dorms and away from home, so once again a new experience.  Monday was finishing up on organizing, decorating, and cleaning up (because moving can be a mess sometimes).  Tuesday was somewhat a lazy and relaxing day, with a bit of roommate bonding fun, and some more shopping.  And now we have today, where the official last day of no classes, and I have to remember to set an alarm for the morning and remember where classes are, and make sure my backpack has everything I need tomorrow.

I had a good summer, and I have to say that I'm happy how the summer went, how it ended and that my bulletin board at school is covered with adventures.  Good bye summer, let the school year begin!

 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...
