Day 2 Outside Lands

-
Day two was a little easier.  I mean we knew where we were going, didn't have to get up as early and take transportation anywhere and had some time.  Gates opened at 11 most days, and music didn't start until noon so we were good.  Kind of.
Ended up missing Methyl Ethyl (chemistry terms anyone?) but I'm sorry I didn't have a hat and my hair was too greasy not to shower I'm sorry.  

So instead we explored a bit, because when we came back Friday night and pulled out our maps we realized we missed a lot.  Although it was a busy day, running back and forth with little to no detours in between.  So we found Choco Lands for me, passed by Cocktail magic, Bacon Land (which wasn't that impressive) and found the back wine.  Again how did we miss some of these things I don't know.  In too much of a rush to get to the next stage I guess.  

Unless I am mistaken our the first set we wanted to see (besides Methyl Ethyl) was Years & Years.  The singer won the British version of Americas Got Talent or something, not sure, its just what I was told.  But for never hearing them, I really enjoyed it and now listen to some of their music on Pandora.  Probably the large benefit of coming not knowing much is exploring different music and hearing new stuff.

After that was Big Grams, a combination of Big Bio from Outcast and Phantogram (who I'd never heard of).  They were good, did some mashups from outcast days like Mrs. Jackson and such.  At least something I knew, and a nice old school throwback.

We stayed and watched a bit of Air, but sadly was a little to mellow for me.  Should have checked out Sufjan Stevens during that time slot, oh well next time.  Walked to Twin Peaks to see some of Halsey.  Made our way back to Lands End for the first half of Radiohead, and then back to Twin Peaks to finish of the night with Zedd.
Did I mention my legs were killing me again?  Woke up in the morning and was fine, but with another day of being on my feet with little to no breaks for 8+ hours, walking dancing and doing what ever legs hurt.

Okay.  Now that I'm done with my little tangent Zedd was amazing!  I am going to say this and possibly want to apologize, but Zedd should have been the closer for Sunday, and here is why.  Light shows, laser beams, up beat music and the crowd was just going.  Zedd the DJ and musician doing all sorts of mash-ups and making the crowd go wild.

Best way to end the day, no doubt.  Possibly the best performance of the weekend.

 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...
