Final Day Outside Lands 2016

-
The last and final day of Outside Lands 2016, Sunday August 7th.  It was another one of those where we didn't need to get up early.  Before we left we actually googled a few artists to see who we might want to see.  The list for Sunday originally consisted of Third Eye Blind, Major Lazer, and Lana Del Ray who were all the second half of the day.  
So did some more exploring, and did the back wine.  Three holes of mini golf and following each hole was a tasting of a different wine.
They were some pretty difficult holes.  Each had a little land mark of San Francisco. Actually hole one might have been wine themed, up a ramp with grapes coming down the side, and end at a life size bottle of wine.  The move on to hole number 2 (as seen above)  Golden Gate Bridge, lombard street and alcatraz.  Hole number three Mr. Outside Lands himself and the tricky windmill.  Talking to the pourers we found out we weren't the worst of the bunch, but I'm sure getting a hole in one you would have to be a master.

We wandered around, got ourselves some souvenirs, and a couple more free things (yes I like free things) and saw Snakehips at Twin Peaks and then some food.  I got a bagel sandwich with avocado, he got what he describes as an amazing burger from 4505 Meats.  It was labeled the best damn cheeseburger on their menu, and I somewhat regret not having a bite.   


So Snakehips, Third Eye Blind, then I believe Kehlani (I'll admit I'm not sure)  I remember being at Twin Peaks and going to Panhandle to see Rufus Du Sol, but I don't remember the artist, and that one makes the most sense.  Rufus Du Sol was good, got up close and we almost left without hearing the song a lot of people were waiting for, I can only assume because of a sign in front of me with the words "Leave it all to bloom".  It would be worth it to try and see them again.  
But because we stayed for Rufus, we were a little late to Major Lazer and ended up being a bit in the back.  The nice thing was not being squished by people and actually being able to move and dance instead of just shifting your weight left to right.  


And to finish it off, I am sorry to say the somewhat dissapointment.  Maybe Lionel Richie was better, but we saw Lana del Ray who didn't have any real up beat dance move songs.  I mean after ending the night before, and being the end of the event I'd think you would want to end with a bang, and again maybe Lionel Richie was, but Lana I'm sorry you weren't what I was expecting.
Of course I was glad to have seen her, but she was breathy and kind of like she was when she did SNL.

 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...
