The Lunar Chronicles

-
So my roommate, friend, and Student Blogger, Tamara introduced me to The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.  She is as much of a Disney fan as I am, and was telling me these books are a mixture of sci-fi/fantasy with a Disney essence to it.  
In December I bought a couple of them, and got one for Christmas.  Basically read one book a day they were that good in my mind.  Except I had two more to go, and had to wait before reading the rest of them.




Book 1:  Linh Cinder is a 16-year-old Cyborg living with her adoptive mom and two daughters, repairing things and earning money for the family.  When one of her sisters gets infected by the plague, Cinder handed over for testing and learns there is something special about her.

Book 2:  Scarlet helps run her grandmother's garden delivering food around Paris, when she meets a young man named Wolf, who ends up being a genetically modified beast.  Wolf and his pack are in search of information that Scarlet's grandmother has, and will torture anyone to get it.

Book 3:  Poor sweet little Cress was taken from her parents when she was born because she was a shell, and did not contain the lunar gift.  Cress lives in a satellite all by herself, hiding ships and doing all sorts of computer coding for the Lunar Queen.

Book 4:  The start of it all, well maybe.  Who is the Fairest of them all?  We learn what happened to the queen when she was young, and how the plague was created so that Earth and Lunar could join together and be one.

Book 5:  We learn more about Princess Winter, that she isn't the mean awful person her step mother is, and how she chooses not to use her gift which ends up making her a little crazy.  The queen orders a guard to kill Princess Winter, but make sure no one knows.

Obviously a lot more happens in all of these books, I just hope maybe I have at least one person interested, or even to go check out and get a slightly better synopsis of the book.  I mean they are that good if you are into that kind of thing.

 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...
