Does this still count as lemonade?
It is hot. This entire week I haven't wanted to leave my house because it is too darn hot. I needed something for long hard walk (about 10 minutes and I get to stroll through two gardens) to work. This is what I came up with, it's delicious to drink on my way to work, and once I get there I can pull out my fork and go for the fruit which is pleasantly cold and lemony. I put mine in a mason jar because it looks cute and packs easily, but you could use a water bottle or just a glass instead.
Beautiful mushrooms
During a recent trip to the farmer's market, I came across a man selling nothing but shitake mushrooms. These bags full of fresh fungi looked wonderful, but I was slightly put off by the price. The man started to sell me by talking about how I could prepare them so simply and beautifully that they would taste like bacon. Prepared the way he suggested, they do not taste like bacon, but they taste like the most wonderful mushrooms in the world. I can imagine making these at a dinner party for some fancy hors d'oevres, but right now I just love taking them out of the oven and eating them straight from my cast iron skillet.
Orzo and eggs
So, it's late at night, you just got home, you're tired, you're hungry, most of all you're lazy, but you don't really have much to cook with. That was how I felt when I came up with this recipe, but with just a few ingredients that you most likely already have (because who has time to go to the store), you could be eating a delicious meal in a half an hour. This is so easy, you will be unhappy forever if you order take-out instead.
