don't cook orzo in soup

yeah, well, so ok, i learned that dumping a spoon or few of orzo into soup doesn't work unless the soup is going to cook for an hour or so... orzo needs boiling water... so the soup might be better tomorrow, but today it has hard bits of orzo in it, alas... i will let it sit for twenty minutes or so and see what happens... i could change what i was planning on eating, except there is shrimp in the soup and the shrimp will not reheat well... some frustration has the will power weakening even more than it was last night... some imbalanced (and blatantly unfair) calls in the football game does help... calling hold selectively is the way referees can easily decide who is going to win a game, especially in a close game... so i waited and the soup was yummy... cream of mushroom base with fried onion rings and onion garlic salt seasoning and peas and clams and shrimp and a seriously yummy soup is was... so maybe the title is not so right, maybe it's ok to cook orzo in soup as long as the soup cooks slowly for thirty minutes and may need to sit or simmer another ten or fifteen minutes and what good soup cooks for less than that anyway?...

and ice milk (made with sweetened condensed milk) for dessert... and i must kick exercise into gear if i am going to not be super strict with calories so consider this a strong reminder or even a reprimand without going too far as to push the rebel's buttons and and life is good... back to work for a while longer, but still enjoying the simple pleasures of food...

how about you? :)
