Greek Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup

I'm giving you the recipe this time! This is one of my favorites and it's a lighter soup, so I don't feel as weird having it in the warmer months as well as the colder ones.


Greek Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup

Servings ~ 4

Ingredients:
7 cups chicken broth (or equivalent in bouillon)
1 cup (uncooked) orzo
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
4 large eggs
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 tsp ground white pepper

Directions:

1. Bring the broth to a boil in a large saucepan and add uncooked orzo. Cook until orzo is almost done.

2. Whisk together the eggs and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Whisk in 1 cup of the hot broth from the orzo (it's ok if some orzo gets in, but try not to get too much).

3. Whisk warmed egg mixture into the saucepan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the chicken and pepper and cook, stirring often, until chicken is heated through (1-2 minutes)

4. Serve and enjoy!

Black Cherry Delight Popcorn

One of many awesome wedding gifts we received was a cookbook titled 101 Things to do with Popcorn. There are some interesting recipes inside and some really fun ones.

I didn't have the right ingredients for anything specific from the book, so I mixed and matched and came up with my own concoction.  To start, you need some popped popcorn. We don't want the special butter or movie popcorn you can buy in the store because we're putting our own topping on it. So we want to start with about 1/3 cup of unpopped kernels and we're going to dump them in a regular old brown paper lunch bag.  Fold up the top of the bag so the kernels don't come out as they pop.  My microwave has a popcorn setting. If yours doesn't, just put it in for about 3 - 4 minutes and listen for the popping to slow.  After the popcorn is popped comes my least favorite step. It's a little awkward, but necessary if...

So far so good, but it hasn't even been 12 hours yet, so we'll see how it goes. Man, am I glad I hold on to these things! If you like my photography (and many of you tell me you do), PLEASE leave comments on my pictures throughout this year. I don't know if I'll be able to continue without that encouragement. Also needed will be suggestions for photography subjects or locations. I'm always looking for ideas!

Fair after Dark

We stayed late at the fair last night so I could get a couple pictures of the rides after dark. I love the lights!
