Zack is also a good cook; he taught me a lot of the basics. Okay, he has essentially provided an alternative to my never-deviate-from-the-recipe or look-up-how-to-cut-an-onion-online techniques. I usually let Zack do the grilling on our little mini Weber. It's probably safer that way. Not that sticking to the kitchen is any safer. I've managed to burn myself a few times already during my cooking endeavors. Just minor ones though.
So this time, I was just making the orzo. We'll leave grilling for later, when I am more advanced. Onion, garlic, spinach, and feta are what make this orzo great. So green and lovely with the sharp bite of the feta. And if you don't have a food processor to puree your spinach, apparently, your blender can work just as well. Making use of what you have is a good thing. :)
I never thought I would enjoy cooking. I could barely boil water. However, when you graduate from college and can't get a job because the state you moved to requires you to take an exam that isn't being offered for a few months, you have time to learn how to boil water. You may even find time to teach yourself some other things...or watch loads of the Food Network and learn how. As Julia Child said, "...no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing." So here's to doing.
These were awesome. I think a little middle eastern/greek seasoning on the kebabs would make them even better :)
