Thursday night (my cooking night), I chose to make a nice recipe I
found on Better Homes and Gardens (who I pretty much live for.) The result was not quite as good as a meal could be, but it still was much classier than mac and cheese. The chicken was doused in basil, ground pepper, and salt - but it was a little tough, which I never appreciate. Still, it was perfectly seasoned, and I thought it was pretty simple to make - though my parents did help me out a bit with the chicken. The zucchinis, which I have never had a zucchini before, were actually pretty good. I enjoyed cutting them up... I don't know why. (-: The zucchini were simply cooked in the same skillet as the chicken.
And then there was the Orzo. Orzo are little noodles that take on the appearance of rice, but they taste very good and noodle-ish. This recipe, however, called for Red Wine Vinegar, which we would use to douse on the Orzo. We had none, so we used Red Wine and cooking Vinegar. Bad idea. The Orzo was already boiled, so the Red Wine left its interesting taste their... not to mention the Vinegar. I was the only one who liked it, and that's because I like weird tasting foods like that. Well, Uncle Matt ate it too, but he can eat just about anything - "If you mix it together, you can't even taste it!" That's what he says.
It was an enjoyable meal!
