We did a bit of tag-team in the kitchen, today… I had planned burgers with a mushroom sauce because I had mushrooms that needed using up. Victor decided to make an orzo salad because orzo salads are really good. I had also harvested another huge bowl of tomatoes.

You can see how logic plays right into our meal decisions.

The salad consisted of:

• orzo
• fresh tomatoes
• tomato paste
• leeks
• celery
• kalamata olives
• olive oil
• garlic powder
• salt and pepper

Fresh and refreshing!

The burgers were pretty basic and the mushroom gravy was:

• crimini mushrooms
• shiitake mushrooms
• brandy
• red wine
• beef stock
• pepper, garlic powder
• cornstarch to thicken

Neither were anything fancy, but they really hit the spot.

Tomorrow night, we’re thinking of reworking the salad into a pasta dish with shrimp!

Stay tuned.
