Yo bros and dogs. I am TOTES over recipes right now. So today I made this thing up. I’m calling it BLT orzo salad. Read on to learn more about how I’m unemployed and putting random foods together.
Guess what? Turns out you can make a pretty awesome pesto out of whatever green crap you have sitting around in your fridge. I happened to have some garlic scapes, fresh green garlic, and parsley sitting in our fridge from our farm box that arrives at our door every Wednesday. We have these items and subscribe this service because we walk a fine line between hipster and nouveau yuppie.
So I put all these green things in my Cuisinart (which I just finally cleaned for the first time in maybe a year, and I had to use a toothbrush which was really gross because I found the toothbrush under the sink next to some gross rags and cat food), with a handful of slivered almonds, some salt, and some olive oil, and KABLAM I have a nice pesto. I am kind of not into putting cheese into my pesto anymore. I think it’s too heavy and plus Dan hates cheese so whatever.
Then I boiled a package of orzo.
Then I thought. OMG. I could make this into a sort of BLT type thing with the bacon and random collection of tiny tomatoes we have. And then all that green stuff counts as the lettuce, and pasta is sort of like bread.
Then I chopped some tomatoes and so then I chopped up some bacon and then fried it and put it in the bowl blah blah this just got boring meow meow.
TIP: basically if you can’t figure out how to throw tomatoes and bacon into the other two things I mentioned, you should really just get out of the kitchen.
Check out my guide to getting a job blog though, because that’s not boring:
