Just made my shrimp/basil/feta orzo. Because last time I made it, some asked about the orzo, here's a pic of it:

Just finished eating it. It IS yummy -- partly because it's clean, fresh and simple. (FYI I tend to double this recipe for leftovers, and add a little more lemon zest but that's to my taste). I also tend not to measure when I cook a recipe (unless it's baking), but this is a good baseline to start with. It's totally simple to make, as you just toss it all together and then throw it in the oven. Oh, and P.S. -- I've used both fresh shrimp and the pre-packaged frozen shrimp that come in bags, and both work well with this dish. ------------ BASIL SHRIMP WITH FETA AND ORZO Tin foil to make an oven bag Cooking spray 1 cup uncooked orzo 4 teaspoon olive oil 2 cup diced tomato 1 ½ cup sliced green onion 1 ½ cup crumbled feta cheese 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 ½ pound large shrimp, peeled & deveined ½ cup chopped fresh basil Prehead oven to 450. Coat inside of foil bag with cooking spray. Place bag on large shallow baking pan. Cook orzo in boiling water 5 minutes (no salt or oil); drain. Place orzo in a large bowl. Stir in 2 teaspoons oil and next 7 ingredients (through pepper). Place the orzo mixture on foil bag. Combine shrimp and basil. Arrange shrimp mixture on orzo mixture. Fold bag over to seal. Bake at 450 for 25 minutes or until shrimp are cooked. Cut open bag with knife and peel back foil. (Drizzle with remaining oil -- only if you like. I omit this step usually.) Yield: 4 servings.

We've got a sirloin roast cooking away in the George Foreman roaster cuz we've been living on mainly chicken soup for the past 3 days since we're both sick. DH feels somewhat better, but I've been a bit dizzy today with vertigo, so we think that we both need to eat something solid, him cuz he's hungry, and me cuz I'm feeling weak. Usually the smell of the roast cooking is mondo-yummy, but right now it's just making me nauseous. I'm going to warm up some mushroom gravy, and some frozen veggies etc if I have the energy.

Texannie, you just take a large piece of aluminum foil and fold it (make it) into a bag/envelope. Ha! That is the one and only cooking type question I will probably ever be able to answer!!!

Yep. Julieboo's got it. It's basically a big piece of foil (or two) that you fold around and secure at the top so there's a bit of air between the top of the food and the top of the foil... I think they actually sell "foil bags" in some stores but I won't spend the extra money for something I can replicate myself.

Tuna casserole tonight because we had a huge lunch at the all-the-pancakes-you-can-eat pancake house and sugar shack for cooking up maple syrup. That was the best pancakes and syrup I've ever had in my life. We bought some syrup that had freshly been made. Just what 2 diabetics need, huh? LOL Everything in moderation. There won't be any syrup used again for at least a couple of weeks.

Fried rice here - We do "walking tacos" that sound like your pepper bellies. They're fritos topped w/taco meat, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa and jalapenos. We get them at school right in the bag. Now they sound good! LOL
