Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just made orzo for the first time, and I'm curious--it's very...wet. I mean, it's cooked in water, that bit is obvious. And there's a subconscious expectation for it to turn out like rice, because of the similarity of the pasta shape to the rice grain.
But drained, it just looks wet. Not in a limp soggy permeated way, but in a water clinging to the outside way.
Anyway, about to dive in.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I am so glad for your good woo woo nurse visit, ita. Orzo is kinda...wet. Rice look but pasta mouthfeel I guess. We do a venison spinach orzo dish I really like.
We are rollercoastering over here. Lost a colleague yesterday, and one of Dave's high school friends today, both to heart attacks. Friend having woes. But we sucessfully pulled off three shows in two days, and had about 60 in attendance at the big one, despite it being a completely unknown band, and the snowstorm.
I'm tired in that way where you can't get rest. But I finally got the fire going decently, so I think I'm going to make a cup of herb tea and call it a night. I might have to leave for work at 6 tomorrow, or I might be snowed in. No way to tell.

I came by just to check and see how the nurse's visit went. Huge exhale of relief!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, thank goodness the nurse did what you needed, ita. May that continue.
Suzi, belated Happy Birthday, and I'm sorry for all the drama.
Sue, I hope you can reschedule and still make your trip.
I had just discovered orzo right before I went wheatless, and it quickly became my favorite pasta. I love the texture. A local bistro did a dilled chicken and orzo that was divine. Or tossed with a little butter, parm, cracked pepper and sea salt, orzo's pretty nummy on its own.

I'm sorry you've lost people, Liese.
I know I've had orzo, but I've never tried making it. *adds to list* I recently tried making a lentil-rice pilaf from scratch, and it turned out slimy. The directions said to cook the lentils and rice separately, and I didn't, so the failure's probably on me. Oh well. Good thing rice and lentils are cheap. Next time I'll follow the recipe properly.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm so happy about the woo nurse!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Nurse news is good news, and long overdue.

YAY!
I love orzo, and more importantly, my kids love orzo. So we eat a lot of it. It makes a good starchy base for just about anything you can name.
