Kitchen Remodel Orzo

Author Notes

So, the kitchen's being completely remodeled. We're talking a down-to-the-studs, no-holds-barred remodel. Walls and plumbing are moving, the peninsula is gone and there will be an island. Miele everywhere. It will be amazing, at some point in the future. Now? It's chaos. The "kitchen" is now the dining room where the refrigerator is next to the china cabinet. A thin film of probably-toxic dust covers everything in the house. Along one wall of the dining room is a folding table, under which bins of non-perishables are stored. On top: A hot plate, an electric griddle. Of this dreams are made. But in the meantime, you have to eat.

I'd normally serve this with grilled sausage or a rib-eye, but since it's just me tonight, this is it. It's enough.
The Meyer lemon is only because we have a tree in the backyard. A regular lemon would be fine, as would lemon juice and orange zest. —Exbruxelles
