So today, I made a version of lemon chicken orzo soup that I really liked. I seasoned 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs with salt and pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic and onion powder, then covered them with 4 cups of low sodium chicken broth (and about 1/2 cup of water to make sure all the meat was submerged), added a bay leaf, and let it go on the slow cooker setting on low for 6.5 hours. Then I removed and shredded the chicken, added 1/2 cup or so of orzo, and cooked that on high for 25 minutes, then stirred in the zest and juice of one lemon and added the chicken back in. Then I ladled it out into a big mug, stirred in some parmesan cheese, and had it for dinner. Two thumbs way up. And there's enough for 3 more meals, as well!

In other news, I finally got back to watching Poker Face, which I am enjoying for its 70s throwback style and Natasha Lyonne being world-weary and charming by turns as needed. Plus the guest stars are pretty amazing. John Darnielle was in an episode! Judith Light and S. Epatha Merkerson were fantastic! Ellen Barkin and Tim Meadows were hilarious! (They did kinda waste Jameela Jamil though.) I'm not done with season 1, but I wonder if there's going to be a season 2. Once I'm done with it, I think I will rewatch We Are Lady Parts* one more time before cancelling Peacock.

*You should also watch We Are Lady Parts! It's so good!

Ooh that sounds delicious. There was a lemony barley soup recipe in NYT recently that I just bookmarked that sounds like it's got a similar vibe.

That episode with S. Epatha Merkerson and Judith Light was amazing. Probably my favorite, even over the one with Nick Nolte that's getting a lot of the attention.

I've read that Poker Face had a season 2 ordered but won't be coming out soon.
