Risotto Freak
If I could eat risotto every day of the week, I would. Actually, I have. Lately it’s all I want to fix for dinner so that’s what I make. Poor Mike is going to get sick of it pretty darned quick, but that’s why I bake him bread. He can have a sad little Swedish sandwich instead. I do make it pretty low fat–just a couple of tablespoons of low fat cheese to give it a little creaminess so I figure it’s good for me. I put a lot of beans in it, bell pepper, carrots, onion, garlic. . . good stuff.
Today has been totally crazy. Mike didn’t go to work, so we’ve been taking care of a lot of pre-move business. We were all over down in the freezing cold snow, getting hit in the eyeballs by shards of frozen water. Not fun. Not fun at all. I can’t believe we have to be out of this apartment in 12 days! I need to start packing up the dishes and throwing out all my old, holey underwear.
I made truffles today and let me tell you one important fact of life–burnt chocolate tastes nasty. I don’t think I’ll ever become a candyateer (is that the word for candy maker?). It’s not good for my waste and I’m not good for delicate operations. Oh well.
I also got some good work done on MM, though I still have a huge pile of stuff left to edit. I would also really like to publish a humor piece that somehow fits the theme “transformation.” If you’ve got anything, please, please, please let me know. I’d love to take a look and see if it’s appropriate for our little project.
That’s all I can think of for today. You’ll have to come back another day for inane rambling from the queen. My head is spinning out of control right now.

Would you mind sharing your recipe for risotto? I have tried again and again but always fail. I need a foolproof recipe.

Risotto is sooo hard to make. I love it, but can only manage to make it on special occasions. All that simmering and adding more liquid…..I just haven’t the patience.
