Food!!! - An Update

[smidleke]

The end of the staycation had more errands to be run than I expected/remembered, so not a lot of food stuff went on.  However, I figured you all would go for an update on at least a couple of the things that happened

If you happen to like asparagus, you can put that in risotto and end up with something pretty tasty. (Boil chopped-up asparagus in pot of water for a couple min, then throw in at the end).

Mushrooms are a pretty easy addition, as are hunks of butternut squash (makes it a little more sweet) - neither of which need to be cooked ahead of time if they're added early enough in the cooking process.

I tend to make lazy stove-top risotto & add a little "too much" broth / stock, set a timer for ~5-10 minutes and wander away from my risotto in the meantime....but that's the joy of a non-stick pan and feeding two non-picky eaters (when it comes to texture) if the rice texture ends up a little soft. :-)
