that's better

[curgoth]

A bottle of Beaujolais nouveau and half a bottle of fat cat Chardonnay, and I feel better. I also now have a very big pot of both mushroom risotto (vegetarian) and cous cous with fruit and niuts (vegan) for the two pot lucks cooling on the balcony. Both were made extra moist to survive reheating. I need to write out my ingredient list cards. Also - so much for getting extra work done.

I can expect to be woken up at 3am this morning, by the pager. I'd ignore it, but I'm saving karma for Saturday (which I initially wrote as Saturnday, appropriately enough)

How do you do yours?

(I always like figuring out different ways of making things.)

This one has dried chanterelles, dried portobellos, fresh cremini and portobellos, the soaking liquid from the dried mushrooms, vegetable stock, and entirely too much parmesan. :)

Onions, garlic, fresh portabello mushrooms, dried porcini mushrooms, the soaking liquid from the dried mushrooms, veggie stock and, this time, some butter for creaminess and stilton, if you can believe it. Yummy.

omg yum

WHERE are these pot lucks and how do I get to them?!?!?!?1

I freaking love risotto and couscous, and it has been soooo long since I've had either. I'd make some myself, but sadly, my skills lie in other rooms of the house than the kitchen. The sewing room, for example, or the room with the bed in it. I'm a master-napper.

But I digress. Seriously - feed me risotto! It's (almost) my birthday! DO IT.

We'll just have to get you over for dinner sometime in the new year (next week is already going to be insane enough for everyone, I think.)

Honestly, I suspect that I'm going to have a lot of cous cous and mushroom risotto left over, so I probably could give you the gift of starch for your birthday!
