MariannNOVA Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I cooked Breakfast Risotto -- for, well, breakfast. Excellent Recipe -- I will share if you like. DH even ate it. But the really big thing is that I got up at 7:30am and cooked! We have embarked (with dinner last night) on 30 days of Vegan Meals. Dh was speaking to a friend of ours last week and we decided to do this. That is all.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariannNOVA Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Attributing thought to an inanimate object is a sign of House Selleritis, ya know... Yes, I am considering going through a 12 step program to 'separate' from the AGA. Yesterday, I purchased two pretty dish towels that will not be used AT ALL and I folded and draped them over two of the three oven handles. See how well I am doing. NOT.:svengo: DH is taking a photo so you can see that I am not making this up. If these are in the photo, the grey LC is the risotto -- the blue stock pot is simply my big score at HomeGoods yesterday.

I'm waiting for the photo -- Is it wrong I have the urge to straighten the towels a smidge? :confused: I need a copy of that cookbook before MIL visits. I have to fight w/her NOT to make gluten in my kitchen...she gets so offended when I refuse to eat it..."Just try it...take a bite..." First, her gluten is GREY. Grey is NOT a happy, edible colour. I throw things out if they're grey. Second...which part of gluten intolerance is hard to understand? :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not going to straighten them till I get the kitchen cleaned from breakfast. Do you know that I didn't own a 'spoon rest' till I was 40+? WHY would anyone leave a dirty spoon out for all to see?:001_huh: Look at the thread where I give simka the recipe -- the book info is there -- it's not the greatest book, BUT it got me through our first breakfast with a keeper of a recipe. I will spend time tomorrow at barnes and noble (I'm sure they are wondering where I have been) going through books as I don't want to buy but one or two that are really useful. New saying in our house: "It's not just a meal, it's an adventure.' Last night we had artichoke and olive ravioli (they were fabulous), a light vodka blush sauce, and steamed asparagus.

Vodka! *gasp* MIL wouldn't eat it. Alcohol is a no no, yanno. I don't own a spoon rest either. I just realized I should though...be handy when cooking...and for my coffee spoon :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Rain Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I thought cheese was a required ingredient in risotto. I'm off to find the thread with the recipe. :auto: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
