I’m trying to stick with my ‘Meatless Monday’ routine, now that I’m not traveling for my day job anymore.  That didn’t work out so well last night due to a badly needed nail appointment, so this week it became ‘Meatless Tuesday’.  Honestly, I just made what is probably the best risotto I’ve ever tasted.  It’s not hard to make risotto, just kind of a pain because you can’t walk away from it.  I had some morels, so I chopped them up and made a broth, then sauteed a Spanish onion and started up the risotto.  I picked up a bottle of 2006 Louis Latour Marsannay at Wegman’s (where I found some ramps….my farmer’s market doesn’t have ramps!), added that to the risotto before adding the broth, then polished off the rest of the bottle with SQ.  The day we’ve both had really demanded some wine with dinner – maybe more than one bottle.  Now I’m too tired to really type much more, and he’s on the phone with his business partner having an intelligent conversation.  The mellow music coming from iTunes (I think it’s Jamie Cullum) isn’t helping me much either.   I really love risotto, and I know that’s so cliche, but I really love risotto.  Especially with yummy morels.  And imported parmesan.  Go make something delicious – I’m going to continue plotting my future move to a foreign country.  Hopefully France.
