Kitchen Confidential



This article in the NY Times caught my eye because risotto is one of my favorite dishes to make. A basic risotto recipe is easy to implement and extremely versatile. The hardest part, for me, is getting the texture right. The only risotto I've ever had actually, has been made by own hands, so I hope I'm not making some alien dish that would be unrecognizable to anyone else.

I have acquired a cut on the palm of my left hand. It's just a little deeper than a paper cut--one of those shallow cuts whose stinging pain is inversely proportional to it's severity. It's left a long red mark on the palm of my hand, which I don't mind so much because now I can go around claiming to have the Stigmata.
