Risotto, effortlessly..

Risotto is famous for having you standing by the stove carefully stirring and adding hot liquid by the half cupfill until it is ready, but yesterday the cooking school had us make effortless risotto that came out creamy and perfect.  While risotto is usually served before the main dish, in this case it had chicken.  My husband asked if I thought he was gaining weight.  I said no, you weren't here the day I had to make fettucine Alfredo and you avoided the massive calories.

On the other hand, my husband usually serves himself more than he can eat, but he may be on to something because he has been having seconds since I've been using him as my Italian food guinea pig.  It's a good thing, maybe, that the course doesn't include desserts. 

No run today, I got off to a late start and have been behind ever since.  The dog seems fine, by the way...
