You are an awesome blogger. Seriously. Truly. And I'm always impressed by the different "features" you have on here. They always leave me wanting to come back tomorrow to see what you're going to do next.<br /><br />the risotto looks fantastic!<br /><br />I hate it when restaurant meals are super expensive for no apparent reason.

I have never made risotto, but it's on the to do list.<br /><br />A Perfect Bite recommended Moomie's Burger Buns. I've made those a couple of times, they are pretty good. If you care they're on my blog. They're a King Arthur Flour recipe and they have it on their site. If you're interested in baking, they have the Baker's Circle which is a forum of some really fab cooks, devoted, of course, to baking. Free to join, lots of wonderful member recipes, experienced/professional cooks to answer questions.Katy ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01622340191299379349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776710088092855973.post-9587425541142333202010-01-09T08:41:07.524-06:002010-01-09T08:41:07.524-06:00I must try this risotto recipe soon, looks so yumm...I must try this risotto recipe soon, looks so yummy.

As far as I know, cooking with wine does NOT burn off the alcohol, or at least not entirely. <br />I would, without a doubt, pay the 35 dollars for a properly cooked risotto, just like Emeril Lagasse asks $50 for a steak at one of his restaurants in Vegas just because he knows that his steaks is worthy of such a price. If you haven't tasted it, let me tell you it is WORTH it.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16373765494269368169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776710088092855973.post-89734860102530982942010-01-08T22:44:38.199-06:002010-01-08T22:44:38.199-06:00I'm not a fan of risotto since I don't rea...I'm not a fan of risotto since I don't really like rice, and $35 dollars?
