No idea!
I am attempting risotto for the first time ever tonight. I have heard it can be super difficult to make, so fingers crossed. One plus, the recipe doesn't call for the frypan to go into the oven!

Not working tonight so got three hours sleep this morning. Staying out of the flat until about 2100 then I'll go home. Hopefully asleep around 2230 to be up at 0500 tomorrow. Usually though I go to bed immediately on getting home around 0710, asleep after reading around 0730, up for a few hours from about 1130, back to bed by 1500 at the latest, up at 1900 and then organise myself to go to work. It's very disjointed but it works for me.

Oh when I did nightshift, I'd be in bed around 10 and sleep until maybe 5. Didn't matter how much I slept, I would still be tired. How long are your night shifts? Ours were 91/2 hours. Wouldn't give us 10 hours because then they would have to give you an extra day off.

It's actually not difficult. Just that you need to stir in the stock more slowly than with other dishes. You need to be at the pan for the whole half hour. But it's Very Very Delicious once you get a good recipe down. And I always put wine (usu white) in it. I think it makes it just that little bit better. Some recipes don't call for wine. Avoid hose recipes - or put wine in it anyway![DOUBLEPOST=1466592752][/DOUBLEPOST]No idea!

Yeah that is what I thought about a bigger and better offer - time is running out and it is time to move on - for many reasons. I don't understand people putting in an offer, and 1 month later it is defuncted!!!!!!!!!! Got someone coming this weekend for a looksee, we will see ......
Sure is ...... anyway ...... all getting a bit boring and it just shows his hate towards others on here, at least that is what I see. Life is about moving on. Some make MIS-TAKES - and share their experience, for others to relate and maybe learn from ....... but he then is all over it like a tiger that has not eaten for like 25 years! Do not understand that he can like a post, if he is banned - so maybe he has not been banned???? I have no idea, nor do I care anymore. He does not seem to have any form of compassion or understanding of the Human Race .............

Does anyone believe in Ghosts, Spirits left behind or people that have passed over still being around them?
I had an interesting conversation with an Undertaker tonight (I have never meet someone in that profession before) and we shared some cool stories
He spoke of many instances and I shared my Dad visiting, at the time of his passing. Be Interested if anyone here has felt that they have had a connection when loved ones have left xxxxxxxx

I never cook with wine, I'm too busy drinking it, haha. Joke aside, I make a good mushroom risotto and have put white wine in it, but much prefer it without the wine. I use swissa brown and cup mushrooms. I occasionally put peas in it. I love peas.

Seriously, have a Frozen moment and Let. It. Go. everyone. (me included after this comment) The whole thing is not worth mentioning anymore.
Go the grubbers!
It was delicious, but as you have pointed out, time consuming to make due to the ladling and constant stirring of the stock into the rice.
I made a mushroom risotto with thyme and Parmesan. Tbh it was the first time I had ever eaten a mushroom that wasn't a button or a gold top, and I was pleased to find the very odd looking mushrooms were delicious!
I have been choosing 3 completely new recipes every week. It is so nice to mix it up. For the past year I seem to have cooked the same things every week. Makes the process of preparing the meal uninspiring.
Good morning my darling!
What are your plans?
Side note: when my mum was loving, she used to call me and my brothers for that matter "my darling". Just to type it makes me feel nice inside. It is a warm memory for me.
