Rafa: Have you thought about dinner?
Me: Have YOU thought about dinner?
Rafa: No, what do you want to eat.
Me: I don't know.. you?
Rafa: I don't know.
(Few minutes go by, sometimes the same conversation gets repeated several times with tempers flaring and stomachs grumbling)
Me: Erm, ah, how about risotto?!
Rafa: OK.
Even though the conversation could use some new dialogue from time to time, the decision we make in the end never gets old. Risotto. I love risotto. And the great thing about this project is that TND loves risotto! Since the Adventures in Cupboard Loving haven't begun yet, I thought I'd go to one of my standby risottos, Nigella's Pea Risotto from How to Eat. It is scrummy!!! Mmmmm.
Making da risotto
The final result
I think that I'll enjoy TND's Risotto chapter immensely!!!

I'm loving your blog, Ilana. I have recently purschased Cupboard Love myself (10 days ago - to be exact) and i was just wondering if you were going to work your way through each chapter in turn, or will you pick a different chapter every time?
It's a shame that i will miss your first couple of weeks as i'm away on holiday - but I wish you the best of luck and look forward to catching up with your blog when i return.
hi, leeanne. thanks for your nice comments. i hope you are enjoying Cupboard Love!
i think i will pick a recipe from a different chapter every time, because as much as i love pasta and risotto, i don't think i could eat it every day, LOL. i'm pretty sure i could manage it and love it in the process, but knowing me will become quite sick of it, and i NEVER want to be sick of risotto or pasta!!!
have a great holiday.
Thank you! If you need any ingredients from the UK that you can't get hold of there, just let me know and i'll ship it out to you.
I think i'll treat myself to a risotto tonight.
Is this your first TND book or do you have Just Like Mother Used to Make?
Thanks so much for your kind offer... I think I should be all set for now, but will holler if I do need help sourcing ingredients :)
I don't have Tom's other book, but no doubt will get it once the 6 months are up!!
Enjoy your risotto!! :))
Hmmmmm, that conversation between you and Rafa could easily have taken place in my house. In fact it does, frequently.
Same scene, similar dialogue
Me: What's for tea?
Him: I don't know, what do you want
Me: Anything you cook
Him: Well what do you want me to cook
Me: Anything you want
Him: Well what would you like?
And it goes on to infinity and beyond until I decide what we are going to eat. He can keep the conversation up forever so I always give in usually when there's tumbleweed blowing across and 2 skeletons sitting in the living room.....
