With a bunch of seemingly random things in the fridge - mascarpone cheese, crimini mushrooms, spinach & cherry tomatoes, I figured a hearty risotto would find a way to bind them all together. Thankfully I have ridiculous quantities of arborio rice in the cupboard (who, me, a hoarder?).
It takes a special performer to encourage me to leave the mountains during the winter to see his show. Lucky for Eddie Izzard, we're heading to the Bay Area in January to catch one of his live performances.
Hopefully he'll have recovered from his marathon of marathons by then.
pies, that is (this is a family friendly blog after all!).
