-- I promised The Boyfriend I'd make mushroom risotto for dinner and boy did I deliver!! Not to brag, but I've mentioned before that I think I've perfected risotto. The photos from the last time I made it were kinda crap, though. This one's a little better!
SATURDAY
-- I spent most of the afternoon working on business development stuff. Boring, I know. But I'm exciting to unveil my new website soon!! I also did a portrait shoot Saturday evening (also related to the business development). Here's a sneak peak:
-- The Boyfriend had to leave right after breakfast and head into the office so Sunday was a little lonely. That is, until my friend Ali had a few of us over for Sunday Dinner. Not only is she gorgeous (see above) but the girl can cook too. We indulged in brisket and a couple experimental recipes Ali created in her pretty little head. I'm not sure what to call one of them - it was basically potatoes au gratin but with zucchini, yellow squash, and onion. And a delish cheesy sauce. Nom nom nom... We finished it up with a nice, light* cranberry-pear tart with caramel topping.
*Obvi I'm being sarcastic when I say it was light. Look at all that oozy gooey caramel!!

i love making risotto. one of my favorite recipes is giada's red wine risotto. i'm sure you'd make a wonderful version of it, too.
Wow all of this looks amazing. I'm kinda jealous that you've perfected rissotto. I get the creaminess, but I'm always afraid I'll over cook it which leads me to under cook the rice and it usually means it has a tougher bite =( I'm excited to see your new website!
