I used my blender for the first time tonight, to make carrot/potato/leek soup. As a main course, I made the risotto carbonara I'd written about previously. It was a smashing success. I didn't have any arborio, so I used basmati rice. I used the veggie stock from the soup to make the risotto. Really nice. I was dubious at the beginning because of the amount of stock I had to put in, but dayum, it's GOOD! I have a feeling this recipe is going to become a frequent feature in our diet. I also made the citrus cake to satisfy Katy's (and mine, to be honest) cake jones. A bit overcooked, but otherwise yummy. I'm still getting used to my oven, so things should only get better.

Your posts keep making me hungry.
I should post more of my weird recipes from all the vintage books I keep collecting.

If you want her to call, just ask her. No need to go to such lengths. ;P
