Day 78 - Great Meal to End the Great Weekend

Prawn and Asparagus Risotto... ok, no more risotto photos :P

A great weekend this week, where it felt like we got a  lot accomplished. Firstly Saturday when the house was all clean at the same time (major feat with Henry about) and many other little chores completed. Then today, with Henry fitting in an almost 3 hour sleep, we had a relaxing morning playing outside and mowing the lawn, followed by a post sleep visit to DFO where I bought a fabulous pair of jeans and a gorgeous pair of boots which we additionally on sale. To end the evening; a prawn and asparagus risotto and a lovely sauv blanc. Why can't every day be like that?

Day 63 - Lemon, Pea and Mint Risotto with Goats Cheese and Crispy Pancetta

I am on a bit of a roll with risotto lately. After not making it for years because I thought I couldn't, a little while ago I gave it a proper go again. Apparently patience is the key. Now this one was supposed to be an oven bake one, but when I took it out of the oven the majority of the liquid had not absorbed. With a hungry toddler in the vicinity,  and with the risotto not looking like the one in Donna Hay's book, I decided to take matters into my own hands and finish it off by doing it on the stove. After straining it off, I called upon my patience and slowly did it spoonful by spoonful... delicious :)
