This has nothing to do with football snacks, but I making risotto tonight. Result it was one of my favorites because it can be so versatile with anything else added to it. Tonight will be Italian sausage, Swiss chard, and a couple tablespoons of pesto. My garden did great last year with Swiss chard and basil :-) My freezer overflowith with pesto and Swiss chard! I have to use it up before the next growing season.

Sorry for the typos. Dictating and then not proofreading well makes me sound like an idiot :-(

Mmmm, cotton. I love risotto. I am sure I had risotto before the one in this story, but whenever I taste it I am transported back to a risotto I had once that was Perfect. We were cold and hungry in Chamonix, having driven up from Geneva with the mother in law and the baby. No fun skiing, just walking around in the snowy village. We came upon this restaurant built hanging over the rushing, cold river. Snow was falling. And I ordered the mushroom risotto. It had all kinds of mushrooms but the flavor standing out in the cheesy rice was morels. I can’t describe how heavenly each perfect bite was. I could not finish it and there aint no doggy bags in Switzerland. It was like the first shot of heroin that you spend your life trying to recreate, not that I have ever tried heroin. Why, when risotto is so much better??

I love yours with your last summer garden’s chard. Sounds pretty perfect to me too.
