Walter's Appetite

As some of you already know, Walter likes risotto - and who can blame him? One of our favorite recipes is wild mushroom risotto which is to die for and really one should make a vat of it and just settle right down with a big spoon... Well, upon learning that this was a favorite, and because that particular vat was for me, I made him some lovely salmon tomato risotto with cheese sauce which he seems to think came straight from heaven above. When I gave him his first spoonful the other day one eyebrow went straight up and it was a decidedly different response than when given something more mundane like cawliflower, potato and cheese... I'll make him some mushroom risotto next week - which calls for the crazy expensive truffle oil, and which I wouldn't probably have if I hadn't been given it as a gift, but which also makes the dish phenomenal. Until then, it's the other stuff, but don't be fooled, it's pretty darn good too, and it's going down.
