Herb and Vegetable Risotto

Today's risotto was a lovely herb and vegetable risotto.  Tasted cleansing and healthy.  I think I have this connection in my mind between herbs and clean eating.  So it was good and I felt good eating it.

I ate it while watching Gravity which is a fantastic movie by the way.  Also clean, but a bit disconcerting.  Confirmed my greatest fear is being alone in outer space.  I travelled to America once and looking out over the expanse of the ocean I felt so alone and unwilling to ever find myself there.  Imagine being on a plane as it crashes in the middle of an ocean, so awfully scary, but not half as scary as running into trouble in space.  Anyway, entirely beside the point of my risotto, but what else can I say about that?  So one more down, 29 to go.  Haven't found any magic ones yet, but all good. 

Two more risottos

So, tonight I tried lemon risotto.  It certainly had zing.  I'm not sure if I got the balance of lemon right. Not that it tasted bad, but lemon flavour in such a dish seems unusual. The other risotto was supposed to be a pumpkin and almond risotto.  I didn't realise till the next morning that I had been brought the wrong thing.  This one is mushroom and sun dried tomato, so not that similar and it was a bit charred too.  If I had realised earlier I might have requested my order be repaired.  Oh well.  It seems there is no end to the combinations that can be added to a risotto base.
