The Cooking Lesson


Does the clock say 6:00pm yet?

William is thrilled to be having dinner with his friends: Chance, Cash, and Quintin.


Linda and Dana learning how to prepare Mushroom Risotto.

Stan and Tom making sense of the chaos. Tom is a great guy -- he knows what he likes and tells you!


Dana is so happy -- she mastered the Risotto!

Last Saturday we had our neighbors over for dinner. Shawn timed everything perfectly -- leg of lamb, risotto, salad, hot rolls, and fabulous wine. The dessert was a FABULOUS hot apple crisp that we served with Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Bun ice cream.

I most enjoyed teaching Dana and Linda the method and logistics of cooking risotto. The dish has to be constantly stirred and monitored. It took 3 of us to make it that night-- two to help with the stirring, and one to make the cocktails.
