DREAMING OF PALM TREES: Wild Mushroom and Carrot Risotto

Wild Mushroom and Carrot Risotto

This morning, as I was catching up on my blog reading, I came across this very delicious looking recipe for wild mushroom and carrot risotto. And it so happens to have been posted by one of my very best friends, Kattia of the blog, San Francisco My Song. Her photos looks so amazing that I will probably go outside in this terrible NY weather today just to buy the ingredients to make it for dinner tonight. I've never made risotto though, so I have to admit I am a bit intimidated by how difficult I hear it is to prepare. Let's hope I get it right!

And on another note, I am so happy that Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning. As much as I love wintery looking landscapes, it's a whole other story when you're actually trekking through slush-ridden streets everyday. Cheers to a short winter!
