But I’m keeping it chill!
dress: pimkie, altered
shoes: sac d'anvers
The weather was really nice up until 30 minutes ago, right now there is some kind of torrential downpour going on outside. Like seriously, it is raining SO hard that when you stand under some sort of roofing, a couple of feet away from the edge, there is still some kind of sprinkler effect going on because of the ricocheting rain. That shit is wack!
and I made my famous lamb risotto again yesterday:
Mitzicocoa asked me to post recipes so here's my best effort!
what you need:
green olives, lamb (I use the fillet), artichokes, risottorice, basil, tomatosauce (I use a tomatosauce that has several cheeses in it but a regular tomatosauce with some cream would do as well, just use a 'softer' tomatosauce, not too tart), cream, parmezan, a small onion, two cloves of garlic, olive oil, butter, pepper and some beef-broth. All the measurements are up to personal preferences, but I use the same amount of artichokes, olives and lamb as to have the right proportions. And be sure to have too much broth instead of too little, you don't want undercooked risotto and adding plain water isn't the same
preparation: start by preparing/heating the broth. I just use the dried bouillon you can add to boiling water. While the water is heating up, chop up the onion(medium pieces) and garlic(small pieces). Have a pan on the stove and heat a copious amount of olive oil with some butter, butter always enhances flavours. Add onions and garlic and let them have a few minutes in the pan until the onions go glazy (don't know what you call it in english, it means that it turns slightly seethrough :D). Add the risotto and stir until the rice is covered with oil/butter. Add a little bit of broth, cover the pan and let it cook. Now start cutting up the lamb, olives and artichokes. Keep an eye on the pan, adding small amounts of broth whenever the rice has soaked up all the fluids. When everything is chopped up, put a pan on the fire with a teeny bit of olive oil and when the pan is hot, throw in the lamb. When the lamb is brown, add olives, artichokes and tomatosauce. When the risotto is "done" (i.e. cooked enough), add a bit of cream, quite some parmezan and some grind some pepper over it. Chop up the basil, plate everything et voila!
You look so pretty!!!!!!! And your shoes are AMAZING! Not farmer at all! Ah, I need to go to Europe and get amazing faux-clogs. Seriously, Annebeth, please start posting recipes. I am a terrible cook and need inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI got the trousers on my last post from H&M a week ago or so. Keep in mind Europe is ahead of Canada fashion wise... years... and retail wise... at least one or two seasons. Sigh.
The sleeves on your dress looks Great! Such a nice dress:) LOVE your shoes...I think I am on the same page with you on closed toe clogs, it is making more sense to me how they can be a bit clunky. OH MY and your lamb dish! Looks soooo delicious!
