Out Of It

So mom's visiting and I'm going to make a mushroom risotto that I've recently tried.

I rave and rant about how good it is.  I will make it tomorrow, totally delicious.

Now it is dinner time.  I start gathering the ingredients.

Requires

• chicken broth-  (out of it).  Got lucky and borrowed. Thank you, Megan
• arborio rice- (out of it).  Will use basmati
• portobello mushrooms-  (out of it)...it's okay, I have the other kind
• Other kind of mushrooms...Check
• wine...check
• shallots (out of it)  will use white onion
• parmesan- check
• Olive oil- check...even some from Iberia

So what if I'm missing over half of the ingredients?  I may be a little "out of it."  How bad can this turn out?  I love cooking (most of the time) and find that improv and being creative is the fun part.  Making it work.   Well, it worked!!  We had enough for days
