The times, they are mucho stressful. So tonight I made my ultimate comfort food: Risotto Milanese. Risotto is actually pretty easy to make--you just have to stand and stir for what starts to feel like an eternity (but it's only about 20 minutes). Luckily, I had a few precious saffron threads left in the pantry, and, funds being tight, I have a stash of rice (including a box of Abrorio that I was very happy to find) that I'm making my way through.

I ate two bowls of it, and I still have a vat of it left! I'll freeze some of it to have once school cranks up again (or...dare I hope...have it to take to work).
