A visit from Megan the Vegan

What a great evening, after a less than great day (don't you hate when you have to deal with Bank people over the phone... I'm really sorry if some of you guys are bank people, maybe you are all lovely, but you most certainly don't work for my bank then!)

Anywhoo... tonight Megan the Vegan came by for a visit. Coincidentally (or maybe not?) she came by just as I was making supper... hmmm... tricksy that girl is! I was making risotto (the one I made for Trevor's Mangiano Italiano party. It's really easy to make and has very few ingredients:

onion, garlic, portobello mushrooms, white mushrooms, asparagus, white whine, veg stock, s&p, and arborio rice. (if you want the recipe, let me know and I'll post it as a comment)

here it is, as you can see I was eager to try it:
[Please note the fancy pants, new haircut, my hair DOES NOT usually look that nice]

I think this photo gives you the best indication of how wonderfully goofy and fun Megan the Vegan is, and also would throw off those guys that guess peoples ages at the fair.
Now, I guess I should leave on a more official blogging note and show you a picture of the actual risotto and not just of silly madness... this is the risotto (I threw some parmesan on top as I was feeling slightly cheesy, but the starch of the rice makes it more than creamy enough to omit this).

I see Shmeedle got thoroughly ignored this evening, not even a token mention of him. I am sorry, next time you are going to ignore the poor boy send him over to my place and we will eat pizza and watch Smallville...LIKE REAL MEN!!

That was a mean risotto, and you know me...I think risotto is often over rated.

The photo of me reminds me of my college days, about 10 years ago. I think I have a few just like it, but I was staring at alcohol, not food!

Trevor...Shmeedle was busy fixing the brakes on my bike...I have to borrow Ewa's boyfriend to do manly thinks like that for me!

Great blog Ewa - learnt of it from miss megan the vegan.

I too am a Torontonian. I used to be a climbing fiend...and a runner/triathlete, perhaps we've climbed/ran past each other and not known it.

I have stared and stared at the photo from the view of where you live...can't figure it out, yet, but I love a great mystery...
