For Christmas, Andrew and Erik gave me a gift certificate for The Wooden Spoon, and a couple of weeks ago I took a vegetarian Italian cooking class there. We made several things in class, including a mushroom risotto that I had been wanting to try on my own. I modified the recipe a bit using a vegetable stock and about half of the mushrooms, adding asparagus, and loading it with extra Grana Padano (a parmesan).
As Ken watched me stumble around the kitchen, we enjoyed a Gouda and a Jarlsberg (a baby Swiss).
Well, the risotto didn't quite turn out perfect . . . guess I need a little more practice. Maybe another guinea pig. Or two.

Teehee. There's a cheese.com? I'll be your guinea pig sometime.
Btw, I like "the vault." (Dork.)
I, too, like cheese! And puppies! We have so much in common!
p.s. Welcome to blogging, you will love it! I look forward to reading.
