Pantry Scavanger: PW's Risotto

Oh. My. Word. The Pioneer Woman's Risotto will improve your marriage {or any relationship} and life in general. I halved the recipe which was enough for us with ample leftovers. It is certainly a time commitment but very much worth it! We enjoyed our life changing risotto with salmon and asparagus, both grilled, but it can be eaten with just about anything or alone. It's almost too much to handle.

Numbers

In light of recent events, I have been reviewing the Acura's history.

My car and I traveled far and often. With me at the wheel, the 3.2TL was able to spend time in 17 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia.

When my grandmother drove her new car off the lot the odometer read: 9. During the 4 years she drove the car, Mimi racked up a whopping 26,443 miles, which just over 6,610/years. During the 7 years I drove the car, I racked up 128,176 miles, which just over 18,310/yr.

I know that car missed Mimi.

Dog or Something Different?

Gunther is a Boston Terrier; yet, often it seems he is something else entirely. An alien. A small person, comfortably napping. A baby bird. Perhaps, he is best classified as an anomaly.
