Cooking for one, there are some dishes I pass on, one of them is
risotto.  I can scale it down, but it takes the same time to make a
small batch as a normal one.   Yesterday afternoon, my granddaughter
came over to help with an outdoor cleaning project.  So, I'm making
dinner.

We both had a serving for dinner and enough left that we'll each have it
another night.  It has probably been a year since I enjoyed it.

   it is one of those dishes that sounds ok, but likely i'll
never make it because i'm not a huge fan of rice (other than
rice pudding which i do like because of the raisins, nutmeg
and custard if you make an egg version).  Mom certainly won't
make it, she doesn't have the patience for that sort of
cooking.

 I've come across recipes for risotto in reliable publications
where the liquid is all added at once and not ladle-by-ladle.
However, I haven't tried that technique.

Never tried it, but I guess it could work.  When you make plain white rice it works that way.  I have to wonder if the flavors develop the same way though.
