It's a rainy Tuesday night, which is a shame, because about a month ago I bought two tickets to see Slumdog Millionaire... at the outdoor cinema. So we've canned that idea, and Jamie is making a smoked fish risotto for dinner!! YUM!! It smells great already. Every time we have risotto I think of my family - we used to have risotto EVERY time Frank came home from a business trip. Usually with a roast chicken. Frank had a risotto cookbook which had such a great quote in it about risotto: "Rice is born in water but it must die in wine."
As a slight aside I'm watching Gweneth Paltrow's cooking show on TV which got all these great reviews (it's with that big redheaded American chef guy), and she's SOOOO irritating. So sanctimonious and smarmy. I never liked her. Mainly because she was so sanctimonious and smarmy about being a macrobiotic, vegan, yoga loving, married to a musician, holier than thou, so above Hollywood, never smiling, skinny, cow.
p.s. she's not a vegetarian on the show, but is trying to compensate for being a hypocrite by saying that she only eats unfarmed meat. Whatever.

UPDATE: Dinner was delicious. Here's a pic. I think it was one of the best meals Jamie has cooked. It was totally quick and really quite healthy for a risotto too (p.s. that's a poached egg on top, which went perfectly with it). And smoked cod is so cheap. If you are feeling inspired, here's the recipe!
