got a great new chef's knife....I love it. BIG different from my 8" Wusthoff Classic.




While at whole foods, I got what I think are going to be the last good batch of Jersey Heirloom tomatoes.....so I had to pick some up with some Buffala Mozzarella.


Then made some Saffron Risotto, and butter, vanilla poached lobster.

so Laurie....how was it?

Mmmmmmmmmm good!

The combination of homemade stock, and saffron, made for a great creamy risotto, with just some great flavor. I'm getting good at making risotto.

Next time, I'll try the butter poaching with shrimp.
