I know. It’s a puppy.
I can’t seem to take a decent photo of the risotto dish I want to share with you, so I’m posting a photo of a puppy. Everyone loves a puppy photo.
Don’t get me wrong, the risotto is quite good–flavorful, ooey-gooey, creamy.
It just isn’t pretty.
In my defense: Have you ever seen a pretty photograph of a dish of risotto? I didn’t think so.

OK. Two hours have passed since I started writing this blog entry. I’ve breathed deeply. I’ve reorganized my camera case. I’ve felt guilty about the confidence my photography teacher has in me. I’ve had a glass of Malbec. Fortified, I’ve given the risotto photograph about a gazillion more tries. Color me persistent.
Here is a not altogether-bad photo of the risotto dish. Think fragrant deliciousness punctuated with the warm flavors of garlic and basil.
Beauty is so overrated.
