Our Big Adventure for today was a drive to nearby Lake San Antonio to look for eagles. Balds and goldens hang out there in the winter. The lake level is dreadfully low which is pretty scary for those of us who drink from it. But the place was darn near deserted this sunny day. It was 70 degrees and I was out in a T-shirt. We pretty much had the park all to ourselves. We only saw 1 (maybe 2) goldens, but it was a gorgeous day and we enjoyed our Trader Joe's picnic and just walking around. We saw lots of fat ground squirrels, a mob of turkeys, and lots of venison on the hoof.
Asparagus is still showing up at farmers' market every week. Who am I to argue? So tonight I made Asparagus and Lemon Risotto. I love risottos in the winter. Comfort food. I think I've made risotto once before in my life, but it was long ago and far away. Tonight's wasn't difficult to make, just took some time. The good part is that there will be plenty of leftovers, enough for at least one more dinner. Risottos also appear to be something that could be made ahead of time and reheated. Good to keep in mind since you can also put nearly anything that's in the frig into a risotto. Kind of like my approach to meat loaf.
