With 10 people, a toddler and a small house at Thanksgiving I flipped through my Parenting magazine for some tips on making the dinner prep easier. Incredibly, along with the nutty broccoli and cinnamon applesauce, they included a recipe for butternut risotto. "Hmm," I thought, "Maybe risotto is easier than I thought it was. I flipped over the page and this overworked, overstressed mama was smacked right over the head with the following line, “The whole process (stirring and adding broth slowly) will take about 25 minutes.” Are they crazy? I haven't done any activity for 25 consistent minutes since being in labor. Let alone stir the risotto, chase and dress my toddler, receive guests, set the table, check the turkey, do the mashed potatoes, get everyone drinks and get dinner on the table on time so my sister can get to her in-laws'. If you’re a mom that has time to try this at Thanksgiving, you must have a maid, a saint of a husband, no children and no friends or family. This was a real dud of an idea. I’ll save this idea for my order next year when I get my annual date night with my husband.
