I haven't been doing much cooking lately ... not anything new, anyhow. But I tried this tonight and it will definitely be on my rotation of things I make.
Arborio rice is a tad more expensive than other rice I buy (namely, jasmine rice) but it is quite good. Risotto with Broccoli
I paired it with some tofu baked with some cajun marinade. Mmmmm....

Lentil Pate
It was my birthday on Friday. To celebrate, one of several surprises Martin planned for me this weekend was to have dinner at Cafe Flora near Capitol Hill (Seattle). We had a most lovely dinner with intentions of returning, as well as purchasing of their cookbook. This is a great restaurant even if you're not vegetarian/vegan. It's just exceptionally good, interesting food.
We ordered an appetizer - the Lentil Platter - and had to slow ourselves down so as not to gulp it down. A first for me, then, was to try to recreate what we'd had. (Am I really turning into one of *those* people?)
So I found a recipe ... and made it ... and while it's not the same as what we were served, it turned out really, really tasty. And it's one more step to realizing that lentils really aren't boring.
So this is the lazy way of posting -- you can find the recipe here ... Lentil Pate (Vegan)
