Allison has urged me to go online unless I want to drive to her Bernal Heights specialty store. But the difference between my making a risotto and you making one is that you managed to write a whole book in addition whereas I manage to use cooking and cat company and some volunteer work as an excuse not to make much progress on my WIP. So my hat's off to you.

Oh, and lots of Parmigiano cheese.<br /><br />Hope you’re keeping well and productive.<br /><br />JimJames W.
