As I fast approach the milestone age of 35, I'm continually amazed at the things I still can't manage to do. A recent frustration prompted this rant. Here are some examples:
- Manage to bring the grocery list to the grocery store. On the off chance that I do remember, odds are against me that I remembered to use it.
- Shave the hair off my knees.
- Squash a big spider. Too scared to get close enough. I call in Jamie.
- Handle a round brush and hair dryer.
- Apply eyeliner without twitching my eyelid and making a mess.
Oh, and I can't whistle.

What's Cookin'
Fall Risotto
Risotto recipes are a real pain to write out, so I'm going to assume if you're willing to try a risotto recipe, you already know the basics. Here's my latest twist on one of my favorite dishes. You mix in to the basic recipe:
- large onion, well carmelized
- half head of garlic, roasted at 400 for 1 hr, w/olive oil
- package of cubed frozen butternut squash, cooked on the stove in a little stock
- chopped fresh sage fried in butter
- splash of Chardonnay, which pairs awesomely with this meal (I like Clos du Bois)
All of my risottos use top quality organic chicken stock (std sodium, but I never add salt to the recipe), olive oil AND butter, and are finished with half-and-half and parmesan. It is soooo good :-)

Please! Don't let me be the 1st to tell you what you HAVE accomplished before age 35. No one feels sorry for you Ms. Kim. You are amazing, even with hair balls for knees.
