So when our local grocery store had lobster tails for very cheap I decided to buy a few and make something special for the DH for his birthday (and trip home from CA). I had no idea what I wanted to make but knew I would find something.
I turned to Food Networks site in search of something delicious to make! I was originally thinking lobster bisque but then saw this recipe courtesy of Giada De Laurentiis. It looked delicious and somewhat simple, though a bit time consuming.
I had never made actual risotto before although we had done a healthy version using barley which tastes quite good. I knew you had to be careful with risotto and it was a bit time consuming but this was a "special" dinner after all. It took more like 2 hours than the 40 mins listed on the recipe but it did taste AMAZING!! Still haven't figured out why it took the rice so long to cook but it doesn't really matter in the end.
I plan on making some rosemary bread today using some of our fresh rosemary so stayed tuned, we are finally back in the kitchen!
