Meal No. 364: Asparagus & Wild Mushroom Risotto

It's a busy night tonight, between a reception and awards ceremony I'll be attending (more about that in tomorrow's blog post) and then driving a couple of hours down to Richmond County, NC, where I'm working this week.

Still, I'd been wanting to try my hand at risotto again, and I felt like it could be done as a late-afternoon meal before I had to clean up and go down to the Fine Arts Center at Salem College.

This here is asparagus and wild mushroom risotto, based on a 1994 recipe I downloaded from the Cook's Illustrated website. For my tastes, it was okay but certainly not spectacular.
