Pumpkin Risotto

The man uses Jamie Oliver's recipe as a guide and tweaked it to his own preferences. Instead of white wine, adding dry vermouth to the mix seems to make it more layered and slightly sweeter.

For the butter-crazy Imp, he adds extra extra butter. But not when there's company for dinner. Not everyone loves butter. It wouldn't be nice to make everyone have an instant cardiac arrest.

To be honest, I've actually taken several years in Culinary School... It's not that I can't cook... It's more along the lines of Time and Laziness. I'm in the military, and the place where I live is a bit of a smaller town in the middle of no where... I grew up in Vancouver, BC which has amazing cultural diversity and an amazing array of food choices... It's something I miss alot!
