What's for Dinner? (Friday)

Today's dinner was risotto, which, despite being vegetarian, is probably the most expensive thing I routinely make.  It uses my two favourite ingredients in the world: saffron and sun-dried tomatoes.

Everyone has their own way of making risotto, and mine involves no measuring at all, so I do not presume to give a recipe.  I do have a tip, though: if you're going to use a stock cube or powder, put it all in at the beginning and boil the water separately in the electric kettle.  The water stays hot enough, and you don't waste the energy or washing to keep a separate pot of stock simmering.
