I have successfully made risotto, but not for a while. Decided to try the cauliflower rice version.

Actually patiently made the mushrooms right.

Gauged the broth and cook time right for the cauli.

I had gotten romano instead of parmesan as it came more finely grated. I know, I should grate my own.

No, really, I should have. Wasn't till it was served, and to a guest, that I realized the cheese, added just before serving, was... off.

Blue cheese risotto is not a thing, and for a reason.

But there was extra bison steak and a lot of salad, and the $mas baking (cookies, marzipan, breads that are really cake) so it was ok, but Imma remember that initial This-is-not-what-I-thought-I-was-putting-in-my-mouth taste. Kinda like reaching for milk and getting the OJ. Surprise!
