(an alternative would be to simmer the squash in the vegetable broth and then blend the whole thing.) and i'd probably swap out the parmesan for a different cheese. maybe a bit of gruyere. hmmm. i have – i can try to dig up the recipe, if you like, although you could probably make it up as you went along. i think the basic risotto proportions are 3 cups liquid for every cup of dry arborio rice.

Reading about your workout makes me want a nap. The most exercise I get these days is dancing around with an extra 14-pound weight. Mmm, risotto. Squash risotto sounds yummy. Have you made it before?
