Citrus Risotto and Veal with Blueberry Sauce

Plato cooked a meal of caprese salad, risotto and veal with blueberry sauce for our usual dinner group on Tuesday September 16, 2008.

Caprese- just tomatoes mozzarella olive oil and salt and basil.

Risotto excellent citrusy flavors.

Plato, ian, diana, ben and alissa were all in attendance

I also reviewed the wines that we tasted that night… I basically just compared them against each other.  Click read more if you are interested to see what I thought of them.  Might be boring though.

   You know, Ian and Ben were pretty clear about not wanting you to post photos of them on here. Whether or not you agree with their rationales you might consider respecting your friends wishes.
