INSTRUCTIONS

Heat butter or oil in a large wide saucepan. Add garlic and onions. Cook
until the onions and garlic are very tender. Add the rice. Stir to coat
grains of rice well with the onions. (This can be done ahead.)
Have chicken stock hot in a saucepan on the stove beside the rice. Add
chicken stock, a ladle full at a time, and cook over medium or medium high
heat, until each batch of stock evaporates or is absorbed, before you add
the next ladle full of stock. Stir almost constantly. This should take
about 15 minutes until the rice is just barely tender.
If rice is tender, but not all the stock is used don't worry. Probably the
heat was a bit too low. Start eating! If all stock is used but the rice is
not yet tender, just keep adding boiling water until rice is cooked.
Probably the heat was a bit too high.
When rice is tender but still a bit chewy, stir in cheese and butter if you
are using them. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Spoon risotto into
warmed wide serving bowls or plates.
Place a "tree" of chives in the centre of each. Sprinkle with cheese curls.
Serve immediately.

A Message from our Provider:

“There’s hope. There’s God.”

What is the response of homosexuals and lesbians to anyone who says that homosexuality is a sin? They simply say this person is filled with hate; he or she is a homophobe; he or she hates homosexuals. Someone said this is like the Surgeon General’s putting this warning on each package of cigarettes: “Warning: Smoking may be dangerous to your health.” What did this prove? It proved only that the Surgeon General was a smokophobe and that he hated everyone who smoked cigarettes (James Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe).

For if [a Christian] cannot thank and praise God as well in calamities and sufferings as in prosperity and happiness, he is as far from the piety of a Christian as he that only loves them that love him is from the charity of a Christian. For to thank God only for such things as you like is no more a proper act of piety than to believe only what you see is an act of faith. Resignation and thanksgiving to God are only acts of piety when they are acts of faith, trust and confidence in the divine goodness.
