True... I thought mention of my potato, as figuring later, could be
useful.. and completeness needed Richard's rice (a usual choice for him,
by the way).  I didn't mention the salad course... ;)  Or my odd soup
substituted therefor... :)

 ML>> The risottogoo was worth a mention for its gooiness and
 ML>> cheesiness. The term is used various inauthentic ways, see below.
 
Yeah, another cheesy version...  Dave Miller, at church, makes a pretty
good authentic risotto... he's put the effort in a few times for church
dinners... :)

 ML>> There was enough meat leftover to provide the basis of a hash
 ML>> dinner for 3 later.
 NB>> And that was just from your portion..  :)

Certainly sizable... :)  The food was good enough, with the size
portions definitely a good value...  If we went back, I'd be inclined to
maybe try from the seafood entrees... or the lamb shank...  It would
have to be a special occasion, though, as it is above our usual price
range...  :)

 ML> The Sicilian calamari was especially tasty and would have fed
 ML> two slavering wolves.

That one well supplied the three of us....  ;)   Making a meal from
appies there is certainly a viable option... ;)
