css 2.0 !
Yesterday I hadn’t time to draw something for today’s post, because I spent half of the time working on the new css and new typical blog features… I let you discover… As I’m not a web developer, it takes me time and time to understand so simple things… and I still have some details to correct.
Because the sun is gone this morning, here is a cute risotto dish (DIM - did it myself) to finish the week with an italian touch.

Une seule remarque : “Subscribe to rss by email”, c’est un non sens, c’est comme si tu écrivais “Recevez vos mails par la poste”, mais ce n’est qu’un détail.
ah?
bon, je trouverai une formulation plus claire alors :)
… va sano e lontano ! Grazie Emilie ! Lo sai che il risotto è il piatto che preferisco ? Felice serata a te, a presto, un bacione, Christine :-)
MIAM ! MIAM ! Et puis, merci à toi, car en venant quotidiennement, je bosse mon anglais … Et puis, y a du boulot ! Moi, aussi, j’y vais “piano” ! “Bom fim de semana”(en échange je te laisse quelques petites notions de portugais) … Vive le TROC !
Oh so cute! I love risotto.
Molto grazie Christine, il risotto alla milanese è anche uno dei piatti che preferisco…
Merci Elodie pour les notions de portugais ! le troc, c’est un système qui me plaît bien comme système d’apprentissage des langues :)
Thank you Simon, and also for your special “Chritsmas card” which I found yesterday in my mail box !
Hi! Reuben the Rabbit here. I hope you are well Mili!
Thankyou for your compliments about my vast and huge knowledge of astro-physics and the solar system.
I am very clever and well educated, because I was taught at Rabbit School. I am very happy to share my knowledge and education with others.
Not only am I an expert at astro-physics and science, I am also an expert on the history of Italian food.
“Risotto” is called “risotto” because it is a combination of two Italian words: “Risorgimento” and “Sotto” (from “sotto voce”, which means to whisper.)
This is because risotto was invented during the Risorgimento (which means “the Italian Rice Revolution.”)
There were some Italian food revolutionaries called the “Carbonari” (which is Italian for “supporters of carbohydrates”.) The Carbonari thought that Italian people were not eating enough carbohydrates, and so they invented the rice dish risotto.
However, the reigning Italian authorities were opposed to risotto, because they wanted Italian people to eat ONLY pasta. So they passed an ordinance that anybody who was seen or heard eating or cooking or even TALKING about risotto would be put in prison.
This is why anybody in Italy who talked about risotto (for example, if they were ordering it in a restaurant) had to whisper (talk in Sotto Voce) in case any authorities heard them.
And that is how risotto got its name.
This information is 100% historically accurate.
I am so glad to be living in an age where we are free to eat risotto without being imprisoned or persecuted.
