Italian food

Tonight for dinner we had risotto from a bag -- you know a kit with the rice and flavorings, etc. Just add water and stir. I had dragged Dan to this Italian grocery store earlier in the week and we got several packets there. Unfortunately, turns out it was more authentic than I'd anticipated. All the cooking instructions were in Italian! Here's how Babel Fish (babelfish.yahoo.com) translated it (seems sort of "Silence of the Lambs" to me):

It pours the content of the envelope in average liter d' cold water, 950 mililiter if you want to prepare two envelopes. It stirs and door to bollore. You make to cook to medium fire, without cover, for 15 minuteren approximately, until all l' water has not been absorbed. It stirs every now and then, sporattutto to fine baking. For risotto a still more cremoso and mantecato, you add to a butter walnut or a spoon d' oil extravergine d' olive and of the grattugiato $parmesan. It stirs well and you serve.

Unbelievably, it turned out well and both girls said "yum"!
