Well, today I have many things to tell and I will begin by the first. I do not know if you have noticed something different when you enter the blog. I made a small change, did you guess? Yes, I deleted the background music to my regret, for the record. So Martin's mother will not have to complain because you wake the child every time he goes to read the blog (Leti owe me one.) I guess one more will be glad of the news. The truth is that it gives me a little sad. Good for what I am going to cheat, a lot, so a few days I have been resisting this decision. I love music and enter the blog and feel so quiet, I'm a little juju. It's like I wake up in the morning and raise the shade, instead of seeing a bright sun, contemplating a leaden gray sky, overcast, in a word, sad. Actually, I understand that in the Nordic countries the number of suicides is much higher. To me that makes me sad gray sky and that's how I feel the blog without the background music. And the joy and vitality that I do not know if I could have brought so much enthusiasm the discovery of the books by Tessa Kiros. So for the good of all (heh, heh, heh, heh) he decidido que a partir de este momento la música irá solo en cada post. Así el que quiera podrá escucharla pinchando en el reproductor sin que se active por defecto nada más entrar en el blog. Y como a mi me gusta tenerla puesta mucho rato, he copiado la misma canción unas cuantas veces para que se repita sin parar (je,je,je). Espero que de esta manera todos podamos disfrutar más y mejor del blog, sin incomodidades. Ya me diréis qué os parece.
Bueno y ahora a lo que toca, celebrar el pase a semifinales de la selección española de balonmano. Ayer ganaron a una de las favoritas, Islandia (actual subcampeona olímpica y medalla de bronce en el último europeo) y se aseguraron así el pase to the semifinals. These guys play like angels. Though his physical appearance one imagines as the Greek heroes of old, without his loincloth, of course (heh, heh, heh). I ran over like a steamroller. You should have seen the first time, sensational. The rest went with ten goals difference on the scoreboard. Icelanders then put the batteries but could do nothing to avoid the crushing 32-24. These guys are great, are made of sterner stuff, like all great athletes. To give you an idea just say that two of the best players in our selection (Alberto and Raul Entrerríos) lost his mother (still young, with 60 years) on 25 December. The blow prevented the two brothers were present at the preparatory stage the World Cup. Since then only if they have spent a few weeks and its great professionalism, tenacity and ability to overcome have been able to subdue the pain to get the best out of themselves. Surely your mother, wherever you are, you will feel very proud of them. Lao Tzu once said: " One who achieves a victory over other men is strong but he achieves a victory over itself is powerful." Hopefully their efforts and all his companions will be rewarded, they deserve it. Good luck and thanks for letting us enjoy your magic.
And to celebrate, as it deserves, such an event (since 2005 were not in a semifinal), a recipe just as spectacular as the game yesterday. The pictures here do no justice at all. Although not very photogenic the poor, I think is the most delicious rice I've ever tasted. And I say I'm not very much rice. The wine gives a dramatic touch. If you do not know how to prepare this weekend take note, do not disappoint. And of course, how could it be otherwise, the recipe is inspired by the books of my beloved Tessa Kiros. What, there's still someone who does not know? Then click here and here. The truth is that her recipe for rice to Tuscany hardly at all like my version except the touch of rice wine and, of course. But the result was perfect. The combination of chicken and rabbit, mushrooms, sausage ... is explosive. Encourage you because you will love.
INGREDIENTS 2 quarts beef broth (or water), 2 chicken thighs cut in half through the joint, 1 rack of rabbit split into three pieces, the two front legs of a rabbit, 250 grs. mushrooms (shiitake), 1 medium onion, 1 red onion, 1 clove garlic, 1 sausage, 2 glasses of wine, 5 pots of rice, 100 grams. Parmesan, oil and parsley.

start sautéing the sausage meat and soon we will have cut into thick slices, in batches. As they are sealing the pieces we removed to a plate and reserve. Chop onions and sauté rather small in the fire where we will first golden flesh. We let the vegetables fry 5 minutes and then add the mushrooms and we clean. I cut into small cubes and they were wonderful. The braise and season. Then add the rice. Sauté for a minute. It's time to add our two glasses of red wine. Stir and let a couple of minutes for the alcohol to evaporate. From there we started add broth spoonful by spoonful. Unlike our paella, risotto does not incorporate all the liquid at once from the start. What we will incorporate with a ladle, slowly, but never removing our rice. When the rice has absorbed the scoop that you just added is the time to incorporate the next and so that our rice is just right, after about 18 minutes. The appearance at this time should be that of a slightly soupy rice off the heat because we will add the Parmesan cheese that will take slightly thickened body and staying with that aspect so characteristic creamy risottos. This type of rice do not need rest and better serve almost immediately because if we let go by minutes the rice will absorb the broth and coming when it will start to become more mellow. So sprinkle with parsley and you're ready to enjoy this delicious risotto. Ummm .....
