My wild rices always seem to take forever, take way more stock than I prepare for, yet never come out as soft, creamy or chewy as I'd like. Any tips? It all, as usual, looks glorious. :) Did you have any difficulties turning your black rice into risotto?

I added a shallot, coarse sea salt, a blob of sharp dijon mustard, some champagne vinegar and a bunch of basil leaves to the bowl of the machine, pulsed it a few times to chop everything, then turned the motor on and let it go while I added olive oil. I mixed in some mustard seeds at the end. Marie - one of these days you and I are going to have a drink together. Count on it. :) Sean - Thank you!

That nice clear drink with a piece of lemon peel. I need it now. The peas looks so...green. (Weeping softly to itself at a desk on the Lower East Side.)
