Soak your mushrooms in 1 cup of boiling water for 20 minutes. 

Bring your chicken stock to the boil, and once boiling turn down to a low simmer. 

Once the mushrooms are hydrated and plump, drain the water and add it to the chicken stock.

Heat the oil in your skillet on med to high

Add the arborio rice, and stir for 1 minute, ensuring to coat the grains of rice with the olive oil.

Turn the heat down to medium. Add the Mushrooms, mixed herbs and start adding chicken broth, 1/2 cup at a time, and stir until all the broth is absorbed by the rice. You may need approximately 4-5 cups of broth and approximately 40 minutes or so. Please enjoy this process! Risotto is one of those recipes that with a glass of wine in hand you can stir away the stresses of the day. 

Once the rice has completely absorbed the broth, you are ready to season to taste with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder. Garnish with some dried parsley flakes and enjoy!

10 Storage Ideas for Small Living ....

When living in small places like a yacht we need to be inventive when it comes to our storage solutions. On many occasions we need to store goods that will last us for many months while we cruise remote areas. Yachts have very awkward storage shapes and sizes that don't ever seem to be square.

Catching and Cooking Mackerel

Grandson Kristian lands his first Mackerel The Spanish mackerel the Spotted mackerel and the School mackerel are probably the most popular of the mackerel species in Australia and a very popular sport fish.   The Spanish mackerel can be mistaken for wahoo, but can be distinguished by the shorter dorsal fin with less (15-18) dorsal spines and the external bone and upper jaw which both extend to just behind the eye. Smaller Spanish mackerel may also be confused for other mackerel species such as slimy mackerel. They are blue to grey on their dorsal side (back) with many narrow vertical bands along their sides and a grey-silver colour on their belly. The Spotted Mackerel is easily identified with four rows of large black spots over its sides. The School mackerel is the smallest of mackerel caught along the coast. They have two or three rows of large dark blotches, with a white patch on the dorsal fin. They are great fighters with excessive speeds in the water.
