I manage to avoid too many oil splatters luckily this time, so I’m not discouraged to make these again. <BR/><BR/>Matleena – teretulemast Nami-nami blogisse ja aitäh heade sõnade eest! Ma eraldi kauplust Tallinnas ei tea, aga kui lähed Tallinna Keskturule, siis sealt leiad suluguni ja brõnsa juustu, khmeli-suneli maitseainesegu, aserbaidžaani granaatõunamahla jms. <BR/><BR/>Suzana – do give this risotto a go – it’s a nice and easy recipe!<BR/><BR/>Maria – it’s interesting how food fashion change indeed! I’ve got some Estonian Christmas recipes on the blog already (f.ex. <A HREF="http://nami-nami.blogspot.com/2005/12/estonian-christmas-cookies.html" REL="nofollow">piparkoogid</A>, <A HREF="http://nami-nami.blogspot.com/2005/12/spirited-cooking.html" REL="nofollow">boozy sauerkraut</A>, <A HREF="http://nami-nami.blogspot.com/2005/12/perfect-for-christmas-spicy-sugared.html" REL="nofollow">sugared almonds</A>), but I’ll keep you in mind when posting this November-December. <BR/>Re: Estonian cheese – I like Atleet and Eesti Juust and Vene Juust, as well as Kostroma and Saida caraway cheese. I know Havarti from Denmark, and that’s indeed closest to the ‘typical’ Estonian cheese. <BR/><BR/>Lydia – I’ll try arancini with all my future risottos, too!<BR/><BR/>Lobstersquad – I’m sure you can come up with some Spanish pumpkin dishes :) <BR/><BR/>Jeanne – well, I was quite quick this time :) <BR/><BR/>Emma – so nice to hear from you!!! What’s the pumpkin cake you’re making? I’ve got some pumpkin left, too. Kisses to M!<BR/><BR/>Shaun – I like Marigold Vegetable Bouillon, but I don’t know if it’s available in NZ. Has plenty of flavour imho. And thank you again for a great arancini recipe!<BR/><BR/>Nan – I’ve been looking more into grains recently as well, especially buckwheat and barley. <BR/><BR/>Thredahlia – igati väärt retsept oli, nii et void teha küll :)<BR/>K&S, Kalyn, Meeta, The Cooking Ninja, Peter M – thank you!Pillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817049547134774699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-12098441570199574432007-11-13T10:03:00.000+02:002007-11-13T10:03:00.000+02:00Kahtlustan, et kõrvitsarisoto on ka mul lähitulevi...Kahtlustan, et kõrvitsarisoto on ka mul lähitulevikus plaanis :P kõigi muude kõrvitsakatsetuste kõrval...<BR/>Kuidas Sulle see konkreetne retsept meeldis?Thredahliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15275313477918569026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-13189395634207026812007-11-11T05:16:00.000+02:002007-11-11T05:16:00.000+02:00Pumpkin risotto, wow!

I almost never use vegetable stock because I find it is never flavourful enough...I don't know what I'm doing wrong or over-doing.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you enjoyed the <I>arancini</I>. It is a great leftover recipe. I dare say, it encourages one to cook too much risotto just so there is the possibility of <I>arancini</I> within a couple of days.Shaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345640038135299538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-2216565640073793972007-11-07T23:37:00.000+02:002007-11-07T23:37:00.000+02:00Hi Pille, I have a new PC at last and can get onto...Hi Pille, I have a new PC at last and can get onto your site!

We feed the animals with them, and In the old times here in Spain (in Galicia), where we are living now, the cereals such as corn and rice were given to the pigs!!!!!!! The world is full of surprises. <BR/>I have no idea why pumpkin is so popular and how on earth the corn is wasted on stables.<BR/>I am looking forward to your Christmas postings. I am in desperate need for recipes that could resemble the Estonian feasts. Can you "estonianize" something accessible to us in Spain?<BR/>By the way, atleet is the favorite of my family, also hiirte, and to resemble their flavor I get Havarti from any supermarket chain of Europe, had not you used the same type while in Scotland? It is really simlar. <BR/>Ole tubli ja ette tänades MariaC.Mariajaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922888192047147894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-30696524979693536682007-11-06T23:31:00.000+02:002007-11-06T23:31:00.000+02:00I have to try the risotto.
