2. Add the rice(Arborio, without wash) and reduce the heat to low. Season and stir briefly to thoroughly coat the rice. Add saffron (or turmeric) and white wine to the rice.
3. Increase the heat and cook,stirring until all the liquid has been absorbed.
4. Stir in a ladleful of the simmering stock and cook over moderate heat, stirring continuously.
5. When all of the stock has been absorbed, stir in another ladleful. Continue like this for about 20 mins, until all stock has been absorbed and bring the rice to al dente.
6. Stir in a handful of Parmesan cheese.

Broadway market

London Fields にあるBroadway market、ふつうのマーケットに比べて小さい規模で人もそこまで居なかった。雰囲気はFlower marketに似てるかな。若いオシャレさんが沢山いて、夏になるとlondon fields(公園）にはピクニックする人で埋めつくされてるとのこと。今年の夏はこの周辺に引っ越そうと思っているからそしたらしょちゅう行けるな。

近くにはカフェや本屋、雑貨屋が並んでて絶対面白い。その日はイタリアンのお店でパスタとリゾットを食べたよ。最近はリゾット作りにハマっていたけど本物のシェフが作るリゾットはやっぱり何倍も美味しかった。

今日はマーケットに出店していたHandmadeの化粧品を買ったよ。Honey, Rose, Geraniium, Lavenderなどなどすべてナチュラルなものから作られているのだと。イギリスの化粧品は使うのが怖かったけどこれはdry skinの私の肌にもとっても合う。クリームは固めで好き。

day three in Venice

restrant: AL DOSE

http://maps.google.com/maps/place?cid=327473495345072829&q=AL+dose+venezia&hl=ja

This trip is short time using just 3days off so very quickly past as I thought. The last day sun appeared & give us a much of energy than last 2 days. I think about that I want to explore the place where is hidden or rooted rocal all the time. I believe that nothing special area for the people living there is special for me. So I walked around out of central, south west in Venice.

One of most important purpose was Bar which has many wines from Italy or some are from Venice and some kind of Tapas. The Bar is called Cantine del vino, photo in above. I had a glass of "spiritz" and a few tapas firstly. I saw many neighbors drinks it.That was a bit bitter. And then had a sparkling wine "Prosecco", it was a dry wine. I really like dry wine so lovely! Normally people drink it at night time, after 5 I think but I did it around 2 pm. Despite afternoon but many people came to there and had some tapas and wines inside bar and beside canal. I absolutely come over there again! love there.

I was very sad when I had to leave from my friend's place. It was much worth spending good time.I want to say Thank you very much to my friend
