All weekend i had been gearing myself up to make risotto, and not just any risotto but my cheesy corn, pea and pumpkin baked risotto, using the fail safe donna hay baked risotto recipe as a base. i was convinced we had all the ingredients in the pantry, and didn't bother to check anything. i was so certain i had everything i needed, that i roasted the pumpkin, cooked the onion, garlic and corn and added them to the casserole dish before wandering into the pantry to get the stock-but it wasn't there. telling myself it must be sitting right in front of me and i just wasn't seeing it, i turned the pantry upside down. still no stock.
