This is a dish I'd been meaning to try for a while, and it was additionally a good use of leftover Thanksgiving ham.
Verdict: Homey, comforting, and not hard to make though it was a bit time consuming. If I had the ingredients on hand I'd make it again.

RECIPE: Risi e Bisi (Hank Shaw, Simply Recipes)
I saw this pop up in the Smitten Kitchen newsletter and it sounded good and nice for cooler fall weather.
Verdict: Partner loved it. I thought it was good even though I am not a mushroom lover. If someone I know loved mushrooms and asked me to make them something I would definitely make it again.
