Oh, I’m so sorry to hear about all the back problems! My fiance threw out his back playing tennis last year, and I remember how miserable he was. Ugh. This risotto looks very comforting, though :).

Yikes to back pain. I hope you both feel better. I hear you on not having insurance when you need it. But I hope Jim will find out what’s going on. I’ve had a really painful back injury before (and I couldn’t even get out of bed without mind-numbing pain, and I limped when walking) that took two weeks for the pain to subside. Sometimes you really just have to go get the tests to know for sure what’s wrong.

Don’t think you’re cursed. :P Keep positive.

P.S. The risotto looks awesome.

This is an excellent looking dish,

Sorry about your woes. I feel you, believe me. I’m laid up with gout this week. Pain, pain, and more pain!

But this risotto is bookmarked for sure.

I am on a total whole grain kick lately, brought on by a fab cookbook by a local author. I have a recipe for Farro Risotto, and now I am going to print off this one. I just LOVE barley, and with asparagus, how can you go wrong?

I sure hope Jim’s back feels better soon. That disc issue is nothing to ignore but I am sure you know that.

Ahh, the russian kettle bells. I’ve heard of a few instances where using that particular routine resulted in injury. High intensity for sure, but risky.

I hope Jim feels better asap – herniated *anything* is not fun.

Well at least the two of you aren’t hurt at the same time. I’m glad you are feeling better and hope he is soon.

I feel your pain (not literally) but we’re going through the same thing and wondering can we get a break somewhere?!

Hope you feel better! I recently made a risotto too! Haven’t posted it yet.

Oh you guys sound like us!!! We went through such a series of misfortunes. It does get better though trust me! Get that man some insurance even if it is just the catastrophic kind (only covers emergencies not prevention).

Now about this dish…it looks fantastic. I will have to try this one. I haven’t really done a lot of risotto’s but you make them sound real easy!

I can just see you two, 60 years from now, good-naturedly arguing about who’s suffered the most pain over the decades, all the while still playing footsie between your two beds at the nursing home …

Remember, a heavy amount of garlic is alright if said kisser and kissee are both eating it! ;-)
