My first full meal!!

Usually when I cook, I cook only one dish out of the meal, and my wife takes care of the sides.  Well this night, thanks to all that I have learned I cooked a full meal by myself. (Well ok, the wife did steam the broccoli to help me out.)  The menu for tonight was Braised Beef Short Ribs over a bed of Mushroom Risotto with Steamed Broccoli.  The Risotto was fabulous, and the Short Ribs were pretty good.  The liquid never did reduce down and thicken up enough and we got tired of waiting. All of the podcasts have been great, and have given me more confidence in the kitchen.  Thanks Chef Burton, and everyone on the forums!!
