Oxford Cafe -- Lunch deal
2 slices cheese pizza
1 diet coke
Arugula, grape tomato, fresh mozzarella salad
Arancini -- These fried risotto balls are a tasty and pretty fun way to use leftover risotto, which is otherwise pretty useless. Just form the rice into balls, stick a piece of meltable cheese that you like (I did fresh mozz) in the middle, reform the ball around it, batter with flour, egg, bread crumbs, put in a pot of 2-3 inches of vegetable oil at medium-high heat so that they are pretty much covered and deep fry. Fry them for around 4 minutes until golden brown. Remove from pot with some kind of slotted spoon, cover with tin foil or put in the oven to retain heat so that the cheese melts. Now you have made two hearty meals from that risotto (maybe even more since supposedly you can freeze and then bake the arancini, I will report on this sometime in the future).

I threw out the vegetable oil along with all of the fragrant fried bread bits at the bottom. What is the preferred way to throw out oil that doesn't congeal like bacon grease?
Window.
Luckily below my window is a courtyard which is a giant trash pit.
