Making arancini just got easier with this clever shortcut
This is no news to parents, but here it goes anyway: Kids just don't know how good they have it.
Take Anna Gass. When she was growing up in New Jersey, she said, she didn't appreciate her mother's risotto. 'I was so spoiled,' said Gass, who hosts 'Instant Italian' on the FYI Network. 'My mother was putting in all this great stuff, like porcini mushrooms, and I was like, 'Yuck! Porcini mushrooms!'' Even more to the point, Gass realized that if she pushed the risotto around her plate rather than eat it, the odds increased that the next day her mother would turn the leftovers into one of her favorite dishes: arancini.
