Tomato Risotto

Another fool proof meal from a man that can't cook.

Tomato Risotto
Roast a lasagna dish of tomato's drizzled with olive oil, salt pepper.
In a Le Creuset dish, add 3 table spoons of rapeseed oil.
Fry 1 chopped onion
Add 225ml risotto rice, and stir until coated.
Add 3 clove's crushed garlic.
Add 750ml chicken stock (I used a chicken stock cube).
Bring to boil.
Add oregano.
Place in oven @150C for 15 minutes - check / stir, leaving the lid off.
Take out of the oven when the stock water has been absorbed, and the risotto is a rice pudding consistency.
Now stir in roasted tomatoes from the lasagna dish and add grated Parmesan, and Basil.

SQL SERVER Reporting Services Conditional Formatting trick to format colour

Here's a handy hint / tip for SSRS (sql server reporting services) to quickly reference the current cell.
Me.Value

We can use this "trick" to then quickly handle cell / font formatting.

=IIF(Me.Value < 0,"IndianRed","DarkSeaGreen")

This will be a great time saver, as it'll mean you don't have to lookup the cell name each time you want to perform a conditional format.
eg.
=IIF(ReportItems!Textbox1.Value <0, "IndianRed","DarkSeaGreen")
