2nd Cook - Paella!

Finished my second cook on the LBGE today with Paella for lunch. This dish made me excited to buy the egg in the first place. I was super happy with the result. I got the recipe from 'Paella!: Spectacular Rice Dishes From Spain' by Penelope Casas. I also ordered a bunch of the "hard to get" ingredients from Amazon, including: Calasparra rice, Spanish saffron, and smoked Spanish paprika. As far as local ingredients, I used - chicken, squid, chorizo from Spain (not Mexican), prawns, and mussels. Highly recommend! Oh, and I used a 14" carbon steel paella pan from paella pans.com

    Looks like a winner to me. Excellent job. Enjoy my friend.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Wow that looks delicious and the pic belongs on a magazine cover. 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
