I'm going to make some starting in an hour or two. SWMBO is getting off work no earlier than 8, and it doesn't take long to make.
For now this is a placeholder.
I was reading up on it, has been years since I made it, and I found this gem:
The abuses committed in the name of Paella Valenciana, are excessive - an absolute scandal.

Abuse on, brother!

No recipe. My goals are: proper broth (water):rice ratio. Don't overcook the seafood. Manage salinity.

Did the same thing here tonight
SWMBO made a pretty awesome salad
I'm not usually one for white wine, but this paired nicely.

All I will offer is the following from @SciAggie and is the best way I have found to nail the soccarrat:
"Soccarrat - There is a trick I've learned to making a consistent soccarrat. Push the tines of a fork against the bottom of the pan and scrape it back and forth - to feel the bottom. It slides easily as the rice is cooking. As the soccarrat develops, the fork will begin to "stick" a little - that's the rice browning. Once that happens around the pan, it's done. Rotate the pan around the fire to make sure you toast things evenly."
Enjoy the cook and the follow-on banquet. Gonna be great.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -

@SGH: I feel like we see your shaving products, but never the final results. Assuming that it’s your face (or head) you’re shaving, let’s see how those products are working out for you.

I realize you are giving @nolaegghead the business here but much like "the friggin cow drives the cook" with protein, with paella, "the friggin rice drives the cook." I'm sure you will be justly rewarded.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

Note: I said above it is possible he lives in his mom's basement and doesn't have any friends. I know that is factually incorrect. I have seen his house, been inside his house, met his mom (who doesn't live in his house). I also have met those that have claimed to be his friends. Therefor, I suggest my former theory is correct and accurate rather than my latter.They/Them
