We had some friends over for dinner. This was a perfect evening for being outside. I may have gone a little overboard with the seafood but it was delicious. I enjoy this cook, lots of steps but fairly easy if you take your time

    I hope you ended up liking your new friends, because you’ll never get rid of them after feeding them like that.

    I always enjoy looking at a great paella cook. Where do you get your Spanish chorizo? Or maybe what brand? I buy on Amazon, but what I’ve been getting looks much drier than yours. I’d prefer chorizo like you cooked. 
    Coleman, Texas
    Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...
    "Bourbon slushies. Sure you can cook on the BGE without them, but why would you?"

    The best way is to make your own.

    That’s the enabling process I referred to yesterday, lol.
    You know, I do have the space for a climate controlled shipping container or something out back. We decided the commute from Austin wasn’t bad...
