    Fantastic cook. Love the idea of cajun paella. I'd be all over that like white on bomba rice!

    Man I wish I could get crawfish in the midwest.  That looks freaking fantastic.  Nicely done @Henapple.

    Paella on the naked whiz website. Just have everything sitting in place and ready. I imagine you could come up with a lot of different combinations. The crawfish tails were frozen wild and the whole were cooked/frozen... And yes, they sucked. Merely for looks. I would use more okra next time. I highly recommend the rice/veggie trial run. I did miss the scallops.

    Once you get the paella basics down it's a lot of fun to experiment. That looks delicious!

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.
