Chris and I made paella Tuesday night, for the first time ever. It is one of our favorite dishes. It was difficult. There is no way I could have made it by myself. We didn't follow the recipe exactly. We used what they had at the grocery store. Publix was out of mussels and clams, so we used extra shrimp and scallops. And I didn't cook an entire chicken, I just roasted some tenderloins in the oven. We cut the recipe in half, but we still could have fed about eight people. The hard work was worth it. It was DELICIOUS! Chris said that paella is like life, you just gotta use whatever ya got.

I've had paella one time, and I really liked it. I don't like "sea creatures" but since the stuff is in such big chunks it was easy to pick out the chicken. haha
I was in a real Spanish restaurant in New York City, and there was definitely a pitcher of sangria involved, which may or may not have influenced my enjoyment...
