Hello my Darlings!!!!

[Lissie]

Lissie--tell me how you do Paella--

I don't like the bottom crusty. I don't know how to make it that way.

I think the pot is the most important ingredient of the paella.

I make my paella a little soupy, not watery.

I use saffron in mine and crush it and squeeze some lemon and lime in there. Let that sit for a minute. Then add it to the sofrito later.

Then i make sofrito,Make a sofrito:
Sautee chopped onions, mushed fresh garlic, chopped tomatoes and bay leaf in olive oil, until onion is translucent. Add some oregano(well, I make the paella cuban-ish) maybe not the way it is supposed to be.

Then just follow the rest of the recipe regarding the rice, and i don't add pork to mine, tho some people do add chicken and pork.

I do mine only seafood, and whenever the recipe calls for water, I add beer instead.



As for Mitch, and you being pissed. Well I would be too. So feel it, go with it. It will roll off your back soon enough.

You are to wonderful to let it get to you.

I am sorry you are tired.

Just remember, you can't sell them and stuff, so just try to like them soon enuff, when you are ready. Love you.

Walked Hamilton Park , where we drove you and Auggie. It was a beautiful walk and the skyline looked lovely.

Jeny and I were thinking of you.
