Thanks to Brethren ssv ( Sako ) for the recent paella post. I had to give it a try! :grin:

I loved it. I'll be making this again. Thanks again to Sako for the post and inspiration!


Thanks for looking!
 
Holy cow! That's a feast right there. Looks amazing. I want some! :hungry:
 
That looks absurdly fantastic! :shocked:

The cook is amazing and those pix are just bonkers - that's pro level right there!

I love paella - I'll order it and eat the whole double portion when the wife (allergic)
and kids (not interested - but now they might be) won't join me. :oops:

Fabulous work Jeanie! :clap2:

Thanks Greg!! I hope to make this again in the near future. Is it legal to make it without seafood? I don't know much about paella rules. lol Just thinkin' maybe your Mrs could try it without.
Thanks again! :hug:
 
That dish will make your taste buds tired. A very, very good kind of tired.
 
Looks yummy! I would love to try this but the seafood we get around here is awful
 
OMG! Never had paella but your dish looks amazing. :thumb::thumb: I really like the fact you left the shells on the crab and mussels. Great way to take your time eating and enjoying the masterpiece! :biggrin:
 
Inspiring cook! Yes it is illegal to make with out seafood!
 
and all the boys began to cry when you came outside to play

Damn girl, you can kick the can a long way ;-))
