Because I was good-naturedly razzin' the chef for being Portuguese ("what the hell does a Portuguese know about making paella?") he gave us the caramelized rice from the bottom of the pot - which is the best part of the whole dish ;)Yes yes yes....the paella was excellent as was everything at the restaurant. I guess we were lucky Serge wasn't at our table! | ||

He filled us in on the history and 'local' (in Spain) variations while he was filling up! BTW, he did share the paella 'candy' and flan. In fact I finished off the 'candy' while Serge was razzing the cook... ;) | ||

Joined: September 2003 Posts: 9301 Location: south east Michigan | Here's a highlight for me & Brian. Playing in front of a crowd with Matt Smith. In hindsite I've thought of a couple things I would have done different but it sure was fun. StephenT was nice enough to help us out on the cahone(?). I remember counting the song off for Stephen. Then the next thing I knew I was sitting back down. I wonder how it turned out?? This about sums it up for me. Happy-Happy-Joy-Joy | ||
