It's highly unlikely I can get to this until the weekend.... but if you've all made it... don't wait for me... I'll still linkup to your posts... and I can pick up anyone who might be straggling along like me.

I totally won't mind if you all go ahead without me... (I'm a weird deadline stickler... and never want to mess anyone's up!) It's cool if you want to wait too. Embarassed

Hi Everybody!
I made the paella, but I don't blog.. so do I just put it on here?
Well, I guess that's what I'm gonna do!

My paella was pretty close to a total disaster, so I'm posting about it so the rest of you can appreciate your own attempt a little more.

First of all, I cut the recipe in half (Thank God!) Then I used 3 chicken breasts and 3 thighs instead of a whole chicken (since I had them in the freezer) I used a couple of Italian sausages instead of chorizo because I didn't think I would like it and I already had Italian. I used regular ham, a pound of shrimp, 2 talapia fillets, 12 oz. of crab meat + 2 crab leg clusters and two dozen mussels. Oh, and I used a red pepper and a green pepper chopped up. Other than that I followed the original ingredients and instructions...... sort of.

I had another problem, my oven died so I made the whole thing on the top of the stove in a big frying pan.

It looked good... but it was kind of boring and parts were yucky!
OK, I never used mussels before.... are you supposed to"do" something to them before you cook them... I mean other than wash them? They were yucky and gross looking. I thought they would just taste like clams.

I used imitation crab meat and it was gross....I'll never buy that again.

Although the rice was good... it didn't have a whole lot of flavor, like say Spanish Rice does.

I didn't think I changed anything that would really make a big difference, but I guess I did.... because it didn't even look like everybody else's!

Oh well, toss that one! I tried at least.
