As far back as my great grandfather...my grandmother and her sisters remember him standing over his paellera, drinking wine...and then tossing some in :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Jen!

We love the water bottles too :) We just have to find some cool stoppers now...<BR/><BR/>Hello Pinaygourmand! I know what you mean...I love the anticipation of the treats I know I'm going to get when I travel...but I guess if I had them around all the time they would lose some of their allure...hehe :) Thanks for the claypot suggestions! Do you know some actually say that paella was made in clay pots before? Well, more like a clay dish...they say the same thing about tortilla de patata...<BR/><BR/>Hello Socky2u! Glad you are enjoying :) I haven't seen a clay pot this size around here either, although I have bought a round clay dish (for cooking) in Rustan's. I also have a palayok, heehee :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Mae! Will see about who carries the paella torch...C or me :) The tea towels and argyle print towel were from Zara Home...the have such adorable stuff! We have brown sugar here, which I guess is what demerara is, but the crystals aren't as big...although there is a coffee shop here that sells big sugar crystals...Have fun in Thailand! I hope this means more Thai curry posts! Hooray! :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Angelika! Yes, it was like C and I relived a bit of the excitment of our trip when we opened the box :) I love using things that have happy memories connected to them, not just the memory of buying them at a department store, heehee :) I will check out that global no knead bread now!<BR/><BR/>Hi Midge! Yes, a cult classic that Cola Cao ;) I really enjoy going to the groceries wherever I visit and getting a peek of everyday eating in a foreign country.
