I know what you mean...but I know I’ve got to have notes to act as a framework if I want to repeat the dish...so I buy myself pretty notebooks and pens to encourage me :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Kevin! Go for it! :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks Ximena! We were! It was hilarious :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Guel! We just used the rice we use for everyday, haha...it’s labelled as “organic rice from Thailand” and we get it from Market! Market! I love it because it smells incredible when you’re cooking it, it’s got a nice grain, and it’s not too dry/not too wet :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Helen! It’s a great combination isn’t it? :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Sohpie...I’ve seen Key Ingredient already and am in the process of uploading a recipe :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Whit.ing! Haha!

I bought the prawns at our neighbourhood weekend market...there is a seafood stall with all sorts of gorgeous specimens :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Candishhh! There was! I love the <I>tutong</I> in paella ;)<BR/><BR/>Hi Zlamushka! Yes! I bought the big prawns specifically for “insurance” to make it look swanky just in case, heehee :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Rosa! Thank you :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks Peabody! I am always so tempted with the prawns and shrimps at the market...this time I indulged myself :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Manggy! Oh my gosh...hahaha! Before making this the pan was still in the Terry’s bag! Let me tell you, I just used the rice that we regularly use for everyday...my mom never really bought special rice for paella so I didn’t either ;) I’m sure you will make a fantastic paella...easier than risotto...no stirring!<BR/><BR/>Hi Dhanggit! Dancing always helps my cooking so go ahead! :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Katrina! Aw! Thanks :) It was really fun...exciting and at the same time suspenseful! We were nervous how it would turn out! And it was so nice to see C so <I>nasasarapan</I> from something he made himself :)<BR/><BR/>Hi Patricia! I had to laugh out loud when I saw your comment because our eating cultures must have something in common...I can so imagine someone from here saying that in all seriousness!<BR/><BR/>Hi Meeta! Rice most definitely rocks! I grew up with it as a staple and I’m a big fan :) We still have a ways to go with our paella...more experimenting, different combinations...I’m looking forward to it!<BR/><BR/>Hi Suzana! Thank you :) We hadn’t either when we made this so the time was right!<BR/><BR/>Hi Oggi! Thanks for the tip! I actually have a box of coffee filters lying around doing nothing because my coffee maker has its own filter...must remember that...for the labneh too...<BR/><BR/>Thanks Marvin! You have no idea how I am itching to make a heavy metal vs hip hop joke...but I will desist :) The pan is a standard issue paellera that I got from a local Spanish deli...not that heavy but pretty sturdy. My mom has even used a wok/kawali before (although this makes it harder to cook evenly)! I’ve heard they sometimes use a clay dish to make it too...ChichaJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143881216169572999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448190.post-44914260973370089652008-07-22T23:01:00.000+08:002008-07-22T23:01:00.000+08:00It looks fantastic for your first paella!
