La Paella

Ok so I admit it, I'm scared to make paella. Are any of you going to do it? They make it sound so... er... importante. Muy. Like you need a paella pan, and snails from Spain. And you know what? I have never even eaten la paella. What if it just tastes like Uncle Ben's with saffron? It's a lot of work and maybe la paella just isn't something to write home about in the first place. Still, I feel like the Spanish Table Kookbook Klub wouldn't be autentico without a paella. I'm torn.

Today I am going to the Spanish Table store in Berkeley to see what she's got. Hopefully I will be able to find the Spanish wines that the sangria's call for, but I also want to get some really flavorful Spanish olive oil. Yeah I also want one of those cute flamenco aprons. Perchance I will ask about La Paella. (I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to insist that we all refer to it that way.)

Do you know what you are kooking yet?
