And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

One of this summer's resolutions: Learn to make great paella
The big problem with cooking Paella is carefully timing the adding of ingredients so everything is neither over cooked nor under cooked at the end. It's a problem I have not really fully solved. I hate over cooked sea food with perfect rice and crunchy vegetables.
The hardest thing to add is patience. You have to wait for it to dry up and then for the socarat to caramelize and then just the right moment when the socarat becomes crispy.
Tried that many years ago.
ReplyDeleteWasn't sure if it was really "paella", but it tasted good.
My Son and his wife went to Barcelona on a foodie tour and went to Paella school and I still have not got my Paella.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like one serving. Mine!
