Paella

At first I was unimpressed by Spanish paella. It seemed like an aquarium dumped into orange rice. But I have become rather fond of it over the past months. In Madrid you can even order it to-go. For lunch one day there was a pizza box on the counter, I opened it to find a metal pan filled with rice and tentacles. They let you keep the pan and everything! Sadly I never learned to make it, I could always look for a restaurant that served it in the US but I doubt it would compare to Abuela Carmen's recipe.
