The cook-off

A few weeks ago we kicked off spring with a paella cook-off. Why a paella cook off you may ask? I have 4 brothers, out of the 4, 3 served their LDS mission in beautiful Spain, and all 3 went to different regions of the country.

They are constantly bragging about how theirs is the best paella. So in order to put the arguing to rest we had a cook-off, we ate, we judged and a winner was pronounced.

I happen to think that all three paella's were delicious and in my book they were all winners. But if they all want to have another duel to prove theirs is the best, I will gladly welcome that.

Our taste buds went to Spain.

This past weekend some friends and I decided it was time for a paella party. Some years back I had no idea what a paella was. Since then I have been introduced to this amazing dish, thanks to the fact that I have 3 brothers that served a mission in Spain. It has now become one of my favorite dishes.

The ambiance, the food, the friends, all came together for a splendid evening.

For a minute, I forgot that I wasn't in lovely Espana--but it was just as lovely.
