    On motherfucking point, Jose!

    This Cuban joint in my hometown, El Habanero (RIP), would require a 24-hour advance notice for a paella order. They went out and caught enough that night to start fulfilling the next day’s orders with the freshest seafood that they could personally vouch for. I think at one point they finally needed to hire extra cooks/fisherfolk. I miss that place.

    Yeah, you just knocked it out of the park.  That looks banging.

    Have never tried making paella.  Someday...

    You can do it it’s all about the ingredients and good recipe! You’re at table too 👍

    Whoa, Jose! I had paella once in Spain and this looks a million times better. 

    I can only imagine the taste.

    I can make a mean paella, but I haven't done so in nearly 20 years. I even own a paella pan. I also used to make a good Cuban-style chicken noodle soup. The last time I made these things was actually the first time I invited my now-wife over to my place for dinner. I should break out the old pan and see if the kids will eat paella.

    I need a large kitchen, though. I'm a goddamn disaster when I cook. That's why I've migrated to the charcoal grill outside. I could conceivably make a paella on the grill -- just have to be careful that the saffron doesn't scorch.

    :pensive:

    This woman was recently banned from a Facebook group I’m in. The group’s name: Homemade Italian Recipes. 
    Her crime: arguing too vociferously with another old lady over the other old lady calling her family’s sauce gravy. 

    Hahahaha

    By the way, there’s about a 60% chance you’re gonna see another picture of Grammy’s Gravy in a couple days. This time with meatballs!

    Looks like you did him proud!  The best thing my dad made was German potato salad.  Not my usual preference, but it was the shit (in a good way).

    It’s a beautiful recipe. My old man was eventually a stay a home dad and dedicated his time to volunteer work. He hosted a monthly spaghetti dinner with this exact recipe for hiv patients. 20 or so people on a monthly basis in the 90s and early 2000s.

    Sounds like he was a good man.

    That paella looks amazing, is it served over rice or just as its made?

    The other day I wanted a burger, fast food after a golf range session. I saw a Checkers so I said I'll try them and ordered a burger, double with bacon, oh they charge for lettuce and tomato. After finishing I said out loud now that's the BEST fast food burger I've ever had.

    It really is better than any other, any of you know a better burger joint? I'm in South Florida.

    Sometimes I wish to live where I could get good, authentic Thai food...then again, I'd hate to live somewhere where I couldn't hear the Spring Peepers from my deck.  I doubt there are many place where you can have both 🤔
