I thought it was, "more awesomeness".  Seriously, I love paella.

[Geo]

Good paella is great food

The only thing I like from Spain besides its women, is Ibanez, who made the 'Paling en Ko' comics:

Sorry Seul.

This is a good thing from Spain: http://www.jamon.com/shopiberico.html

[Seul]

Haha you know I can't agree with that, lad!..

But to keep it light (and off topic, I'm afraid), more covers from Paling & Ko… I have a complete collection of their comics, of course!..

Today was another simple meal for us- chili.  I live in Texas, where there is a very strict perception of what chili is, but I don't really like Texas style chili.  I use our family recipe, instead.  Pretty basic, but really tasty.

Start by browning some ground meat (Mom uses beef, I use turkey).

Sweat some chopped celery and red onion,

Add some red kidney beans, tomato soup and spices, then let simmer for about 4 hours.  When it cooks down to a brown-orange color and a nice thick consistency, it's ready to eat.

Oh, and two things,

1. Seul- there have to be other things from Spain that you like.  C'mon, I've seen you wearing espadrilles; they're from Spain.
2. Hectic- I'm with you, jamon iberico is amazing stuff.

Hehehe, this made me giggle 

I know lots of people adore paella, I'm not a fan (especially if it includes squid/octopus - sorry, I can't eat anything with tentacles which has made Japan a challenge on occasions)  :o

[Chris]

Mmmm, tentacles…

[hectic]

Tentacles are the best bits! I for one wlecome our new Cthulu lunch.

[hectic]

this is one of my weekly meals. get it going, throw some heat-mats between the gas and the pot, simmer that baby down. a good pot will last me a few days of meals (and constant snackin)
