Something new: Paella

Paella is a dish that I have been looking forward to making. It's the quintessential Spanish dish combining saffron with rice, meat and seafood. Finding ingredients for this dish shouldn't be hard to do, but for some strange reason it was for me. I ended up going to 3 supermarkets and a butcher to find some chorizo. Normally it shouldn't be that difficult to find, but I was looking for some fresh made stuff or some Spanish chorizo which is a lot harder to find then I thought. I ended up with some from whole foods, not the greatest in the world, but it worked.

I was a little dissapointed with the taste, I think it was under seasoned. It wasn't really that bad, but I think I could have made it a lot better then I did. The thing with Paella is that it is hard to make a small batch so I ended up with a ton of it. Next time I will have to scale back or wait for a long time to make it again
