Paella!!!!

Long weekend means that i'm itching to put together something. I'm thinking something with loads of seafood and meat ... viola! Stroke of genius! Paella.

Long before . . . i'm talking 4 years ago. During our courtship i'd cook for the boyfriend. Haven't cooked for him for a loooooooong time.

Soapy's paella is more meaty tho. I'm thinking of pulling a cheat. Instead of cooking the chicken parts traditionally. I'm using MSG free chicken broth, incorporating the usual mussels, prawns. (Adding a lil Chinese flavour of dried prawns and scallops) Instead of using Italian sausage like it calls for i'm going to use a fat pork bratwurst. And raisins for some kick.

Chicken served roasted on the side. *drools*
I'm feeling excited already.
