This was actually really good! I was surprised. Be ware though: Saffron is expensive...almost as much as gold. ha. Also next time I make this I would add more onion (but that's just me!)

I had the yummiest paella in Spain made by my friend's mother! There's a picture of it on my blog. This recipe looks good. Hope it turns out great! :)
My wife is a great cook! It was really tasty! ;-)
Saffron is actually the most expensive spice in the world I think.. it is used in Indian cooking as well.
