I got some of the coolest birthday presents this year. one of them was from my wonderful friend, tanya. she gave me a gift of different spanish foods from a company called zingermans (how had i never heard of them??) -- just in case i haven't talked about it enough in various and sundry places over the year plus that i've been blogging, i lived in spain for a year (in madrid). i have two spanish cookbooks, but i've not done anything with them in many MANY years. so getting this gift box with fideos and yummy torta de aceite and amazing dark chocolate cocoa, i got cooking! fideua is much like paella, but with fideo noodles - fideos are small thin (like vermicelli width) noodles - but really small/short. they are yummy and i had them a lot while in madrid. i'd never made paella nor had i made this kind of fideua. it turned out REALLLY well!!! not only did rob and i like it, but irene loved it (what wasn't to love, in her world - it had shrimp, scallops, calamari, halibut - all gooooooood!) and rhys ate it too.
THANK YOU TANYA, CURTIS, ROSE, & MAX!!!!!!
