Today we’re having some friends over for paella. I’ve been wanting to cook it for a while. The other day I stopped procrastinating and went ahead and picked up the ingredients at the grocery store.
After we cook this first one, I want to cook it more frequently and incorporate this Spanish tradition back in my life. Being both my paternal grandparents from Alacant (in the Valencian Community), paella has been in my life since I was a child, and it always was a BIG event when we had it (like cooking a turkey for Thanksgiving!). But when I lived in Spain —first in Madrid and then in Valencia—, I learned this was a dish to be cooked every Sunday in the company of family and friends :)
With the weather starting to get nicer and nicer, I’ll aim to cook it at least once every 2 or 3 Sundays!
