I have to thank my girlfriend Jodie for introducing me to Paella. She is more adventurous than I am, and a few weeks ago she convinced me to try a new Spanish dish that she made in her cooking class. The dish is served in a large wok-type pan (called a palleras), and contained rice, shrimp, lobster, vegetables and spicy seasonings. It looked great and tasted delicious (although a bit spicy). Luckily, Jodie and I also shared a bottle of our favorite wine with dinner to cool the spices. Since then I have wanted to make paella myself so I have been searching for a paella pan online. I did find the pan, and during my search I also found that one of my favorite websites offers a Paella Gift Set – complete with wine! Unfortunately I couldn’t order this for myself (wine cannot be shipped to Minnesota), but I thought the set was a great idea for a wedding gift. The gift set contains the paella pan, paella rice, saffron, spicy paprika, Spanish tapas plates for serving and a bottle of Campo Viejo Tempranillo Reserva Rioja. If you know an adventurous couple who enjoys new flavors, this gift set is a great deal at $76 plus shipping. Just make sure that they will be home when you send it because gifts with alcohol require an adult signature for delivery.
