bobbie & Paella paella Joe vanita &john Joe, vanita & Paella

John’s brother Joe and sister-in-law, Vanita came to visit us in Spain this past week. As I mentioned in our last prayer letter, this marks the 1st time EVER that one of John’s siblings has come to visit us while overseas (23 years!) What fun we had with them! Here we are in the village garage, making a paella. This one was called a paella mixta because it had both chicken & seafood. You can get a bigger view of the photos by running  your cursor over the photo and clicking. Paella is the #1 recipe I use for that wonderful herb: saffron, which is the most expensive spice in the world. Needless to say, it is much cheaper to buy here in paellalandia. I have an entire recipe book for just paellas, and they are yummy!

    That has got to be one of the best looking, tastiest looking dishes I have ever seen.

    Anita… I will see if Dad is willing to haul up the stuff to France.

    John… I don’t want to brag, but man it was good! I hope one day you will come here and have one with us!
