Paella Baby

I donated my Paella pan and Tapas pans to Matt tonight.
Giving up my Paella pan was one of the hardest things I've done. Right up there with giving up the Shun knives.

So, in honor of the Paella pan, it's Paella.

Bachelor Party BBQ

Well, Chris and I cooked for a little party. We ended up smoking 5 racks of ribs, about 30+ lbs of meat. About twelve guys showed up. What followed can only be described as lots of great eating, great drinking, and laying around in the yard.
