Paella
Mi Amigo from Indianapolis has requested something Spanish from me! I am happy to oblige him. I went tonight to watch my 1st born soccer star play against what looked like soccer's version of the bad news bears...running around with no practicing or anything. And then, the whistle blew. about an hour later, well, they lost 8-1 and the bad news bears, well, Not so bad!
Cheers!
