Dear Marg,
Last Friday we went to Bob and Erin's for dinner. As often happens at their house, the guest list grew quickly. First, her parents stopped by so her Dad could fix the outdoor chairs he made years ago, and then (as often happens when dinner time gets near) their children started dropping by. We had dinner with 3 generations of Erin's family and it was great.
Erin has been perfecting Paella on an outdoor fire for almost a year now, and I think she's got it wired. She started by browning chicken legs in olive oil, and then added sausage and chopped onions. Sorry no pictures of that part. Then come the handfuls of rice. I forgot to ask if it's a special rice or not.

| Simmer, simmer, simmer.... |

| Clams, cherry tomatoes, and squid (or was it octopus?) |

It was delicious!! Smoky and savory and full of robust flavor. You would have loved it. (you could eat around the clams).
Love, Elise

I was with you right up to the clams and squid. Is the open fire part important?
