Authentic Spanish PAELLA (Vol. 2)

greentea's picture

The volume 1 "AUTHENTIC SPANISH PAELLA IN DOHA" authored by Bennis, as you can see has reached 3 pages and the original author had long vanished somewhere, I assume coz he never posted in the thread again. Since some QL members are still interested in the PAELLA FEVER and we're hoping that we'll get the interest of others too and finally somebody to invite and cook for us paella fans, let's start a new volume here. But for your reference, here is the link to vol. 1: http://www.qatarlivi...

I´ve put a post up to say goodbye (hello from spain) and to the thank you guys for the good fun here on QL.
Enjoy the paella and remember me when you´re eating it.
Greentea...the N3310 is working fine haha but I had to give the sim back to the company and I did´nt have internet connection in my apartment´hence the goodbye being posted today.
