This was my next iteration of paella, incorporating the changes from last time. I didn't have any onion on hand, so I just used some onion powder, and it turned out just fine. I also used a full pound of shrimp, though I'd be perfectly happy to have ...

Since my birthday falls on a Tuesday this year, and Shaun's second day of law school to boot, we just celebrated today. It started out with a nice relaxing morning at home, playing with Emma, and getting my wonderful present from Shaun, a little Toshiba netbook. This post ...
