But it is a laborious and pricey dish and yet there is no special occasion today!

I may go buy the chicken, pepper and wine and parsley.

About 40$ worth of ingredients. We have the seafood and mussels.And lemon, safran, broth and rice. 

Later that afternoon, at 3pm...

The paellais cooking. I used basmati rice this time. In case it is less mushy than jasmine rice used on New Year eve. It should be very delicious. There is a heck of  a lot of chicken and shrimps. Some mussels. And calamari. Two cups of rice. 5 cups of broth. Green pepper, 4 cloves of garlic, wine, onion and tomatoes and parsley. Saffron, pepper, salt and paprika. I am so hungry!
