The teachers and I had a fabulous treat for lunch yesterday. One of our students from Spain is starting a business with his friend, making paella. We teachers were more than happy to be used as test subjects. They brought in an enormous pan of paella, complete with mussels, little clams, calamari, baby shrimp and chicken; two different kinds of a tortilla espanola (like an omelet with potatoes), and croquetas (like creamy hush puppies). The dishes were delicious, and it was so fun to share in the enthusiasm of Jose and Adrian over their new business adventure. They want to bring the meals to customers, complete with Sangria (yum!) and a dessert, and either make the food at someone's house, or deliver the already cooked goods.
Being an entrepreneur myself, it was so much fun taking part in someone elses' adventure. And I'm already plotting the next paella meeting among my own friends and family, particularly my mom who needs to give Spanish food a second chance after her bad experiences in Spain however many decades ago.
