I drugged Boog and made him go with me to a paella cooking class today at Cafe Ba Ba Reeba. He even wore a Charlie shirt for the occasion. Albeit, it was a little wrinkled. There were people there. He had a “good time.” Those of you who know Boog in real life are ROTFLOL at the sheer irony in the last two statements. It must have been the hot chocolate, churros, mixed greens salad, bacon wrapped dates, spinach stuffed mushrooms in a lemon butter cream sauce, sangria, paella, and triple milk chocolate cake that made him happy to be around “people.” He even needed little encouragement when it came time to volunteer to be a guest chef. Boog’s first attempt at paella proved to be a delicious and memorable one.
He might be the King of Paella, but I’ll always be the Queen of Jambalaya. Seafood, saffron, and rice ~ That’s What I’m Talking About!
P.S. Check out his new ink in the picture. I call it Enter the Dragon. Maybe he should take up tauromachy next. I would love a trip to Spain for a traditional paella.
Go BOOG! That looks delicious!
But I wonder what type of bodily harm you inferred you would inject on him if he didn’t go with you (and can I get the manual on that? LOL)
Yummy! What a great day that must have been for you!
Thinks the “retouched” photo is a scam.
Rupe thinks it’s far from retouched … matter’n fact: No retouching whatsoever! So there … !!!
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Paella …..
It looks delicious … but I’d rather have your jambalaya ANY day!!
ROFL @ the retouched photo. Too cute. Better than the original, methinks
Yes, you must go to Spain for an authentic paella.
I ate my first ever paella in a restaurant in Madrid (was taken to the restaurant by Spain based Spanish work colleagues for lunch).
Once you’ve tasted an authentic paella, you will insist on only eating paella in a Spanish restaurant or only home made paella.
My second authentic paella was at a small restaurant in Muswell Hill, near Alexandra Palace in London:-)
Fab…
Wait, I don’t see anything wrinkled on that shirt (woot)
Glad a good time was had by all, and the paella rocked!
LMAO Chef Boog-R-Dee! I love the retouched photo, though I’d like to see the real one too! I mean Boog has met me afterall;)
What an awesometacious day! The menu listed made me start salivating.
Please, PLEASE, may I have the recipes for spinach stuffed mushrooms in a lemon butter cream sauce and triple milk chocolate cake, PLEASE?!
As long as I got to eat what I cooked, mt girlfriend wouldn’t have much trouble getting me to a class like that either. Sounds delicious!
Boog+people=good time? Hmmm….I wonder if the earth has stopped rotating on its fancy little axis….ROFL! I am glad you had fun. Even behind his glasses, I can tell he has a smile on his face!
XOXOXO
