Every Saturday morning, there is a gentleman who flies in seafood from Roxas at the Salcedo Park.

I have made both of MM’s regular paella and paella negra and I have been very successful! Thanks MM! Love the negra with aioli – I didn’t know what to expect the combination of flavors really works out well.

Jen, small to medium sized paelleras at Gourdo’s or Terry’s is roughly USD15-25 only. It will fit in a large suitcase. :) I also have the big paellera in the photo, perfect for the normal sized Weber grill…

I simply envy that you have a paellera!

MM,

Can’t wait to dust off the old Weber Grill from the storage area and try to cook Paella instead of using the stove top.

Thanks,

Jr.

edee, for food, Les Papilles is worth a try. The food halls at Au Bon Marche or large Galleries Lafayette are to die for. Any of the several patisseries I wrote about for macarons, etc. For hotels, Hotel de L’abbaye.

thanks MM, actually we’ve booked already and we’re keeping our fingers crossed, it’s so hard to find a B&B or even hotels with triple rooms, we’re travelling with our 8yr old who’s a bit excited now :) I’ve also taken notes from your paris posts as your barcelona posts were so helpful, if you have any suggestions on places to eat or see and shop, please do tell as i’ll check on your site once we get there, still finishing our packing and by early afternoon , bon jour paris! :)

p.s. list of places to stay is still very much welcome, as i reckon we’ll always be back ……merci beaucoup….

Fabulous!!! I’ve always wanted to make paella myself but I simply cannot find the courage :-( I’m such a chicken.

Speaking of rabbits, we have lots of them loitering our campus. The university spends a lot of time and resources trying to get rid of them and it’s amazing how much press they get with all of the animal rights activists going ballistic every time the grounds keepers do a cull. Last time I heard, they will be shipped to Texas, maybe they should just be sent to Valencia to be added to paella instead.

edee, sorry, I didn’t get to your query sooner. Hotels in Paris are dicey, we sometimes stay at larger ones in the older part of town, but the smaller bed and breakfasts or smaller hotels are quite nice too. Will leave another message as soon as Mrs. MM is back as she has the names of some places we tried to get into but failed…
