Since yesterday I have been craving a good paella (it’s not my fault, someone else started talking about this at work and my imagination went crazy). And then, just like magic, I stumbled upon this perfect looking recipe from Half Baked Harvest and I couldn’t get it out of my head for good. I think this afternoon I will visit my fish monger and if I will find all the ingredients, this evening will be a Spanish themed one: rivers of sangria, this perfect looking paella, crema catalana and candlelight <3
