Do you know if "vegetarian" means "vegan" in this case? > From: Bhavani <http://www.gmail.com/~bhavaniowl> > Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2017 06:33:38 -0600 > > Incase youse are interested?? > > > From: Sacred Grounds <http://www.sgcath.com/~wponder> > > Date: October 14, 2017 at 10:48:27 AM MDT > > > > Dear Bhavani: > > > > We're having a paella party/concert and you're invited. Cooking Spanish > > Paella is an art form as well as a culinary delight when performed by a > > master and we have that covered. It can also be an entertaining social event > > in and of itself. If you have eaten paella but have not not had the pleasure > > of seeing it constructed, you have not truly experienced the finer aspects of > > paella and paella presentation. For this party on the patio, preparation is > > half the fun as the construction will be in full view of the party-goers. Our > > good friend Glenn Glover from Austin will be doing the cooking honors and he > > is no novice. When Rebecca and I hosted the Paella festivals in Austin, Glenn > > competed in and later cooked for the festival that grew into an all-day event > > with more than twenty contestants and over 600 attendees on our farm. For > > this party, attendees will be limited to fifty. > > > > So, what is paella? Paella is an internationally-known rice-based dish from > > Spain. It originated in the fields of Valencia on the eastern coast of Spain. > > Today paella is made in every region of Spain, using just about any kind of > > ingredient that goes well with rice. There are as many versions of paella as > > there are cooks. It may contain chicken, pork, shellfish, fish, eel, squid, > > beans, peas, artichokes and peppers, to name a few popular ingredients. > > Saffron, the spice that also turns the rice a wonderful golden color is an > > essential part of the dish. > > To prepare paella, there are three basic rules to follow. > > > > Cook over a fire. It's usually prepared over an open fire for competitions > > and festivals as it was at the Ponderassa in years past. Our Sacred Grounds > > version will be cooked over a gas-fired paella burner in our open-air patio. > > Use a paella pan. For our event, we'll use a 36-inch paella pan and a couple > > of smaller pans for those with special diets: vegetarian and no shell fish. > > Use Bomba rice, an almost round grain rice also from the Eastern coast of > > Spain. > > In our paella party, there will also be appropriate side dishes to round out > > the menu. > > > > And, finally, no paella party dinner would be complete without music. We have > > that covered beautifully with the best Spanish Guitar concert you're likely > > to hear this side of anywhere. Gerardo Perez Capdevila has prepared a program > > especially for this event which is listed in the attached flyer/poster. He'll > > play an acoustic guitar program of beautiful and fiery Spanish/classical > > music in the style of Andres Segovia. > > > > Don't delay getting your tickets in advance. Our patio and dining room on > > Sunday, October 22 will be open to only ticket holders from 3:00 PM, when > > preparation starts, until closing. Cooking will start around 4:30 PM and the > > party will last until it's over.
