I'll have to try that bakery, I love Armenian dishes.... yummmm </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19188#post-417670 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:45:15 +0000 Dee 417670@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>haha! Yes...just like Cher...she is half-armenian, too. Yeah, my father was born and raised in Armenia. Southern California has a huge armenian population, eh? And System of a Down are all armenian, too...they are from Glendale. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19188#post-417669 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:42:05 +0000 2bpurring 417669@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I did not know you were part armenian..one of Rons close friends is...it was funny because the friendship built very slowly over a long period of time..he even told ron that it was very rare for him to trust and be close friends with anyone not armenian..he told them that since the numbers of people are so small now that they stick together...It took a long time to get to know him well, but we ended up with one great and very unique friend. Not to mention armenians have great cheek bones!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19188#post-417664 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:33:10 +0000 Dee 417664@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>AV...the mean waiters you mentioned reminded me of Antranik's Armenian bakery on Fowler and 56th. Have you ever been there? My dad was armenian, so I would stop in there now and then when I would feel nostalgic...mostly for armenian pastries...which are delicious. But the entire staff was so mean! They really were like the soup nazi...it was funny as hell! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19188#post-417659 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:25:17 +0000 AV 417659@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>you and me both!....

But I heard it was really good, too. It makes me sad when all these landmarks close. Heck, I am still sad over Tampa Stadium...haha! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19188#post-417653 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:20:12 +0000 AV 417653@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>....hmmm, I've never been to Don Jose's..... interesting it is an offshoot from Tio Pepe's..... which makes me think of another iconic favorite that closed - Remember Cafe Pepe's on Kennedy, across from the Valencia, and down a little bit west...... my Mom and Dad ate there for YEARS!....... another sad loss!</p> <p>... my folks were such favorites, they knew all the waiters by name, and the waiters would always save them "their" table....... they used to make me laugh, the waiters were all 80 year old men, that had worked their forever!....and they were mean!.... I was always afraid to ask from something extra, because they were so grumpy.... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19188#post-417651 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:17:43 +0000 Dee 417651@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>WWM, pig ear is popular in Spain...and I hear (pun intended) that it has crunchy cartilage, too.

Dee you know who had the best "paella" here in town don't you????</p> <p>.... why Valencia Gardens, of course!........</p> <p>.... sadly it's closed now!..... Began in Tampa in 1927, and was one of our best "local" secrets for years!...... the Univ. of Tampa bought the property, and will be expanding it's campus...... it always makes me sad to see some of our local favorites go away..... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19188#post-417643 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:06:54 +0000 WillowandWindismom 417643@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I saw an episode on DDD where a woman was making pig ear sandwiches. Even Guy had trouble taking that first big bite! I am definitely passing on that. And I don't want any piggy snout, either. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19188#post-417640 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:04:08 +0000 Dee 417640@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I don't eat pork anymore, but I used to love chorizo. Spaniards love their piggy. And they eat every single part of it, too. Which, I think is the best way to go, but still "icky." haha!</p> <p>My Recipes has lots of goodies! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19188#post-417634 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 12:00:55 +0000 WillowandWindismom 417634@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>It really did make me think of you, Dee! I think you probably get the site that this came from - it's from My Recipes.</p> <p>I really like paella but mine has to be chorizo-less! It does sound wonderful, though. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19188#post-417633 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 11:58:44 +0000 Dee 417633@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>OMG...doesn't that sound fantastic? </p> <p>Actually, can you believe I have never made paella? My mom did not make it very often, either. She is from Zamora, which is in northwestern Spain, and I guess paella is not that popular there. But, I love it and I have to make it soon! Thanks for the recipe, WWM! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19188#post-417631 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 11:54:23 +0000 2bpurring 417631@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Dee, if you decide to whip this up, I'm grabbing a plane for Tampa! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/19188#post-417629 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 11:53:13 +0000 WillowandWindismom 417629@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Paella Valencia</p> <p>Valencia is a Spanish coastal city where this dish is particularly revered.<br /> Yield</p> <p>6 servings (serving size: 1 2/3 cups)<br /> Ingredients</p> <p> * 1 tablespoon olive oil<br /> * 3/4 pound peeled and deveined large shrimp<br /> * 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided<br /> * 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided<br /> * 1/2 cup thinly sliced Spanish chorizo sausage (about 2 ounces)<br /> * 2 (2-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken thighs, quartered<br /> * 1 cup chopped onion<br /> * 3 garlic cloves, minced<br /> * 1/2 cup chopped tomato<br /> * 1 tablespoon capers, drained<br /> * 1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, crushed<br /> * 1 cup Arborio rice or other short-grain rice<br /> * 2/3 cup white wine<br /> * 1 (14-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth<br /> * 1/2 cup frozen green peas<br /> * 1/4 cup water<br /> * 18 mussels (about 3/4 pound), scrubbed and debearded<br /> * 2 1/2 tablespoons chopped bottled roasted red bell pepper<br /> * 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro</p> <p>Preparation</p> <p>Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
