On Sunday, my mom (one of the member of my gene pool likeliest to be classified as Not Deranged and/or Functional) returned from Spain where she was doing some philatelic thing and visiting her relatives.
She brought back two KILOS of El Rey chocolate (84%!!) and a 5 gram (!) jar of saffron and somehow -- 'cause the FDA whines and moans about this -- a vacuum pack of Jabugo ham (made from the acorn-fed Iberic Blackfoot pig...think prosciutto to the Nth power)
I am so amazingly happy with this yumminess. Especially with the saffron, since it makes a lovely pasta (the Spanish have their own version--not quite as popular as in Italy--called tallarines) which ought go KILLER with some fresh mussels in broth.
