Yesterday, Bob and I left Baker City, Oregon, to drive 6 hours to Kent, Washington, to spend the evening with my cousin Kris and his wife Jen. We had visited them last year, and they said the next time we visited Jen would show Bob how to make paella, as she had learned when Kris and the family were stationed in Spain. So, we were looking forward to seeing them again as well as having paella.
