Haha Badgers, mybad just being silly for amusements sake

I'll share a Jon Denver song with you, I copied the lyrics put them in Gizoogle and then changed a few words , enjoy

Garden Song

Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make dis garden grow.
All it takes be a rake n' a hoe n' a piece of fertile ground.
Inch by inch, row by row, Someone bless tha ganja seedz I sow.
Someone warm dem from below, 'til tha drizzle comes tumblin down.

Growin weed n' getting stoned, playa is made of trips n' bones.
Feel tha need ta grow mah own 'cause tha vape is close at hand.
Herb fo' herb, sun n' rain, find mah way up in naturez chain,
to mah body n' mah dome ta tha noize from tha land.

Plant yo' rows straight n' long, thicker than wit prayer n' song.
Mutha Earth will make your buds phat if you give them ludd n' care.
Oldskool crow watchin hungrily, from his thugged-out lil' perch up in yonder tree.
In mah garden I be as free as dat feathered thief up there.

Welcome to the world Noob Bunnies.

Paella is an awesome dish, though i love steak too.
A proper Paella should have a golden crust on the bottom of the rice which is called "socarrat" I found this out fro Rick Stein's Spain.

Traditional Paella originated from Valecia and was cooked over orange wood embers, this is the de facto way of making it in the "Concurs Internacional de Paella Valencia" The international Paella Competion held in "Sueca" which is the epicenter of Provinces´rice growing area.

Here is a little more back ground information for anyone who is interested in Paellas history

History and Origins of Paella
Paella is one of the most popular and famous of global dishes, to define exactly what paella contains is almost impossible. There are as many variations of paella as there are cooks, with many claiming that their recipe is the best tasting or most authentic. The origins of the dish, however, are quite humble. Understanding a little of its history will help explain why so many varieties exist.

Valencia in Eastern Spain is the undisputed home of paella. It is one of the largest natural ports in the Mediterranean and has been of the most important rice-producing areas in Spain since rice was introduced by the Moors over 1200 years ago. In fact, the Spanish word for rice is ‘arroz’, which is derived from Arabic, not Latin like most of Castilian Spanish.

Humble Beginnings
Paella was originally farmers' and farm labourers' food, cooked by the workers over a wood fire for the lunchtime meal. It was made with rice, plus whatever was to hand around the rice fields and countryside: tomatoes, onions and snails, with a few beans added for flavour and texture. Rabbit or duck might also have been added, and for special occasions, chicken plus a touch of saffron for an extra special colour and flavour. Paella was also traditionally eaten straight from the pan in which it was cooked with each person using his own wooden spoon.

Little by little, as 'Valencian rice' became more widely available, paella recipes were adapted with new variations appearing. With Valencia being on the coast, it is no surprise that various types of seafood crept into the recipes over the generations. Now paella is the generic name of 200 or so distinctive rice dishes or ‘arroces’ from the Valencia region let alone other parts of Spain and the rest of the world. To this day a "true" Paella Valenciana has no seafood but a mixture of Chicken, rabbit and snails with green and white beans.



‘Paella’ – where did the name come from ?
It’s a little confusing but ’paella’ or to be more exact ‘la paella’ is the name for cooking pan itself and not the dish. The word comes from old Valencian (in Valencia they have their own language somewhat similar to Catalan) and probably has its roots in the Latin 'patella' meaning pan.

There are however, some other wonderful (if less likely) theories about the origins of the name. The most romantic of them suggests that the dish was first prepared by a lover for his fiancée and that the word is a corruption of ‘para ella’ (meaning ‘for her’ in Spanish). Like all myths there is a small grain of truth in this and although many women still traditionally do the cooking in Spain, making paella is usually left to the men - very much like BBQ’s in the UK!!!

It has also been suggested that the word ‘paella’, is derived from the Arabic word "Baqiyah", which means ‘leftovers’ - once again emphasizing both the dish's humble and arabic beginnings.



Paella – the most sociable of all culinary occasions
In Spain paella is still unique. Not only do families congregate on mass to eat paella in restaurants, but it is often cooked at weekends at holiday homes in ‘bodegas’ or ‘txokos’ (large dining areas where families gather) or at beach or mountain picnic sites. There are many paella competitions all over Spain and very often a giant paella is the centrepiece for many fiestas.

It’s easy to see why - paella can create a party, a ceremony and a debate (often over the making of the paella itself!!) - making it one of the most sociable and enjoyable of all culinary occasions.

And finally, if you don’t already know – and you want to impress your friends, "paella" is pronounced "pa-e-ya" with the "e" as in "bet".
