Release 588: I would like to make paella now, which is just Spanish clams with rice.

Eri makes her triumphant return in chapter 36, but she misunderstands why Sachi and Ayari want to meet up! This is Food Girls though, so the conflict is small and the cuteness is large. The seafood in this chapter looks especially tasty, and mildly traumatic (comeback Sachi’s clam friends!!). It also really made me want to eat paella, which is my favorite rice dish to use clams in, plus we can only really get little neck clams around here. So, a nice infusion of saffron and paprika go a long way to fancying up a pretty mediocre shellfish.

Peak home clam paella also incorporates shell on shrimp, chorizo, garlic, leek, and tomatoes. Try a nice medium-dry white wine along the lines of a pinot gris and you’re in for a wonderful treat for dinner.

Here are the results from the survey we posted on our birthday. Thank you all for responding!
