My Spanish Pot Luck Birthday Party!

Was a ton of fun!  I made mixed paella (with mussels, scallops, calamari, shrimp, chorizo, and chicken), spanish tortilla, patatas bravas, clerico, and pan con tomate.  I will include the recipes for some of these things after the jump.  Femi made aioli, manchego frito with apple glaze and guava paste, and gambas.  There was a ton of cheese and wine.  We also had some olives, tortas, crema stuffed plantains, spanish stew and more!  My roommate made rice pudding and gorgeous paper flower decorations.  Pics and videos below.

Adam had to change shirts because of an accidental red wine spillage.












He looks thrilled especially near the orange flowers.











People piggin out on Spanish wonders.








Jen's diggin' her grandmas chorizo bread.







Ryan loves bread and Reid loves beer.












My Clerico with white wine, strawberries, grapes, apples, lemons, oranges, sugar, peaches, and more!  Yum!








We got some fried potatoes, bravas sauce, aioli, pan con tomate, chorizo, tortilla, and queso.  Yum again!








How beautiful were those decorations?  Jen made them by hand!








Food baby/coma time.

Videos!!


I used this paella recipe just added more stuff in it.

I made this same recipe but added hot sauce and a little ketchup into the bravas sauce.  Femi made the aioli with olive oil, eggs, lemon, and garlic.  I don't know how to make aioli like he does.
