Our First Paella
No recipe today. Just an exuberant rejoicing that finally, finally, we have managed paella! So please pardon me while I say...yay!!!
We have been wanting to make paella for a long time now. Well, C wanted to. Too many people in my family make paella, and make it well, that I never felt I had to...or perhaps I was always too scared to try for that very same reason. But C loves paella and every time we have some, or pass a paellera in a store, or one of my uncles talks about cooking one; his enthusiasm to make our own grew. It was a foregone conclusion that C would be the skipper in our paella adventure...I always believed that cooking was about passion and C has more passion for paella than I do, truth be told. So for this dish, I was to ride sous.
The road to paella wasn't a short one. We started preparations through the most obvious route – harvesting the knowledge and collective years of paella-making experience from my mom and uncles. We badgered them with questions, and C stood by and watched while they did their magic. We once rushed from out of town to be extra early for a family lunch, so C could stand in a smoky kitchen taking mental notes while my godfather (whose paella in my humble opinion is one of the tastiest I've ever tried) made his paella.
Now, it must be said at this point, that none of my family have a recipe for paella – it's all by feel. They have their techniques (the secret's in the stock), their ratios (liquid to rice), their timing (when al dente, stop heat, cover paella, take a shower, it'll be done when you are), which we somehow patched together to make our own roadmap. Armed with a small/medium paellera we found, that perfectly fits out biggest stove-top burner, we were finally ready.
Like I said, no recipe yet. As this was our first try, nothing is set in stone. And perhaps, as we learned by feel, a rough sketch (continually being tweaked by necessity or mood) is all we will ever have. This is how it went (more or less)...
We used seafood (which is the flavour we like) and chorizo (to add punch). I bought prawns, squid, fish, and clams. Cooked the clams in garlic, parsley, and wine – saved the liquid from this for the stock. Made a fish stock from some bones I had in the freezer. In the paellera we heated olive oil, cooked chorizo until the nice orange oil was rendered, set chorizo aside. Added chopped garlic, onions, parsley (including stems!) to the pan and sauté until onion is soft. Cooked seafood one by one (squid, prawns, fish) and removed from pan. Added pimenton and some paella spice mix to the onions and fried a bit. Deglazed pan with wine. Added rice and sautéed. Added stock, smoothed surface and let cook...mind that it doesn't dry out! When it would look too dry but the rice was still raw we added a bit more stock. If it looked to be drying up too fast we would lay some foil across the top. When it was almost done we placed the seafood and chorizo back in the pan and added some roasted red pepper on top...then cooked until it was finally done!
Whew! We couldn't believe our eyes...it looked and smelled just like paella! And as we sat down to our (late) lunch and had our first mouthful we sighed happily...it tasted like paella too! In fact it was not half bad for a first attempt if you would be so kind as to let me say so :) It did not lack for seafood flavour and the rice was cooked through well (something which I was worried about). My mom stopped by to have lunch with us so we have a witness!
Some little mishaps: If you hadn't already noticed I used too much rice! The pan was almost in danger of overflowing...lesson learned for next time. Also, my clams were sandy so we couldn't use all of it and I had to strain the stock a million times through paper towels (sorry Earth!) :(
This was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon – creating something delicious with someone you care about. Enjoying your success with a wonderful meal and lots of high-fives and "go team!". There are many milestones in a partnership. Different couples will mark different events as important on their conjugal calendar. This paella is definitely one of those for us!

What a gorgeous show of paella! I'm drooling over those prawns. . .
- canDIshhh said...
Looks great! Coolness!!
I bet there are a lot of tutong! Yummy!! :) - 12:07 PM
- zlamushka said...
Your first paella? No way, you ve been practising for years. I remember my first paella, it was actually pretty tasty, yet the picture was nowhere close to pretty (yours is gorgeous :--)
- Rosa's Yummy Yums said...
That Paella looks gorgeous! I love the color contrast... Surely delicious!
Rosa - 1:09 PM
- Peabody said...
It's very pretty...I am loving the shrimp.
- Manggy said...
Congratulations! It looks beautiful. Naunahan mo na naman ako :P I bought that same pan at Terry's! I haven't even cleaned it yet! Somehow I'm afraid not to use "paella rice" (subbing arborio) but I can't bring myself to spend P200 for it either. Your triumph has given me some courage-- unfortunately we don't have any passed-down kitchen wisdom paella-wise! I'll rely on yours ;)
- Dhanggit said...
wow!! i feel like dancing samba with this paella!! heheh looks really yummy!!!
Bravo, bravo, Joey and C! I am duly impressed and in awe!
I so enjoyed reading this post, Joey. It's as if I were really there, waiting with bated breath to see how the paella turned out. And I loved how you ended it, too -- as another example of what a beautiful relationship you guys have. :-) - 6:21 PM
- Patricia Scarpin said...
Sweetie, there's no such thing as too much rice - one can never have too much rice! :)
Joey, this looks spectacular! - 8:42 PM
- Meeta said...
I agree with Patricia - rice rocks. Well done on the paella and I went down that road a while back too. But like you I have found the perfect paella recipe for my family through the years. Yours looks great!
- Suzana said...
Looks perfect to me! I haven't had paella in a long time - you got me craving for one now! Lovely pictures as usual. :)
- oggi said...
I love your paellera and the paella looks delicious!
BTW, I use round coffee filters to strain most liquids and to drain yogurt for labneh. - 9:54 PM
- Marvin said...
It looks fantastic for your first paella! You and C are a great team in the kitchen. What is your pan made of? Is it heavy metal?
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Glamah16! Thanks! :)
Hi JS! Thank you! I bought the prawns at our neighbourhood weekend market...there is a seafood stall with all sorts of gorgeous specimens :)
Hi Candishhh! There was! I love the tutong in paella ;)
Hi Zlamushka! Yes! I bought the big prawns specifically for "insurance" to make it look swanky just in case, heehee :)
Hi Rosa! Thank you :)
Thanks Peabody! I am always so tempted with the prawns and shrimps at the market...this time I indulged myself :)
Hi Manggy! Oh my gosh...hahaha! Before making this the pan was still in the Terry's bag! Let me tell you, I just used the rice that we regularly use for everyday...my mom never really bought special rice for paella so I didn't either ;) I'm sure you will make a fantastic paella...easier than risotto...no stirring!
Hi Dhanggit! Dancing always helps my cooking so go ahead! :)
Hi Katrina! Aw! Thanks :) It was really fun...exciting and at the same time suspenseful! We were nervous how it would turn out! And it was so nice to see C so nasasarapan from something he made himself :)
Hi Patricia! I had to laugh out loud when I saw your comment because our eating cultures must have something in common...I can so imagine someone from here saying that in all seriousness!
Hi Meeta! Rice most definitely rocks! I grew up with it as a staple and I'm a big fan :) We still have a ways to go with our paella...more experimenting, different combinations...I'm looking forward to it!
Hi Suzana! Thank you :) We hadn't either when we made this so the time was right!
Hi Oggi! Thanks for the tip! I actually have a box of coffee filters lying around doing nothing because my coffee maker has its own filter...must remember that...for the labneh too...
Thanks Marvin! You have no idea how I am itching to make a heavy metal vs hip hop joke...but I will desist :) The pan is a standard issue paellera that I got from a local Spanish deli...not that heavy but pretty sturdy. My mom has even used a wok/kawali before (although this makes it harder to cook evenly)! I've heard they sometimes use a clay dish to make it too... - 11:37 PM
- The Knittymommy said...
Congratulations! I love that it was a husband and wife effort to create the dish. This makes it more special and I believe, even more delicious. Great milestone to have.
- JMom said...
congratulations on your first paella! it looks delicious and I bet it tasted great too :)
I bought a paella pan, that's as far as I've gotten to making true blue paella. - 4:58 AM

Oh good heavens, that paella looks ridiculous. The shrimp is bringing a tear to me eye right now. Nice work!
- Barbara said...
Fantastic Joey. I love paella but haven't made it since moving to Australia as my stove here is an electric top. But I've decided to use my gas camping stove to make it.
- ChichaJo said...
Hi KM! Thanks! I believe that makes it more delicious too :)
Hi Jmom! Trust me, the paella pan was sitting pretty in the kitchen for a while before we deemed ourselves prepared enough to use it!
Hi Haley! Will check it out :) Although, we are not much of a berry-producing country over here so stocks are minimal or overpriced...yoiks! But will definitely check out those winners :)
Hi Erin! I know what you mean...but I know I've got to have notes to act as a framework if I want to repeat the dish...so I buy myself pretty notebooks and pens to encourage me :)
Hi Kevin! Go for it! :)
Thanks Ximena! We were! It was hilarious :)
Hi Guel! We just used the rice we use for everyday, haha...it's labelled as "organic rice from Thailand" and we get it from Market! Market! I love it because it smells incredible when you're cooking it, it's got a nice grain, and it's not too dry/not too wet :)
Hi Helen! It's a great combination isn't it? :)
Hi Sohpie...I've seen Key Ingredient already and am in the process of uploading a recipe :)
Hi Whit.ing! Haha! Thank you :)
Hi Barbara! Thanks :) Good luck with the gas camping stove! Wish I could make this outdoors! - 12:13 PM
- mtan said...
What a beauty, wouldn't have noticed the overflowing rice if you hadn't mentioned it. But as Candishhh said earlier, the tutong must have been super yummy. Remember that paella at Claudes? Sigh.
congrats on the success of your first paella! your tip on the rice is a big help :)
what is in your paella spice mix and is there any particular brand that you like to use?
many thanks in advance joey! - 4:47 PM
- Jen Tan said...
wow!!! you're paella looks great! I bet you and C had an absolutely great time making it as well as eating afterwards =) it's really great to cook with a loved one...let's eat to that!
- Veron said...
Congrats Joey, it looks fantastic. I can just imagine how it tastes with all the fresh seafood not to mention the wonderful chorizo you get over there.
- ChichaJo said...
Hi M! Yes I remember it...mmm! :) Wasn't that the Pampangueno verison of paella? The tutong on this gal was delicious :)
Hi Sandy! Thanks! Tha Paella spice mix is Carmencita El Unico Paellero (this was from Spain but I think I've seen it here in Terrys)...I can't say though if this is the brand I'd use always as it's the first time we tried it :) Although it did us good on this paella :)
Hi Jen! Yes, we did have as great a time making it as we did eating it :) I'll eat to that too!
Hi Veron! Thanks! The fresh seafood does make a difference...as well as the chorizo ;) - 11:08 PM
Paella always goog whit a spanish wine.
- Aran said...
Being from Spain I am very particular about paella and look at yours! Looks perfection... and the prawns? Goddness, I want some!

Hi Aran! Ooh! I am thrilled by your lovely comment! My husband will be thrilled as well :)
Hi Helene! Nice to know you love this dish :) These were jumbo prawns I bought at my neighbourhood weekend market...quite the lookers I thought as well ;) - 11:00 PM
- Rasa Malaysia said...
Ooh, I have missed too many good food on your site while I was traveling. You nailed that Paella! I had the best ones in Madrid not too long ago when I was there-two of them--one is this orange color ones and the other squid ink! Yum.
- Salt & Turmeric said...
Hi, came here fr Rasa Malaysia. i love paella too! i 'made' it last mth. 'made' because i cheated with a store bought box. yours look good. the right color with lotsa seafood. i want some too!

Hi Bee! Thanks! Yes, the paellas in Madrid are really amazing! We may not be ready to attempt the squid ink one for a while yet...still have to practice! :)
Hi Farina! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment :) We also used a sachet spice mix but added our own stuff as well to put a personal stamp...semi-cheats ;) - 10:57 PM

Fancy a wall-to-wall library or do you like to mix your TV or family photos with your books? Either way, our multi-tasking bookcases make great homes for everything you like having around you. We've more styles and sizes than an airport bookshop has best sellers, so you're sure to find what you need.
Bookcases for books and more
Our big range of classic and modern bookcases come in lots of sizes, colours and styles. These value for money bookcases will not only help you find your favourite reading matter, but they'll also give your ornaments and family photos a great home too. If you're looking for classic bookcases, check out our large and varied BILLY series. The shelves are adjustable to suit different sizes of books, and you can even get glass doors to keep out the dust. If you like a coordinated look, many of our bookcases come in a series with other furniture, so you can get matching tables and cabinets for example. Check out series like LIATORP or HEMNES.

Nowadays, bookcases are more than just somewhere to store books and magazines.

And with our KALLAX series, you can get drawer inserts and doors to create your own bookcase/cupboard storage combination. KALLAX bookcases don't have back panels, so they make great room dividers too. If you really want to show off your books or your prized collections of knick-knacks, cabinet lighting on top of a bookcase spotlights your favourites, and gives you atmospheric background lighting too.

Timber and board buying guide
Broadly speaking, timber comes in three different types: construction timber, finishing timber and decorative timber. It's generally more expensive than man-made boards, which come in lots of varieties with a whole range of uses.
Always try to choose timber that's been certified by an independent organisation like the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) as this means the wood has been sourced sustainably. If there is any wood or paper in a B&Q product,we make sure it meets legal, social and environmental standards. Find out more about our Forest Friendly Promise.
More Information
Forest Friendly
All our wood is 100% Forest Friendly. This means using it in our products (from doors to wallpaper) does not damage ancient forests, harm wildlife or jeopardize communities who depend on forests now and in the future.

This sounds like an excellent idea! And it is a completely new use of the character that no one has done to my knowledge.
And you can't go wrong using McKellen.
Sir Ian Mckellen will add yet another icon to cast of characters he has portrayed. Screendaily has reported that Icon, See-Saw, FilmNation, Anne Carey, BBC Films will produce a feature about Sherlock Holmes coming out of retirement. Check out the plot below:
The Plot: Set in 1947, the film follows a long-retired Sherlock Holmes, who lives in a sleepy Sussex village with his housekeeper and her amateur-sleuthing son. But rather than enjoying a peaceful retirement, the famous Baker Street detective is haunted by an unsolved case from 50 years ago. He remembers only fragments: a confrontation with an angry husband, a secret bond with his beautiful but unstable wife.
Slight Trick of the Mind begins filming April 2014.
This sounds like an excellent idea! And it is a completely new use of the character that no one has done to my knowledge.
And you can't go wrong using McKellen.
I am most of the way through the first season of Elementary and this is wonderful news.
There was a story where Holmes was brought into the modern era. Female Watson and all took place in the eighties. I'll take Magneto/ Gandalf anyday over that.
I love the BBC/Cumberbatch version of Holmes, but this sounds awesome, too!
Hmmmm sounds great, just a little worried about the setting 1947 would make him nearly ninety years old, maybe 1937 would have been better?
This sounds enticing. Good casting. It would be neat to tie it into the Jack the Ripper lore in terms of "an unsolved case", but I guess this has been done before, albeit by crappy movies like that Christopher Plummer monstrosity from the late 1970s...
A movie about a 90 year old Sherlock Holmes.. who babbles about a unsolved case he barely remembers, why he uses a small boy to do the work by proxy? Seems a bit thin.
I would watch Sir Ian do a play that a 5 year old wrote. He would make it amazing.

City Boy - The Hangover
Written by on January 4, 2012 Part 2 of our City Boy body hanging project; still cutting, welding, hammering, and fitting...I ordered pizza 45 minutes ago and over my rumbling stomach, the only sound I can hear is Petey's hammer smashing--over and over again--on our poor Mustang's door panel. He's figured out a way to remove the inner doorskin metal without having to just leave it in and smash it flat, but that somehow still requires an amazing amount of hammering. He insists that it's the "right way" to do it, which means that's the only way we're going to do it, even at the cost of my sanity. In the grand scheme of things, this means we are still literally hammering away at the City Boy's bodywork, which you may have seen in a previous issue of your favorite magazine of all time (ahem, that's Circle Track). With our bumpers installed, we turned our attention to stripping our stock door panels and modifying the hatch to work out on the racetrack.
Of course, we've never actually been to the racetrack, so we're basically making this up on the fly, but light and loose wins races, so we're going with it. Thanks to our overbuilt but completely necessary NASCAR-inspired door bars, we knew that the stock door panels would never work, which meant some trimming was going to be in order. As you'll see, "some trimming" meant basically removing the entire door, leaving only the outer most doorskin. If you're cutting up your first race car along with us, it sounds like more work than it really is. Otherwise, if you're an old-school racer who has built more cars than I am years old, you know that it's always a bunch of fun to destroy stuff in the name of racing.
Along with the doorskin, we were also tasked with modifying the rear hatch of our Fox-body to eliminate the heavy factory glass and to creatively trim sections of the sheetmetal to drop some pounds and skirt some of the rules at our local tracks. Remember, when you're dealing with glass, please take it seriously. Precariously perching the hatch above an office dumpster and throwing old spark plugs and hammers at the glass until it breaks is not only irresponsible, but it is dangerous. If you can, it's best to get a local glass guy to come pull it out safely and doing so will save you the trouble of cleaning up shards of glass for days...ask us how we know.
Anyway, our pizza just got here and Pete finally stopped hammering, so I guess it is time to eat some food before I jump back behind the camera and watch Crew Chief Epple put the finishing touches on our door and hatch modifications. Follow along to see how it all goes together and make sure you send pictures of your first project to us dropping a quick email to email@example.com.

We really thought these would be very helpful in making herbicide applications safer, but we bought two and they were both ripped in a day or two. Ripped so badly that they could not even be worn.

Christina S.HairBlondeFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairDidn't LoveI wanted to love this flat iron, but it continually snagged my fine, color-treated hair. Go with Sedu Revolution instead.posted Dec 29, 2013Link to this post
SarahHairMedium BrownNormal HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairWonderful Flat IronI bought this iron early in 2010 because my Solia gave up on life after only a year and a half. I bought this one because it was on sale at the time and seemed to work well from other reviews. Well this is by far the best flat iron I have ever used. I'm going on 4 years with this one and it has never let me down. It not only straightens my hair beautifully and easily, it also works well to curl my hair. Best iron hands down.posted Nov 16, 2013Link to this post
AmandaHairMedium BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairLove!this is the perfect straightener for anyone. no matter what your hair type is, long, short, thick, thin, curly, straight, this will make your hair soft, smooth, shiny, and straight. i have recommended it to everyone. so now i recommend it to you guys. this is the only straightener that will do the job right! believe me i have tried everything, and this by far is my favorite! there is no comparison. i love this straightener.posted Oct 8, 2011Link to this post
Lindsay S.Amazing! Buy It!i got this for my birthday in November (2010) and i love it! it makes you're hair soo shiny! i have long medium thickness hair that is very wavy and it makes it very straight! all my friends have used this too and they love it! it works with short thick coarse hair, and fine colored hair. it's just amazing! it's totally worth the money! i highly recommend this. i have tried so many other ones like chi's and ghd's and babyliss and so many others and this is my favorite! i love it!posted Aug 22, 2011Link to this post
MeredithHairLight BrownNormal HairFine or Thin HairDidn't Live Up To Standards...but Customer Service Was Great!i spent lots of time on my computer researching different flat irons and this one looked great to me...though when it arrived (promptly, i might add) it certainly did not deliver. my hair was shiny, but not flat. it had a weird blue and red light switching on and off and no directions--the whole thing was a mess! very confusing for such a simple thing. i did like the aesthic appeal and how the plates easily glided along my hair, but i was not in love with this iron. i did return it and had my money fully refunded just a few days after i shipped it though, which was good. i do not reccommend this iron, but i do reccommend folica.com!posted May 23, 2011Link to this post

Step II uncovers the unique individual behind each whole type, explaining differences between two people with the same four-letter type, and identifying overlaps between individuals with different overall preferences.
MBTI experts, Penny Moyle and Gil Parsons, will showcase the latest developments in MBTI Step II, showing how it can be used to build on the MBTI Step I foundation with both individuals and teams. Using case studies, they'll guide you through Step II facets, 'Out Of Preference' scores, and how Step II takes personal development and coaching to another level.

Will Computers Make Better Decisions Than Humans?
Emma Birchall, Head of Research, Hot Spots Movement

45 mins
In the coming decades, 47% of jobs in the US will be replaced by computers. This alarming statistic is from research by Oxford University and has sparked a fierce debate in terms of the future of employment.
While the debate about the long-term implications continues, what we do know is that in the short to medium term we must develop a more sophisticated view of what it is that humans excel at, and what can be better completed by computers or technology. One of the areas that currently sits very much within the human domain is decision making: within our organisations we use technology and data to inform our decisions, rather than to make our decisions for us. But will this change in the coming decades as we place more and more faith in the ability of computers and advanced algorithms to outsmart us?
This webinar will provide viewers with the latest trends in automation and computerisation before exploring both sides of the debate on the role of computers in decision-making.

Young Skaggs opposes veteran Bedard in Anaheim
Southpaws square off as Angels, Rays begin four-game weekend set
The Rays' first look at Angels starter Tyler Skaggs will be a glimpse of the young left-hander at his best.
Skaggs hopes to build on a solid turn against the Blue Jays on Saturday, when he gave up only two runs on four hits in eight strong innings.
At one point, Skaggs retired 21 straight.
"I honestly didn't even think about it," Skaggs said. "Somebody asked me about it and I had no clue. I actually thought I walked somebody. Kind of just locked in and tried to take it pitch by pitch."
He also didn't allow a walk in an outing reminiscent of his better showings this season.
In his four starts with one or zero walks allowed, Skaggs is 2-0 with a 2.70 ERA. He has issued at least three bases on balls in his other starts, compiling a 1-1 record and a 6.89 ERA in those outings.
"Tyler is really coming into his own, you can really see the maturation process," Angels catcher Chris Iannetta said. "He just keeps getting better and hopefully he just keeps learning how to pitch and learning how to execute."
Veteran Rays left-hander Erik Bedard, who will man the mound opposite Skaggs, hopes to continue pitching deeper into his starts.
After totaling 12 2/3 innings in his first three starts, Bedard has logged six innings in back-to-back outings.
He has won both games, earning his first pair of back-to-back winning decisions since June 14-26, 2013.
But Bedard not only went deep Saturday, he delivered. The veteran southpaw one-hit the Indians in six innings at Tropicana Field.
"I can't say I expected a one-hitter, but I expected him to go deep in the game," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "He pitched really, really well. One hit, six innings, not bad. He's definitely showing signs of improvement."
Angels: Taking care of business on road
• The Angels won five of six on their road trip and are three games above .500, a six-game improvement from where they were after 39 games last year. The biggest reason for that is starting pitching. The Halos have a 3.62 ERA from the rotation.
"I think on this road trip the overall theme for us has been pitching. We've been pitching very well, and it's taken a little bit of pressure off of us to have to have Mike [Trout] and Albert [Pujols] do what they can do. And actually this trip they've both struggled a little bit," manager Mike Scioscia said. "But I think the young guys have come up and done a great job on the offensive end, gotten some big hits for us. Guys like C.J. Cron and Efren Navarro, Grant Green. It's keeping our heads above water. We're scoring just enough to get a lead, and we're holding it."
Rays: Longoria thrives near home
• In 21 games at Angel Stadium, Evan Longoria -- who hails from the area -- has a .377 batting average with six home runs and 17 RBIs.
Longoria has been in a funk lately, so Maddon was asked about having Longoria return to a place where he's played so well.
"It would be kind of nice [to get him going]," Maddon said. "Get him going back in the right direction. He works so hard. He shoulders so much. Like everybody else, I just want him to be himself and go play. I don't think like you have to do anything more."
As for why Longoria hits so well at Angel Stadium, Maddon points to comfort.
"Everybody always wants to play well for their family. Having grown up there, played there, Long Beach's field is not that far from Anaheim Stadium," Maddon said. "The whole vibe. The smell in the air. The tone of the sun during the course of the game. I'm sure all of that matters to him. He's definitely comfortable there."
Worth noting
• Rays ace David Price has 70 strikeouts and six walks, leading the Major Leagues with an 11.67 strikeouts/walks ratio.
• Halos outfielder Collin Cowgill has reached base safely in 21 of his 22 starts and 12 of his last 19 plate appearances. The Angels are 14-8 in his 22 starts.

Typically Woot, the ! symbol, T-shirts, etc. get rejected. I think this is the first Turbunguin Portmanteu shirt I've seen, and as Bad as I've wanted to, I havent' seen an Anvil shirt yet.
Re: Creature Comfort
I hope this prints on a t-shirt... so that woot eventually reprint it on an apron! (Totally love it, Ocho, just awesome. And I'm serious about the apron!)
bounty42 wrote:wow. just. wow. Man, now I'm gonna have to RE-GRAB this one when it gets Rejectionated.
I might have been mistaken. I doesn't look like the design was taken from another site. Customink.com givens the option to create your own design (hence...custom ink?). It has clip art that can be dropped in and colored automatically to create a design. So really this violates the no-clip art rule.
Re: I Can Haz?
This design is utterly fantastic! I rarely, "LOL" but I just did. Great idea and execution!
Re: Delicious!
Re: Cthulhu Ph'nomnomnom
Absolutely love this! It's ridiculous that it's not higher up in the ranks.

Re: Chopsticks!
I love this. Maybe on brown for soy sauce? I'd buy it either way.

If/when this shirt gets Rejectionator'd, can we run a kickstarter campaign to print this?
Generally, products created using images available on the site should not be resold commercially. In the event that you wish to resell such products, you agree to contact CustomInk.com and verify the legality of reselling such products prior to doing so.

grahamcrackercoyote wrote:Doesn't need the text!
I originally designed it without the text, but without it (and without the shirt title), it runs into trouble with the 3-second "get it" rule.
Re: Smokey's Medieval BBQ
Who's up for sword skewers? Found it!
My fiancé would absolutely love this. Cheers!
I disagree. If "grilled cheese" were obvious from either of the two meanings, then maybe. Instead, it's the glue between the two. Without that text, I'm pretty sure no one is going to get it. No one is going to look at that cheese taking a lie detector test and think "grilled cheese". And there's not a grilled cheese sandwich anywhere to lead you down that path. The cheese is getting "grilled", so the joke absolutely works, but that specific word is not a common enough association with a lie detector test for most people to make the jump. In short, the text is needed, and the shirt is hilarious because of it.
As a member of the "Prefer people don't need to stare at my chest to deduce the pun" club, I respectfully disagree. Does it need the text? Absolutely not - and I think that's a strength of any design. However, in this case, it makes the pun quite a bit easier to "read" and I appreciate that in this design. Otherwise, I think the average person glancing at my chest wouldn't "get" it that fast, and for a wordplay pun like this, I prefer that other people "get it." Share the joy, you know? (Side story: I deliberately wore "What's black and white and red all over?" to visit my most punny friend. She didn't realize there would be a pun involved in a shirt that reads as cute if you're not looking for the pun. As soon as I pointed out that it was a pun and I'd wore it because I thought she'd like it, she looked and laughed hard, but in general, that experience reinforced for me that wordplay-pun-shirts can benefit from a visual cue to onlookers to look for the pun.) Oh, and: Kevin! Very clever pun, well-executed with a great balance between detail that adds to the art and an overall visual that doesn't require an appreciation of the details to "get" the pun/laugh. I think that balance, if my explanation made any sense, helps a shirt appeal both to the wearer (sufficiently complex to keep interest once you know the pun) and to the wearer's audience (really only looking at the broad picture). I think that balance is part of what makes a shirt interesting to the shirt.woot aficionados as well as the causal buyer, so I hope my theory works for Grilled Cheese! ETA: whoops, started typing before Kevlar's response and other comments, didn't see them before I posted. Sorry to be repetitive, y'all!

"This class was wonderful! Linda is very patient and she explains each stitch as she goes along. She is easy to follow, and she has a very soothing demeanor which gave me confidence to try new things (I am a beginner crocheter). I just love how detail-oriented she is! Every step of the way she gives tips for polishing the look of your work. She addresses all of the little issues that you may have, and she helps you make everything look great if you are a perfectionist like I am. ... Thank you so much, Linda!"
