For lunch I went to Langer's Deli and had the famous #19: hand-cut hot pastrami, coleslaw, Russian dressing (I had mine on the side), and melted swiss cheese on amazing rye bread. With a Dr. Brown's Black Cherry Soda, of course (they don't have Cott here).

Thank you! It was VERY yum and enjoyed :)

My lord fotografica, I have never heard of Paella but it looks beautiful

Thanks. Paella is a Spanish dish,originated in Valencia:
Paella (Valencian: [paˈeʎa], Spanish: [paˈeʎa]) is a Valencian rice dish that originated in its modern form in the mid-19th century near lake Albufera, a lagoon in Valencia, on the east coast of Spain.[1] Many non-Spaniards view paella as Spain's national dish, but most Spaniards consider it to be a regional Valencian dish. Valencians, in turn, regard paella as one of their identifying symbols.

There are three widely known types of paella: Valencian paella (Spanish: paella valenciana), seafood paella (Spanish: paella de marisco) and mixed paella (Spanish: paella mixta), but there are many others as well. Valencian paella consists of white rice, green vegetables, meat (rabbit, chicken, duck), land snails, beans and seasoning. Seafood paella replaces meat and snails with seafood and omits beans and green vegetables. Mixed paella is a free-style combination of meat, seafood, vegetables and sometimes beans. Most paella chefs use calasparra[2][3] or bomba[3] rices for this dish. Other key ingredients include saffron and olive oil.

Depending on which region of Spain,usually determines the ingredients. I went with a Valencia style,with my own tweaks. It has chicken,chorizo sausage,littleneck clams, scallops and shrimp. I put the lobster on for the last few minutes or it would overcook. It's a great dish and makes a great presentation on the table :)
 
Bought a Chapati Tawa last week - a flat griddle pan used to make Indian Chapati flat bread.

My Tawa was super-cheap, less than $10 for a pressed steel pan - which needed a bit of work up front to season it and make it non-stick.

Chapatis are really simple to make. Get some chapati flour (quite a rough grade of wheat flour), add water and a little oil, then mix into a dough. Knead for a minute or two then set aside for 30 minutes for the gluten to develop.

Use golfball sized pieces of dough, and roll into side-plate sized rounds using a small rolling pin (I used a wooden cocktail muddler which worked great!). Heat the tawa to medium-hot and throw the chapati on (no oil). Cook for about a minute both sides, then remove the tawa from the gas and throw the chapati straight on the flame. Steam inside makes it blow up like a ball! Here's a YouTube vid that demonstrates (FFwd to 6 mins!). Add ghee/butter when they're done.

I cooked three, and also cooked up some spicy chicken curry (with anaise, cinnamon, cardamon, cloves, chilli, coriander, cumin, onion, garlic, ginger). A very tasty lunch! :)
