Saffron

Yesterday, I finally founded saffron which I wanted to buy for a while in order to cook paella. I did not finded at a supermarket, but at a pharmacy.

The pharmacy where I founded is where you can Chinese traditional medicine. They are very nice and have big shelves full of different types of herbs, mushrooms, etc. Among them I founded saffron which in Chinese is called “zang hong hua” (Tibetean Red Flower).

Last weekend I finally had the announced party, but I was not able to cook paella as I did not have all the ingredients… We mainly had Chinese food which Victor and Mario appreciated very much after several days on Mongolian diet, which I believe is very limited and pour.

Xmas are around the corner and now that I know where the saffron comes from I have decided to go there (Tibet). I plan to spend there the last week of December and the first week of 2008. I am going to try to bring warm cloths because the weather there is quite cold.
