And fun did I have today... I went on a scavenger hunt. For saffron...

Not that it's necessarily difficult to find. But I also didn't want to buy a large container and spend $20 on something I've never used before - my regular market had it for $19.59! Ouch... so, I found this small container (a little bit bigger than a Quarter) at World Market, for $4.99 (a product of India).

The saffron is very tightly packed into this little container. . .

And once you open it they just start falling out. . .

In a few days I will use this to make a saffron risotto... it will not be my first attempt at risotto. But it WILL be my first attempt at saffron risotto. I look forward to the experiment...
