Bringing Home Baby tashtego

This June we welcomed tashtego into our hearts and into our yard.  This cause for celebration gave me the impetus to try and make a very large paella on the grill using charcoal (enough for 20).

 It was a bit dicey -- I forgot that you had to level the grill (I had it on cinder blocks so it was up higher), and oh, the coals burned so fast it almost stopped cooking in the middle (remedy: lift pan,  add more charcoal!).  A little burned on the bottom (again, remedy:  take off the grill before it burns), but great all the same.
