An American Paella

WEBSITE: www.AnAmericanPaella.com
The book and video, (due Fall 2007) are a compilation of stories from descendants of Spanish immigrant families in Winters, California. The stories are based on memories, experiences, and tales that have been passed down for almost four generations. A few of the stories are from individuals that actually were born in Spain and immigrated to the United States, many of the stories are from individuals whose parents were the immigrants, and the remaining are from those whose grandparents and great-grandparents left their homes in search of a better life for their families. They found that better life in Winters, California.

Una buena madera de conservar la cultura Española, fui creado en Winters. Mis muy estimados amigos de descendencia Española eran y serán una gente amable y mas que nada modesta.Bienvenidos al Las America con brazos habiertos!

Hey, that is a picture of my Dad holding a flag on Youth Day (he is on the far right)...crazy!

My Mom is putting together a book about pioneer families from Winters as a community project for the library. If you or anyone you know would like to share some historical photos let me know.

tiyui, mejor te vas a ir tu a la mierda, o mejor vete tu a America y alli trata de hacer una paella como las de aqui sin los ingredientes que disponemos aqui, a ver si te sale tan magnifica. Y por cierto, "eso" tiene bastante de paella, asi que tu debes tener bastante de gilipollas. Y siento ser tan ordinaria, pero es que me has tocado la moral con tu ignorancia, bastante merito tiene que sigan cocinando paella y la lleven a otros paises como para que vengas tu a hablar sobre insultos...
