Well, SusanNS, in just over 24 hours you have gotten more than 82 responses to your question. Did you find your answers? Was this post useful to you? ← I'm amazed a simple question would provoke such spirited responses!!! I think I may have used too much saffron and I'm going to try it in a paella or boulliabaisse this weekend. I'm not letting one failure stop my culinary adventure. After all, eating is about trying new things, isn't it? The saffron I have is from Iran (Azerbaijan is on its border). Thanks everyone!
