I enjoyed it. I put tumeric in the rice, and american saffron, thyme, paprika, and parsley in the paella. The kids apparently liked it too, as I didn't have any leftover.
I did 12ish miles on the Cannondale today, after getting it set up with the Centaur 10sp triple group. Unfortunately, the chain broke at the bottom of my final climb, but I think it was a decent ride otherwise. I think I like it as much as the calfee.
