Photo of the day: Paella making in Chile (and your Weekend Eats reminder)

Paella 
Maybe it's just the camera's vantage point. Maybe I had too much white sangria last night.

But is it me, or does that paella look as big as a swimming pool?

This photo comes to us from Patrio, who captured paella making on the patio all the way from Chile.

You can consider it your personal reminder to join us bright and early Monday morning for Weekend Eats. (That's when we delay the start of the work week by swapping photos and chit chatting about what we ate over the weekend. Join us on Twitter or on Facebook, your choice. Check out this photo gallery to see what I mean.) You can upload your Weekend Eats photos here.

Thanks for sharing it, Patrio, and for giving Weekend Eats an international twist!

Photo of the day: Naomi Howland of Claremont tries our stuffed leg of lamb

Roast 
If you try any of the recipes from the Los Angeles Times Test Kitchen, please share your photos with us online so we can showcase them here on our food blog, and occasionally in print. You can upload them here.

This photo comes to us from Naomi Howland of Claremont. She tackled Food Editor Russ Parsons' Easter recipe for a leg of lamb stuffed with greens, feta and pine nuts. She reports backs: “The roast lamb was a hit with my family.” She also offers up this bit of advice: ”Next time I would make more of the stuffing, bake it and serve it on the side, we liked it so much. The lamb was delicious too. And the recipe was easy to do.”

We liked the photo so much we showcased it on page E2 of this week's Food section. Thanks for sharing your photo and suggestion with us, Naomi!

Pop-tarts
By day, Donald S. Wilson is principal of Wonderland Avenue Elementary in Laurel Canyon. But most nights find him in the kitchen cooking for his son, Andrew. (You can follow his adventures at the blog Feeding Andrew.)

Donald took the L.A. Times Test Kitchen's recipe for homemade Pop Tarts for a spin, and shared the results with us. We liked this photo so much we published it in all its golden, flaky glory on E2 of Thursday's Food section. Thanks for allowing us to do that, Donald.
