Okay, a question for my friends who cook:

I have a large-ish quantity of powdered saffron;  what should I do with it?

[Edit: For clarification, that's me requesting any of your favorite recipes involving saffron since I don't know of any. I can STFW, of course, but I'd appreciate any recommendations.]

My inclination would be to make paella, and also to seal up much of it in something dark and airtight. If you like, I could ask the Knife Wielding Feminists for their suggestions.

Believe it or not, there is also such a thing as saffron ice cream. But that wouldn't be my first (or second or third) thought. I've actually only seen it once, at Rick's Rather Rich Ice Cream (have you ever been there? I've only been once, years ago.)

Rick's Rather Rich is located in Palo Alto, CA, I think. It might be Mountain View, it's not far from the border there.
