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.]

Saffron

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.)

I know not the Rick's Rather Rich Ice Cream of which you speak; is it in this area? I have had saffron ice cream before, and it was surprisingly good. Thanks for the reminder, I'd totally forgotten about that. =)

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.
