INGREDIENTS

* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1/2 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into 6 pieces
* 1/2 (2 pound) rabbit, cleaned and cut into pieces
* 1 head garlic, cloves separated and peeled
* 1 tomato, finely chopped
* 1 (15.5 ounce) can butter beans
* 1/2 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas
* 1/2 (10 ounce) package frozen green beans
* salt to taste
* 1 teaspoon mild paprika, or to taste
* 1 pinch saffron threads
* dried thyme to taste (optional)
* dried rosemary to taste (optional)
* 4 cups uncooked white rice, or as needed

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat a **** pan over medium-high heat, and coat with olive oil. Add the chicken, rabbit and garlic; cook and stir until nicely browned. Move the browned meat to the sides of the pan, and add the tomato, butter beans, peas, and green beans. Season with paprika, and mix well.
2. Fill the **** pan almost to the top with water, measuring the water as you put it in. This is to help you to determine how much rice to add, as **** pans come in different sizes. Bring to a boil. Simmer for about 1 hour to make a nice broth.
3. Season with a generous amount of salt, and just enough saffron to make a nice yellow color. Season with thyme and rosemary if desired. The goal is to make a rich tasting broth that will soak into the rice to make it delicious. Stir in half as much rice as the amount of water in the pan. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.

My Dream Trip (Final)

Where am I going? Italy
Why?: Because I have never been there and I lOVE Italian food.
When?: Off season(I will figure out when the off season is later,) that I expect to get discounts.
With who?: With my close girl friends who have been to Italy before.

1:20 pm Depart Tokyo (NRT) Arrive Rome (FCO) 7:00 pm	Mon 1-Sep Duration: 12hr 40mn	Alitalia 785 Nonstop flight

Avobe is my Dream Trip's Flight Schedule :)!

The price for the round ticket is $1.796.

Because of my shoe string budget, which is $2.500, I decided to go on a "Y" class to Rome by direct flight by Alitalia Airline.


According to the "SKYTRAX", Alitalia is a three stars company.

For me, it is more important to go to my destination directly rather than making many stops on better class because it gives me more time to enjoy myself in the place I travel.





In my DREAM TRIP to Rome, I will be staying at the four star hotel, "Hotel Diocleziano" It costs 23,527 yen per night.








Colosseum:Rome
You can see one of the seven wonders of the world and learn about its most interesting facts.
It is stanning to see the huge buildings of ancient Rome.
Colosseum is one of the most famous stadium in the world where battles of gladiators and animals entertained the Romans and their Emperors.
Colosseum is truly picturesque and it is preserving pristine structure.
Imaging how the events were held in the arena of the Colloseum would be a good way of spending time there.

Also, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill are located closely. I got to see all those places.
