So, if you don’t mind, can you please share with us:

    STORY: When my bro first moved to Boulder from Boston, we used to
    throw an annual Bouillabaisse Bash – inviting friends to bring favorite
    bottle of wine and a pound of seafood [assorted fish, lobsters (if they
    were bringing lobsters they were allowed one each not necessarily a
    whole pound!), giant prawns, and king crab, the clams and mussels &
    squid (cleaned before they show up) and I made the broth and had
    everything ready to go when the assorted seafood showed up to add gently
    to the large pots (yes 2 pots) of bubbling broth. I also bought raw or
    partially cooked bread dough from my local bakery to finish baking in
    my oven so when guests arrived I was just pulling several loaves of
    fresh baked crusty sourdough or french bread out of my oven. The house
    smelled like Paradise in Paris. This was always the BEST party ever!
    AND we always had enough left over to send guests home with their own
    jar of the amazing fish soup with a ribbon on their large Ball Jar.
