Quiet Saffron Rice

[glicky]

I made a golden mountain of this last night and am gobbling it right now. I love saffron. It's so quiet and pretty. Like, shhhhh. I wonder what the SUPER expensive stuff tastes like. Anyone know? Someday I'll do the Rice Soak Test like the NC post talks about in the post, but I'm feelin lazy... 
By the way, does anyone here soak their rice? I'm curious.

Below is my Saffron Rice. (thanks, NC) I added a little cayenne and chunky garlic salt on top.
