General Cooking Questions

My wife bought me a precious little vial of 9 grams of saffron for Christmas this year and I wanted some input on how to best use it. It seems to be decent quality, from Spain, not Iranian or anything but I don't want to blow it on the wrong dish, I don't know how many I will be able to use it for as 9g isn't very much. I smelled it once at a spice shop and thought it smelled like paprika, nothing wrong with that but I was hoping for a bit.....more.
