I was skimming through my posts for the year, to see if there was anything I could pull for a Top Ten list.There really wasn't, and besides, it occurred to me it would be immodest to trumpet my 10 faves.
What I did see was a theme of very casual, comforty food. Bowls of food, pots of food, slow cookers of food.
Then, something caught my eye. My standout purchase of the year, an Asian clay pot. We have used it for so many satisfying meals, tweaking the ingredients and learning the ropes.
A recent tweak was cooking potato and cauliflower in the pot, instead of tofu and mushrooms. And, of course, that calls for curry flavors.
We recently bought a jar of Trader Joe's green Thai curry paste. And we recently bought a jar of Korean gochujang, a red peppery, sweet sauce. Good mixture for this dish. Garlic, of course.
So easy.
My Top One choice.

"immodest to trumpet"I think you are more of a trombone, no a large and LOUD tuba! But you are my favortie marching band.
Chilebrown: You are charming. I will bang my glockenspiel in your general direction.
What's the green mixed in - kale? spinach? My go-to is a T-Fal roasting pan, very old and well used, that turns out lovely meals every time.
Zoomie: Oh, yes. The green stuff was bok choy leaves. The stems were in there too, but they melt away.
I'd like to see your T-Fal.
I'm not sure if it's a standout for the year but this http://bit.ly/8rvpWN has certainly brightened up the kitchen with it's funky freakishness.
So far only used to boil a few spuds and some pumpkin but I have plans ....
Mouse: I chased that link when you first Tweeted (and got the jazzy tune stuck in my brain). It's really cute, and I love the idea that you can lower all your food items into the boiling water at the same time.
Hey, Mouse - that thing is cool! Like a steamer, only more flexible. I even love the color.
Zoomie & Cookie, it's like cooking in a Jellyfish, only not cruel!
Mouse: Ha ha ha!
