Did you know? I like Masaman

I was at Harris Teeter the other day. For those of you who aren't from around here, I know it sounds funny, but it is just a grocery store. I haven't really gone there since I quit couponing because it's, you know, nice. Dim lighting, olive bar, people bagging your groceries for you - all that fancy stuff. Anyway, I had to check out the Asian food section, since my usual store is somewhat lacking in that department (okay, they don't even have soy sauce!).

I was excited to see this new Masaman Curry from World Foods. We have tried have a dozen different masamans and masaman pastes, never homemade because I simply cannot buy the right spices for it, but I have never seen this version. Had to buy it. We tried it tonight and it did not disappoint. It wasn't the least bit spicy but some of the flavors were quite pungent, so Colin, who normally likes masaman, wasn't too pleased, but Chad and I were. We just let the kids go crazy with the pad thai and now we still have leftover curry. Boo-yah! So if you ever happen to see this stuff at your fancy grocery store, give it a try.
