Over the years, some posts have resonated with readers of this blog.  Without rhyme or reason, I might add.  Maybe there's a reason, but I'm not privy to it.  

That being said, here are links to the posts that receive hits year after year, week after week.   Many of them are recipes.  Some are thoughts about art (Mary Seagull) or even books.  Take a look if you have missed them.

Penzey's Butter Chicken Recipe

Usually the web will produce the right recipe, but in this case I couldn't find the original Penzey's recipe.  We made this for two dinners and one lunch (mine, all mine!!!) and it was easy and delicious.  I had some garam masala that I had made for a previous recipe.  A well-stocked spice drawer is a cook's BFF.  I did use fresh garlic and fresh ginger and made my own tomato puree with grape tomatoes and a spoonful of water.  We ate Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice.  Yesterday I made a salad with red leaf lettuce, cara cara orange and avocado with a little lemon/oil dressing gussied up with sugar and poppyseeds.  Yum!  Here, clipped straight from the catalog, is Penzey's Butter Chicken recipe.  Enjoy!!!  I used chicken, but the vegetarian version sounds good, too.
