That is, until I found this at the NW Veg Fest...
Check out the ingredients!
This amazingly delicious paste is made by a Thai couple in Portland. They also make green, yellow, red, and Massamun.
I was excited to try it out, so I made a trip to the Saturday Farmers' Market in Eugene (which is huge and happens to be the oldest in the country) to sample some of this spring's treasures.
I decided to use baby bok choy, sweet red peppers, yellow onion, tofu, kale and collard florets, pineapple chunks, bamboo shoots, zucchini, basil, mint, and French radishes.
If you ever find kale or collard green florets BUY EVERY BUNCH. You will fall in love.
This was so good, I almost cried. I can't wait to try the other pastes.
Some dreams do come true.

Oh, I know just what you mean! I searched so long and hard for a good curry paste (or recipe). I've discovered two that I really like, but I don't know the brand names-- I just recognize the packaging when I see it! I always find them in asian grocery stores. I'll have to try this one if I ever stumble across it! These pictures are beautiful.
This one's my favorite! It's cheap (~$1.20 and makes enough for about 4 meals) and there's an Asian convenience store two blocks from my house that carries it.
Ingredients: chili, garlic, shallot, lemon grass, salt, sugar, spices, galangal
Ooh! That's a deal! I haven't seen Maesri before, but it looks good! There's a giant Asian grocery down the street. I'll see if I can find it.
The photos look incredible and are making me hungry, despite the fact that it's only 7:48 am. The curry paste sounds amazing!
