My final challenge of the year was yucca. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to really figure out what to do with it and with back to back business trips after Thanksgiving, it made it increasingly difficult to put the yucca on the plate.
I wasn't able to get a picture of the boyfriend's plate before he started eating this less-starch like root vegetable and so to that, picture unavailable. I sauteed the yucca in some butter and salted it. To add a little bit of flavor and color, I added some turmeric.
The results were well, tolerable on my end but the boyfriend liked it. I'm almost starting to think he's being a bit too generous in likes this year.
As a result, it made picking our top dishes of the year rather difficult.
In the year 2013, I set out to do 52 different ingredients for each week of the year. With the number of issues we faced, the boyfriend's apartment getting remodeled due to mold and a quick move, and new job of mine having to travel virtually every other week, we completed 34 of the 52 ingredients. We narrowed it down to our top 10.
Want to know what our top 10 were? Well, that's a going to be for another blog to close our the year in style and to help us ease into a new challenge for 2014. The theme of 2014 will be reveled at that point too.
Meanwhile, my final challenge of the year: cooking a belated Christmas lunch/dinner for my parents.
