Wow, 2009 has breezed by. Time flies when you’re having fun, and I have you to thank you for that. Thanks for your questions, comments, thumbs up, pictures, subscribing, facebook fan-ing, and new friendships. Thank You!
We thought it would be fun to take a look at the top 10 posts of 2009 (based on traffic):
#10 Crawfish Gumbo
Let’s jump right in, hot and heavy with this Crawfish Gumbo. For a couple of New Yorkers, we made a pretty mean gumbo, with real roux and everything! This post is full of tips for this work intensive dish, and if you want more crawfish, see Crawfish Boil too, made by a real Louisiana dad!
Lon made these awesome bones with white chocolate and pretzels for Halloween. We’re glad you liked it, or were you just checking out Lon dressed as Wolverine?
Who doesn’t love Red Velvet Cake? Yea, just dangle it over me. Thanks guys. If there’s anyone else that’s allergic to artificial food coloring like me, check out my Beet Chocolate Cupcakes.
#7 Doubanjiang Beef Short Ribs
I’m so glad you all liked this one because it’s definitely a personal favorite of mine, and it’s so easy, you wouldn’t believe it unless you saw it here, but now you know it’s really really true, and delicious.
In 6th place, is the pumpkin lasagna, but it’s probably #1 in terms of being the most tried recipe on FoodMayhem of 2009. I get e-mails and messages all the time, from people telling me how much they’ve enjoyed this recipe. I’ve also gotten several pics from people, which you’ve seen in our FoodMayhem Fan Pics section. I love this recipe and all the great feedback puts a smile on my face every time. Thanks!
Don’t like left-overs? Wrap it in dough and you’ve got something like an empanada and no one will ever know it’s left-overs. The possibilities are endless.
A healthy treat with just two ingredients? No wonder this one was popular.
Getting into the top 3! My mom taught me how to make this classic Chinese soup and I will never go through another winter without it. It is the perfect winter lunch, first course, last course (Chinese have soup last), or any time snack.
I want to stuff just about anything with melted cheese, and this burger is a darn good way to start.
#1 Chef Jody Williams Steamed Scrambled Eggs
The #1 post of 2009 is the one where Chef Jody Williams shows me her special technique for steam scrambling eggs! I’m not surprised this is your favorite; it’s mine too. It’s also our first post with a video, so more of that to come.
Thanks for a great 2009! We’ll see you in 2010!

Happy new year!
Sin Lan Fai Luck! (more pronounciation, hehe)
That’s a great round up of this past year. 🙂 Thanks for sharing. Those eggs looks great, and now I’m dying to try that pumpkin lasagna. Have a fabulous new year. 🙂
My husband is thinking about putting Juicy Lucy burgers on the menu at his family’s pub. Your post inspired him to reinvent their boring burger!
EMC, exciting! Was just talking to a friend who has a pub about their menu. I think there’s lots of fun twists that can be done. IS he gearing up for superbowl?
Oh yeah, he’s sooo ready for the superbowl. Here’s the link to the family pub: http://www.yelp.com/biz/ricos-public-house-pullman
It’s where I met Ian and he’s been lobbying to get the Juicy Lucy on the menu for quite some time. If/When it happens, we’ll give you your credit on the menu blurb and send it to you!
Aww Erin. Maybe you guys should make an Erin and Ian Burger! haha I was reading the description of Rico’s in some of the comments and it makes so much sense that you would meet your husband at the cool pub that looks like a historic library with a a nice variety of beers on tap. Are you going to write a book about it?
