* 2015-05-26 Pari's Vegan Shepherds Pie, and [http://www.feastie.com/recipe/health-happiness/spicy-mushroom-tacos Spicy Mushroom Tacos], tacos tripled, shepherds pie doubled. The pie recipe came out of a "Vegan Cooking for Carnivores" book. Both owe thanks to a donation of 5 lbs of specialty mushrooms (king oyster, oyster and shiitake) by Eric's dad (these would otherwise have been really unaffordable). The tacos were *awesome*, best thing we've made since the jerk sweet potato dish in march. Note the taco pictures show orange bell peppers, but the recipe doesn't have them - we added them anyway, in with the mushroom saute at the end. The guac also ended up being more of a salsa since the only avocados we could find were super hard, still great and totally went well with the mushroom bit. The Shepherds pie was also good, and far more plentiful as well, which is good, everything got eaten... probably can't ever make either again since the mushrooms would be way too expensive, but it was a great meal while it lasted :-) | |||
* 2015-05-19 [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/10757/roast-summer-vegetables-and-chickpeas Roast Summer Vegetables and Chickpeas], tripled with bread. We made the two parts separately and only combined them at the end, rather than adding the second to the first and simmering. This left the potatoes a little undercooked, but was great for all the other veggies, which had a great crunch and taste. I'd do the same again next time, except I'd microwave the potatoes after I chopped them to pre-cook them a bit. We made it in three batches, which came out of the oven over time, that worked awesome. We also added a lot of extra spices to the tomatoes part, including curry powder and ground cloves, which tasted awesome, if I made it again I'd make MORE of the second part, it was a little bit spare (so say 4x that part, or maybe even 5x). Bread: Daria made a great olive oil and rosemary spread, then baked, to give it extra flavor. Great dish overall and with triple we had a LOT but it still went quickly (gone by 10pm or so). | * 2015-05-19 [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/10757/roast-summer-vegetables-and-chickpeas Roast Summer Vegetables and Chickpeas], tripled with bread.

Roberta took the lead after Eric left at 5:30, apparently it turned out well and people absolutely gobbled it down, there was nothing left at 8:30 when Eric got back. | * 2015-05-12 [http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/curried-cauliflower-and-chickpea-stew-352533 Curried Cauliflower and Chickpea Stew], doubled with Rice.
