* 2016-06-07 [https://foodforhealth.kaiserpermanente.org/recipes/vegetarian-sweet-potato-chili/ vegetarian sweet potato chili] 4x with [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3238/spicy-indian-rice spicy indian rice] and [http://www.veganricha.com/2015/08/carrot-zucchini-chickpea-fritters-vegan-recipe.html carrot zucchini chickpea fritters] plus a "broccoli surprise" by Matt. The chili was HUGE, 4x actually made two big pots, not one. It was also well below average, kind of plain and sweet in a bad way (we think it was the creamed corn); we extensively altered it at the end (more garlic, some fermented bean paste, and huge amounts of lemon juice) and that made it OK. We have a lot left over (10+ servings). The rice dish was amazing, would make again - though we just used enough water, not the overdose they call for, and forgot the peanuts. The fritters are also yummi, less spicy than I expected, really good with a bit of sriracha. Matt's Broccoli Surprise was also great, it used the same fermented bean paste, called "doubanjiang", and some tofu & garlic, all roasted in various stages, simple and delicious. | |||
* 2016-06-01 [http://yupitsvegan.com/2015/04/25/general-tsos-chickpeas/ General Tso's Chickpeas] a repeat, 4x and a curry by Pari, both with [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/garlic-cilantro-lime-rice-recipe.html garlic cilantro line rice] 2x, and for dessert: [http://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/2015/07/05/vegan-meringue-cookies/ Vegan Meringue Cookies]. The General Tso, awesome as usual. Pari's curry (with potatoes, onions, tomatoes, cilantro and coconut milk) was great too. The lime rice, *great*, but also quite subtle - was a little overpowered by the two dishes tonight, I would do it again, but pair it with something a little less intense, like maybe a thai curry or something. The dessert, using "aquafaba" (bean water, literally the water from a can of chickpeas, usually wasted!) was incredible!!! Going to make again for sure. I can't believe how well it worked, and how easy it was too with the stand mixer :-) | * 2016-06-01 [http://yupitsvegan.com/2015/04/25/general-tsos-chickpeas/ General Tso's Chickpeas] a repeat, 4x and a curry by Pari, both with [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/garlic-cilantro-lime-rice-recipe.html garlic cilantro line rice] 2x, and for dessert: [http://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/2015/07/05/vegan-meringue-cookies/ Vegan Meringue Cookies].

* 2016-05-24 [http://www.yummly.com/recipe/external/New-Potato-Rendang-_-Green-Beans-514450 Potato Rendang with Green Beans] a repeat, 8x, [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/87590/japanese-style-sesame-green-beans/ Japanese-Style Sesame Green Beans] 4x and 6 cups of carrot rice (9 carrots). The rendang is great, would make again; it's a repeat from the very bottom with no comments so I wasn't sure. The beans are incredible, and so simple too, totally make them again! The carrot rice is an improv based on last weeks - lots of people told me it was good but they didn't like the onions in it, so no onions this time! We also made a rosemary lemonade by boiling some (dried) rosemary and squeezing all the zested lemons & limes from the rendang, it was really excellent as well! | * 2016-05-24 [http://www.yummly.com/recipe/external/New-Potato-Rendang-_-Green-Beans-514450 Potato Rendang with Green Beans] a repeat, 8x, [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/87590/japanese-style-sesame-green-beans/ Japanese-Style Sesame Green Beans] 4x and 6 cups of carrot rice (9 carrots).
