* 2017-06-06 [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/parkers-split-pea-soup-recipe-1916855 split pea soup] 3x, a repeat and [http://www.cravingsofalunatic.com/2014/03/one-hour-bread-recipe.html one hour bread] 2x.  The pea soup, as before, needed a bit of adjustment at the end (we added 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, a couple of teaspoons of oregano and 1/2 teaspoon of ground chilis, as well as salt), but it turned out excellent, would make again.  The bread was highly experimental, but turned out GREAT, super yummi, it vanished quickly.  I don't know how good it would be after it cools, but it was amazing warm & fresh.
* 2017-05-31 [https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2835667/jerk-sweet-potato-and-black-bean-curry jerk sweet potato and black bean curry] a favourite repeat 2x, [https://cooklikeajamaican.com/rice-and-peas/ rice and peas] 3x.  Plus [https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/ultimate-chocolate-chip-cookies/77c14e03-d8b0-4844-846d-f19304f61c57 ultimate chocolate chip cookies] 2x for dessert (made 77!).  The black bean dish, may be the best version of it we've ever made, it was amazing.  The rice and peas, is actually rice and beans, it's recommended in the black bean recipe as a companion dish, and it was good for that, but it wasn't anything to write home about on it's own (needed more salt at the very least).  The cookies were amazing warm, but I think would be a bit crumbly and dry if any were actually left long enough to stop being warm... still super delicious, would make and consume again!
