* 2017-07-18 [https://minimalistbaker.com/thai-yellow-coconut-curry-mango/ thai yellow coconut mango curry] 6x and [https://www.thestar.com/life/food_wine/2015/04/09/rastafarian-restaurant-in-scarborough-offers-vegan-meals-from-scratch.html Ital Vital’s Ginger-Carrot Rice] 3x a repeat and [https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/chewy-ginger-molasses-cookies/ chewy ginger molasses cookies]. The mango curry was amazing, super sweet and lots of flavor, would make again. Next time I think I would try to pick riper mangoes in general. 6x filled the pot right to the brim, even though I only used 10 cans of coconut milk - I think actually given how watery it was, 8 cans would be sufficient. Also, I cut the sugar a bit, but I would cut it even more next time - I think half of what they call for would be sufficient. The rice, we made with this crazy "red cargo" rice that I found at a Korean grocery store, but it did not improve the rice - in fact I think it killed the taste a bit, the rice dish was unremarkable, whereas last time we made it it was incredible. The cookies, delicious and incredible but also SUPER RICH, it's actually hard to eat more than one! We made them with demerara sugar, using less molasses, including demerara sugar for the final coating, I think that contributed to the richness. | |||
* 2017-07-11 [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/gazpacho-recipe-1941264 gazpacho] a favorite repeat, 4x, and [https://minimalistbaker.com/vietnamese-spring-rolls-with-crispy-tofu/ Vietnamese Spring Rolls with Crispy Tofu] 4x. The gazpacho was *amazing* this time, I think partly thanks to using fresh garlic scapes from my garden. 4x completely filled the largest pot to the brim, it was perfect, and we had enough left over for me to take some. The spring rolls were also delicious, but a lot of work - Roberta did most of the chopping and rolling, while I made the sauces. Was really great to have two cold dishes for such a hot day. We also had a large watermellon which almost entirely vanished as an orderve. | * 2017-07-11 [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/gazpacho-recipe-1941264 gazpacho] a favorite repeat, 4x, and [https://minimalistbaker.com/vietnamese-spring-rolls-with-crispy-tofu/ Vietnamese Spring Rolls with Crispy Tofu] 4x.

* 2017-07-04 [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/mujaddara/ Mujaddara] a repeat, 4x and [https://www.loveandlemons.com/vegan-carrot-cake-macadamia-frosting/ vegan carrot cake with macadamia frosting] doubled. The Mujaddara, great again - and 4x was a HUGE amount, basically two pots worth, we had some left overs, and it tasted great, especially with the yogurt (I couldn't find vegan yogurt so we used the real stuff, with TRIPLE garlic, of course). The carrot cake itself was good, but the icing wasn't wonderful - though to be fair, I wasn't able to buy macadamia's, so I just doubled the amount of cashews, that might have had some effect. | * 2017-07-04 [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/mujaddara/ Mujaddara] a repeat, 4x and [https://www.loveandlemons.com/vegan-carrot-cake-macadamia-frosting/ vegan carrot cake with macadamia frosting] doubled.
