* 2018-09-25 [http://www.oneingredientchef.com/thai-red-curry/ thai red curry] a repeat 10x with [https://cookieandkate.com/2015/thai-pineapple-fried-rice-recipe/ pineapple fried rice] 2x and [https://realhousemoms.com/lime-sugar-cookies/ lime sugar cookies].  The red curry, great as usual; I used cans of red curry paste from the nearby ethnic super market, much cheaper than the jars at FreshCo, but I think there is significant sugar in them, the whole curry ended up much sweeter than I remember it being.  Also, 10x, but I only used 8 cans of coconut milk, and even that was too much - I think you could get away with 6.  Also, lots of extra veg as always.  The pineapple rice, we had to drain extra juice from the pineapple out of the pan in order to begin the caramelizing, but otherwise as written - and it was delicious, would make again.  The lime cookies, I made because we had extra lime juice - though you couldn't taste the lime, they were delicious.
* 2018-09-18 [https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/parkers-split-pea-soup-recipe-1916855 parkers split pea soup] 3x a repeat and [https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/6773/simple-whole-wheat-bread/ simple whole wheat bread] a repeat and [https://thebusybaker.ca/easy-classic-peach-pie/ easy classic peach pie].  The soup, excellent as always, we added a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice, and a teaspoon of hot paprika, but otherwise as written.  The bread, incredible, the honey taste and the sweetness are awesome, and doing it in the cupcake pan is fun and easy to serve, would make again, even though it does take almost 3h.  The pie, the peaches were great, but the recipe was underwhelming.  I think in particular I agree with other recipes that the oven should be hotter - we had it in for over the maximum 50 minutes it called for and the dough was STILL doughy and undercooked.  Ironically I picked the recipe partly for that lower temp, to agree with bread...

* 2018-09-04 [https://www.hotforfoodblog.com/recipes/2014/2/11/cauliflower-buffalo-wings Cauliflower Buffalo Wings] 4x a favorite repeat and [https://onlyglutenfreerecipes.com/recipe-items/vegan-vichyssoise-soup-recipe/ Vegan Vichyssoise Soup] 4x.  The "wings", once again absolutely amazing.  The transformation is remarkable.  As advised below, we used the hot sauce and the "ranch dip" (we actually baked the dip on! it worked well), and didn't use the "salt & vinegar" sauce at all.  The soup was simple and delicious, would make again for sure.  That's sure one heck of a huge amount of leeks, but the cooked down pretty quickly in two frying pans.  Chilling with ice/the fridge got it to just above room temp by the time of a slightly-late dinner, but I actually think it would be fine served hot too.
