* 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). 
* 2015-05-12 [http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/curried-cauliflower-and-chickpea-stew-352533 Curried Cauliflower and Chickpea Stew], doubled with Rice.  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.

* 2015-05-05 [http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/02/spicy-peanut-noodle-salad-with-cucumbers-red-peppers-recipe.html Spicy Peanut Noodle Salad] (doubled) and a *repeat dish (we hardly ever do that!) [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ellie-krieger/minestrone-soup-recipe.html Minestrone Soup].  Both excellent.  There was an enormous amount of chopping for the noodle salad, and it *was* pretty spicy, but it was great, we doubled and actually served the second half later, to avoid the sauce making the other things all limp, worked out really well.
