* 2016-05-17 [http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipe/golden-thai-curry-with-green-beans/ Golden Thai Curry with Green Beans] 4x and [http://minimalistbaker.com/the-best-damn-vegan-mashed-potatoes/ Vegan Mashed Potatoes] doubled 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.  The carrot rice was great, should make again; triple was a big pot, it lasted longer than the curry, so double might be enough next time.  We also failed to use the coconut oil, and added the cloves (1/3 of what it called for, next time I would try 2/3rds) late, so might get better.  The curry was ordinary - too many potatoes watered down the taste and texture.  We also subbed bok-choi and broccali for the carrots, since the rice had carrots already...  The mashed potatoes on the other hand were *amazing*, we should do that again on a regular basis!  The stand mixer made it easy to do as well, just boil and mix!
* 2016-05-10 [http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2014/03/vegan-cabbage-tofu-bowl-peanut-sauce.html Vegan Red Cabbage Bowl with Tofu and Peanut-Sriracha Sauce] a repeat, doubled but with tripled tofu and quad dressing, as recommended below, and [http://veganyumminess.com/creamy-vegan-mac-and-cheese/ vegan mac and cheese], 6x.  The cabbage was great, you can't usually make friends with salad, but I feel like this one might be an exception!  The mac and cheese was good, not great - creamy, and filling, but not incredible.  6x was perfect, 2 big glass dishes and 2 small ones, last bowl was 10:30 or so.  The search continues for a really awesome vegan mac and cheese...

* 2016-05-03 [http://cookieandkate.com/2015/vegan-lentil-soup-recipe/ Spiced Vegan Lentil Soup], a repeat, 4x, and [http://cookieandkate.com/2013/spicy-thai-peanut-sauce-over-roasted-sweet-potatoes-and-rice/ Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce over Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Rice] 4x.  The soup was great as always (I think this was the 3rd time we've made it?), and the roasted sweet potatoes were also excellent, A++, would make again.  Not quite as good as the other two favorite sweet potatoes dishes I think, but truly great, I'm adding it to the favorites as well.  We actually added some sweet potatoes to the soup as well, which added substance to it, and didn't ruin it (but I don't think it made it better either - the sweet element doesn't exactly fit).  Panter also made [http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Cocoa-Date-Pie Torta tat-Tamal], a Maltese dessert pie with dates and chocolate which was great (so sweet!), albeit a little runny.
