* 2016-06-01 [http://yupitsvegan.com/2015/04/25/general-tsos-chickpeas/] a repeat, 4x and a curry by Pari, both with [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/garlic-cilantro-lime-rice-recipe.html garlic cilantro line rice] 2x, and for dessert: [http://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/2015/07/05/vegan-meringue-cookies/ Vegan Meringue Cookies]. The General Tso, awesome as usual. Pari's curry (with potatoes, onions, tomatoes, cilantro and coconut milk) was great too. The lime rice, *great*, but also quite subtle - was a little overpowered by the two dishes tonight, I would do it again, but pair it with something a little less intense, like maybe a thai curry or something. The dessert, using "aquafaba" (bean water, literally the water from a can of chickpeas, usually wasted!) was incredible!!! Going to make again for sure. I can't believe how well it worked, and how easy it was too with the stand mixer :-) | * 2016-06-01 [http://yupitsvegan.com/2015/04/25/general-tsos-chickpeas/ General Tso's Chickpeas] a repeat, 4x and a curry by Pari, both with [http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/garlic-cilantro-lime-rice-recipe.html garlic cilantro line rice] 2x, and for dessert: [http://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/2015/07/05/vegan-meringue-cookies/ Vegan Meringue Cookies].

* 2016-05-24 [http://www.yummly.com/recipe/external/New-Potato-Rendang-_-Green-Beans-514450 Potato Rendang with Green Beans] a repeat, 8x, [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/87590/japanese-style-sesame-green-beans/ Japanese-Style Sesame Green Beans] 4x and 6 cups of carrot rice (9 carrots). The rendang is great, would make again; it's a repeat from the very bottom with no comments so I wasn't sure. The beans are incredible, and so simple too, totally make them again! The carrot rice is an improv based on last weeks - lots of people told me it was good but they didn't like the onions in it, so no onions this time! We also made a rosemary lemonade by boiling some (dried) rosemary and squeezing all the zested lemons & limes from the rendang, it was really excellent as well! | * 2016-05-24 [http://www.yummly.com/recipe/external/New-Potato-Rendang-_-Green-Beans-514450 Potato Rendang with Green Beans] a repeat, 8x, [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/87590/japanese-style-sesame-green-beans/ Japanese-Style Sesame Green Beans] 4x and 6 cups of carrot rice (9 carrots).

* 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! | * 2016-05-17 [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.
