* 2016-11-08 [http://www.madhurasrecipe.com/veg-rice/Spicy-Cabbage-Rice spicy cabbage rice] 3x and [http://maayeka.com/2012/11/bengali-cabbage-and-potato-curry.html bengali cabbage and potato curry] 3x.  Both were good, not great.  We had a lot of left over food since it was a super quiet night, I think everyone stayed home to watch election results. 
* 2016-11-01 [https://opinionessoftheworld.com/2012/08/06/moroccan-spiced-tomato-chickpea-and-zucchini-stew/ moroccan spiced tomato chickpea and zucchini stew] a repeat, 5x and [http://www.shelikesfood.com/1/post/2015/08/4-ingredient-zucchini-tater-tots.html zucchini tater-tots] 4x and (of course) garlic bread.  The stew was only OK this time, not sure why it was so disappointing this time.  The tater-tots, we were very excited for them, and then they were *enormous* amounts of work, and just not that good when they were done.  It IS very important to flip them and make them crispy - this takes much longer than the quoted 30 minutes, but is worth it.  Even so they are underwhelming.  Also did a survey this week, about the two dishes - only three votes each: stew good/good/good, tots great/good/average.

* 2016-10-25 [http://ohsheglows.com/2014/02/05/my-favourite-vegan-chili-with-homemade-sour-cream/ my favorite vegan chili] a repeat, 3x and [http://www.peacefuldumpling.com/vegan-sweet-potato-leek-soup sweet potato leek soup] 3x and garlic-rosemary bread, as usual.  The chili was great, nice level of spice, but just not quite good enough to recommend doing again.  The soup is amazing, super rich and tasty, would make again.  Our new immersion blender is super awesome, did this down with a lot less trouble than the regular blender would have been.
