* 2017-04-04 [https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3238/spicy-indian-rice spicy indian rice] a repeat 3x with [http://cookieandkate.com/2013/spicy-thai-peanut-sauce-over-roasted-sweet-potatoes-and-rice/ spicy thai peanut sauce over roasted sweet potatoes] a favorite repeat, also 3x.  And Eric made [http://helloglow.co/guacamole-with-asparagus-how-to-make-your-own-tortilla-chips/ guacamole with asparagus] 3x for the Snacklab Seasonal Sidedish Showdown.  I added tomatoes and red peppers, and some extra lemon juice and water to make the blender go, but otherwise as written.  Both repeats excellent!  The guac was good, but interestingly you couldn't really taste the asparagus!  I think it was better than Roberta's dish, but honestly still not great, perhaps a B+?
* 2017-03-28 [http://vegangela.com/2013/11/19/quick-easy-indian-curry-quinoa/ Indian Curry Quinoa] 4x and [http://vegangela.com/2013/09/27/asian-cashew-quinoa-salad/ asian cashew quinoa salad] 4x and for our first week of Snacklab Seasonal Sidedish Showdown, Roberta made [http://eatthegains.com/asparagus-mushrooms-creamy-roasted-garlic-lemon-sauce/ asparagus mushrooms in creamy roaster garlic lemon sauce] and we had [http://www.ricekrispies.ca/en_CA/recipes/fudge-sandwiches-recipe.html fudge sandwiches] for dessert.  The salad was excellent, would make again.  The curry, OK.  The asparagus, also OK, I asked a few people and in general I think it's a "B", good but nothing to write home about.  We have left over food today since there is so many dishes!

* 2017-03-21 [http://ohmyveggies.com/recipe-thai-red-curry-with-asparagus-and-tofu thai red curry with asparagus and tofu] 4x and [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/mint-biryani-with-garden-peas/ mint biryani with peas] 4x.  Plus an improvised dessert from some squash.  Best dinner in awhile, would do both again!  Both the curry and the biryani were both great.  The biryani we didn't have a slow cooker so had to adapt that.  The curry, we added some fried onions and garlic, didn't feel right without that at the start.  Also, the curry, was more liquid than we liked, I think next time I would NOT add the stock/water that it called for, it's unnecessary.  The dessert: basically, roasted squash + maple syrup + cinnamon + ground cloves + nutmeg.  Blend, put in glass baking dish, sprinkle some brown sugar, and broil.  Yummi!
