* 2017-04-11 [http://www.food.com/recipe/wonderful-curried-sweet-potato-soup-161324 curried sweet potato soup] 4x and an asparagus pasta dish by Sonya, and [http://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2016/dec/08/begin-baking-season-batch-classic-cookies/?f=threerivers peanut butter cookies].  The soup was great, just the right hint of spice, super delicious, would make again.  I made the [http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/korma-curry-paste/49c47697-1fc4-4e41-9746-88435b1ed93c curry paste] myself (1/3 of that recipe).  Sonya's asparagus dish was improvised from about 3 different recipes, but it was delicious, she's in the lead for the Snacklab Seasonal Sidedish Showdown.  The cookies, made 6 dozen! and were good. 
* 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+?
