= Dinner History =
* 2019-10-08 [https://cookieandkate.com/creamy-vegan-butternut-squash-linguine-with-fried-sage/ butternet squash linguine] 2x a favorite repeat, this time without the fried sage, since the store doesn't sell sage.  Added some roasted tomatoes as recommended.  It was great as usual! Plus garlic rosemary bread.
* 2019-09-10 [https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2009/02/dinner-tonight-vegetarian-borscht-recipe.html borscht] 3x a repeat with cumin bread from the bread machine.  The soup was awesome, as usual, and the cumin bread, divine.
* 2019-09-03 [https://cookieandkate.com/vegetarian-chili-recipe/ vegetarian chili] 2x and bread.  It was actually really excellent, would make again.  We used real tomatoes (as opposed to canned), plus a jar of strained tomatoes, but otherwise exactly as written.
* 2019-08-27 [https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/parkers-split-pea-soup-recipe-1916855 parkers split pea soup] 2x a favorite repeat, it was amazingly delicious as usual.  Plus bread from the farmers market that I made into double garlic bread and fresh bread from the bread maker - we actually had left over bread for the first time ever!
* 2019-08-20 [https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/gazpacho-recipe-1941264 gazpacho] 2x a favorite repeat.  Amazingly good (as always), it seems especially sharp this time, maybe the onions were a bit too big? 
* 2019-08-13 [https://cookieandkate.com/best-lentil-soup-recipe/ spicy lentil soup] 2x a favorite repeat. Plus bread. Somehow it wasn't quite as good this time as I remember, not sure what was different?  I used fresh (good smelling) tomatoes too.  Anyway still good, just not incredible this time...
* 2019-08-06 [https://cookieandkate.com/vegan-mac-and-cheese-recipe/ vegan mac and cheese] 3x.  It's mediocre, so the quest for an actually awesome vegan mac and cheese continues... Also, Will brought in some experimental birthday cake, which was heavy but still tasty, we gave him some suggestions on how to make it better.
* 2019-07-31 [https://onlyglutenfreerecipes.com/recipe-items/vegan-vichyssoise-soup-recipe/ vichyssoise soup] 3x plus bread from the farmers market.  Didn't get it completely cold before serving, but it was delicious.  I did have to adulterate a bit to add flavor - added garlic powder and lots of nutritional yeast flakes, as well as additional salt. 
* 2019-07-24 [https://thevegan8.com/vegan-red-pepper-curry-bowl/ vegan red pepper curry bowl] 3x.  Unique and good tasting! Even 3x didn't make very much though, only fed about 8 people - it'd be hard to scale up further though since the oven already had all four trays... and pepper's are expensive!
* 2019-07-09 [https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/wonderful-curried-sweet-potato-soup-161324 currie sweet potato soup] 4x with 1/3 [https://www.taste.com.au/recipes/korma-curry-paste/49c47697-1fc4-4e41-9746-88435b1ed93c korma paste] as below.  And some awesome bred from the Trinity Bellwoods Farmers Market.  Great as usual.
* 2019-07-02 [https://minimalistbaker.com/mediterranean-baked-sweet-potatoes/ mediterranean baked sweet potatoes] an old favorite, 2x.  Plus watermelon and bread in the bread maker. First actual open house at the new space, with members of the public coming by and getting tours!  The potatoes were amazing, as usual for this recipe.  And it feels nice to be fully back in action, though we still have an enormous amount of setup to do!
* 2019-06-26 [https://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/cold-noodle-bowl-with-sriracha-peanut-crumble/ cold noodle bowl with sriracha peanut sauce] 2x and [https://www.ilovevegan.com/vegan-raspberry-crumble-bars/ vegan raspberry crumble bars] also double and fresh squeezed lemonaide.  Very far off recipe for the noodle bowl - the store does not stock hoisin sauce, or snap peas, or sesame oil, or peanuts (only in shell).  So I subbed a lot, but it worked out, tasted great.  The crumble bars also great, but it was a lot of work!  Lemonaide wonderful, would make on a hot day again for sure.
* 2019-06-18 [https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/gazpacho-recipe-1941264 gazpacho] a repeat 2x and [https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/10549/best-brownies/?clickId=right%20rail0&internalSource=rr_feed_recipe_sb&referringId=10813%20referringContentType%3Drecipe brownies].  The gazpacho was awesome, as always.  The brownies, "healthy" since I had to use whole wheat flour.  Lol.
* 2019-06-11 [https://jessicainthekitchen.com/thai-green-curry-vegan-gluten-free/ thai green curry] 3x with 3 cups of plain brown rice.  Accidentally shredded the carrots instead of slicing them, as a result it was more sweet and carrot-y, but still good - a bit bland really, maybe more curry paste next time...
* 2019-06-04 [https://cookieandkate.com/roasted-butternut-squash-soup/ butternut squash soup] 2x, because the super market didn't have any split peas! I wanted to start with the same recipe as we ended :-). It was good.
* 2019-02-12 [https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/parkers-split-pea-soup-recipe-1916855 split pea soup] 2x, a repeat. Last dinner before the move to hacklab 3.0, it was good as usual.  
* 2019-02-12 [https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/parkers-split-pea-soup-recipe-1916855 split pea soup] 2x, a repeat. Last dinner before the move to hacklab 3.0, it was good as usual.  
* 2019-02-05 [https://minimalistbaker.com/easy-vegan-fried-rice/ easy vegan fried rice] 4x and [https://cookieandkate.com/2013/spicy-thai-peanut-sauce-over-roasted-sweet-potatoes-and-rice/ spice thai peanut sauce over roasted sweet potatoes] favorite repeat, 6x.  The sweet potatoes awesome as usual, so delicious!  The rice, also quite good, though I made the tofu my way, so not sure about their way... but fried rice takes so much longer than any other kind of rice, it's essentially 3x the work...
