* 2020-02-11 [https://knowledge.hacklab.to/w/images/4/42/DanDanNoodles.JPG Traditional Dan Dan Noodles] from a Sichuan cookbook. Plus hackbread and vegan brownies. We added some extra veggies to the pasta, and of course subbed in Tempeh for pork (to make it vegan). It was good - not as spicy as you might expect, but the flavor grows on you over time, my opinion of the dish was a lot higher at the end than in the first few bites. Frustratingly the recipe seems to be somewhat broken - half of the ingredients, it doesn't tell you what to do with them, so we just added them to the pasta. The brownies were very googey, but tasted great otherwise.
* 2020 March, April, May, June - open house cancelled due to covid-19 shutdown.  Stay safe, stay healthy.
* 2020-02-29 [https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Thai-Eggplant-Mushroom-Curry-1524819 Thai eggplant mushroom curry] 4x. Used limes instead of lemon and dried shiitake mushrooms which were soaked in cold water for at least 1 hour. Also used a mixture of coconut cream and powdered coconut milk with the mushroom water in place of the coconut milk. [https://www.womanscribbles.net/swedish-cardamom-buns/ Cardamom buns] for dessert

Soup ended up being too salty as I lost track of the amount of salt. As for the cake, add more (1/4 teaspoon?) vinegar, frosting also had an unusual taste

The rice was good but interestingly more plain that I remember. The curry was great, very unusual making it, but lots of flavor at the end, the cayenne pepper really gives it a nice kick.  The carrot cake was AMAZING.

Then forgot the rice. Also added some lemon juice at the end, and of course didn't use a slow cooker. The potatoes, great as always, super yummi, we should consider making them a favorite.  The cake, by ATrain, quite good!
