* 2015-12-15 [http://cookieandkate.com/2014/creamy-vegan-butternut-squash-linguine-with-fried-sage/ Creamy Butternut Squash Linguine with Fried Sage] tripled with [http://minimalistbaker.com/how-to-make-vegan-parmesan-cheese/  vegan parmesan cheese].  Tripled was *a lot*, doubled would have been enough, as of 9pm there is a little bit less than a third of it left.  It's good, in fact lots of people told me it's really good, but I actually thought it was kind of mediocre - I think I'm just not hot on pasta dishes in general.  Anyway, the fried sage thing was really interesting, and with the pepper added a couple of nice tasting accents to the pasta.  I added some halved cherry tomatoes to the recipe for color - very nice touch to an otherwise all orange meal. 
* 2015-12-12 [http://www.anaffairfromtheheart.com/2015/06/sauerkraut-chocolate-cake/ Sauerkraut Chocolate Cake] for the DIYbio Science Collider Party.  Doubled, the second one was mini-cakes :-).  One batch of icing was enough for both, as suggested in the recipe.

* 2015-12-08 [http://toriavey.com/toris-kitchen/2011/11/sweet-and-sour-eggplant/ Sweet and Sour Eggplant], a repeat from 2015-06-09.  8x this time, as suggested, and it's a pretty slow night so it's lasting well (still ~6 servings left at 9pm).  I was also more careful with the pan heat / portion / pat drying, so I actually managed to brown those eggplant chunks this time, and it tasted really good!  With brown rice this time, first time we've made that here, it adds a nice extra taste & texture.
