* 2016-03-16 [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2835667/jerk-sweet-potato-and-black-bean-curry Jerk Sweet Potato and Black Bean Curry], a repeat, doubled.  Amazing as always, but I think our Jerk spice is getting a bit old - still lots of flavor, but no kick.  Should buy some new stuff next time I make this. Also, for dessert, [http://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/banana-bread-eggless-vegan-recipe/ vegan banana bread], 1.5x, but I think I added too much oil and too little flour in my informal 1.5x-ing, it ended up dense and kind of pudding like even after extra 15 minutes in oven...

The juice of one lemon was also added, and really balanced the sweetness of the yams with the earthy jerk spice mix well.

* 2016-03-11 For Pie Day / 100 member party: [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/12682/apple-pie-by-grandma-ople/ Apply Pie by Grandma Ople], [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/12077/chocolate-chip-pie-i/?internalSource=recipe%20hub&referringId=791&referringContentType=recipe%20hub Chocolate Chip Pie I] and [https://www.hersheys.com/recipes/en_US/recipes/6798/hersheys-gone-to-heaven-chocolate-pie.html Hershies Gone to Heaven Chocolate Pie].  The apple pie was simple and incredible, just like the 6800 reviews(!) claimed. I think I would try adding cinnamon/nutmeg next time.  The two chocolate pies were sweet as expected but unexceptional.

* 2016-03-08 [http://cookieandkate.com/2014/spicy-roasted-ratatouille-with-spaghetti/ spicy roasted ratatouille] doubled, a repeat from a few months ago, plus garlic bread. Wasn't as good this time, I think last time we used more tomatoes and added some tomatoe paste as well, it was a bit more watery this time.  Also, I learned that apparently you don't have to peal acorn squash, which is awesome since it's so much work and so wasteful to do so.  Eats fine, though it does change the taste in a slightly negative way, I think.  Finally, double wasn't nearly enough tonight - could have done quadruple, though it would not have all fit in the pot.  Food was totally gone at like 8pm, even though we served late at 7:30!
