* 2016-09-13 [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/roasted-red-pepper-chickpea-and-spinach-curry/ Roasted Red Pepper Chickpea and Spinach Curry] 4x and [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3238/spicy-indian-rice Spicy Indian Rice] a repeat, 6x.  Both dishes excellent, would make again!  The curry is very unusual, you bake it at the end rather than simmering it; it left the tomatoes in this super delicious flavor-explosion state!  The rice was excellent as usual - once again we ignored the flooding instruction and did it our way.

* 2016-09-06 [http://www.vegkitchen.com/recipes/lentil-and-mushroom-shepherd%E2%80%99s-pie/ Lentil and Mushroom Shepherd’s Pie] 4x plus corn on the cob! 4x made more than we thought it would - 2 large and 2 small glass dishes; we had about 1.5 small ones left over since it was another quiet night (as expected).  The shepherd's pie was good - much better with some hot sauce on top, of course :-).

* 2016-08-30 [https://recipesforsustenance.wordpress.com/2013/11/19/kale-and-kohlrabi-salad-with-lemon-garlic-dressing/] Kale and Kohlrabi salad 2x and [http://cookingontheweekends.com/2016/01/vegan-tomato-turmeric-cabbage-stew-recipe/ vegan tomato cabbage stew] 4x.  The salad used all fresh ingredients from Eric's community garden plot, and was super delicious.  The stew was also super yummi, 4x was just perfect - the cabbage took awile to stew down to fit, but in the end the pot was perfectly full.

* 2016-08-02 [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/239105/smoked-sausage-with-potatoes-sauerkraut-ale/ sausage with potatoes and sauerkraut] 4x and [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2835667/jerk-sweet-potato-and-black-bean-curry jerk sweet potato and black bean curry] a repeat, 2x, plus rice and bread.  We of course used vegan sausage for the sauerkraut recipe; which turned out delicious in the end, but we actually had to adulterate it a bit.  We added garlic powder (a mistake I think?), some dried dill, and a surprisingly large amount of salt.  Next time, I'd do some to the potatoes while they are cooking - perhaps a bit of sauce or herbs or something, I think they were the source of the bland.  The jerk dish, excellent as always, but we used too much jerk (we used an entire jar PLUS some dried powder), the dish ended up ATOMIC in spice level, but still got totally eaten up in the end - lots of our members love very high levels of spice, apparently :-)
