* 2015-06-09 [http://toriavey.com/toris-kitchen/2011/11/sweet-and-sour-eggplant/ Sweet and Sour Eggplant], 6x with 6 cups rice, and we should have made more!  It was great, but we did a lot of alteration, including adding some caramelized onions (prepared while the eggplant was sweating, one gigantic spanish onion), button mushrooms, and green peppers.  Plus oregano, since I thought it needed some herbs.  Due do the scale we made it (and our small-ish pots and minimal heat), we really weren't able to brown the eggplant cubes, it took much longer and we basically cooked it, but it was still delicious.
* 2015-06-02 repeat of [http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1397/spiced-vegetable-biryani Spiced Vegetable Biryani], again without tinfoil.  Also left over Sweet Potato and Black Bean Curry from Eric's houseboat adventure.  Plus watermelon.  A repeat night, it's super delicious!

* 2015-05-26 Pari's Vegan Shepherds Pie, and [http://www.feastie.com/recipe/health-happiness/spicy-mushroom-tacos Spicy Mushroom Tacos], tacos tripled, shepherds pie doubled. The pie recipe came out of a "Vegan Cooking for Carnivores" book. Both owe thanks to a donation of 5 lbs of specialty mushrooms (king oyster, oyster and shiitake) by Eric's dad (these would otherwise have been really unaffordable). The tacos were *awesome*, best thing we've made since the jerk sweet potato dish in march. Note the taco pictures show orange bell peppers, but the recipe doesn't have them - we added them anyway, in with the mushroom saute at the end. The guac also ended up being more of a salsa since the only avocados we could find were super hard, still great and totally went well with the mushroom bit. The Shepherds pie was also good, and far more plentiful as well, which is good, everything got eaten... probably can't ever make either again since the mushrooms would be way too expensive, but it was a great meal while it lasted :-)
