* 2014-12-23 [http://ohsheglows.com/2014/02/05/my-favourite-vegan-chili-with-homemade-sour-cream/ My Favorite Vegan Chili] AND [http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetables-recipes/amazing-roast-veg/ Amazing Roast Veg], both great!  Doubled the chili, had trouble finding chili powder.  Took forever to peel the beets!

Also, gingerbread millenium falcon with [http://easteuropeanfood.about.com/od/crossculturaldesserts/r/gingerbread.htm Structural Gingerbread] and [http://www.canadianliving.com/food/royal_icing_for_gingerbread_party_houses.php Royal Icing], not edible, but awesome :-)
* 2014-12-16 [http://www.theppk.com/2013/09/everyday-pad-thai/ Vegan Pad Thai] Tripled.  Very good.  Cooked the tofu and broccoli in small batches. Two packages of noodles was supposed to be too much but worked out great.  Cut the soy-sauce by 1/3, was fine.  Used 4 scoops of "korean paste" instead of 6 of "mellow white miso".  Juiced 8 limes, needed more!

* 2014-12-09 [http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Aloo-Matar/Detail.aspx?evt19=1 Aloo Matar] Quadrupled.  Pretty good, would make again.  Tried to use the new wok with wok ring, but not enough heat - ultimately had to do the onions in the frying pan and the mix in a large pot, as usual.  The potatoes, even though we pre-cooked them in the microwave, ended up undercooked - a little firm, but still good.  Would pre-cook them a little more next time (7 min x 2 instead of 5 min x2?, maybe with stirring half-way through).  Halved the paprika, as recommended in a comment - great idea, still fairly spicy!
