* 2015-07-21 [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/the-best-vegetarian-chili-in-the-world/ The Best Vegetarian Chili in the World]. Doubled, with bread from Mabels.  Easy to make, and smelled really good.  It was good, but hardly best in the world.  Although we DID forget to put the corn in, so maybe that was the finishing touch?
* 2015-07-14 [http://www.yummly.com/recipe/external/Vietnamese-Bun-Cha-With-Sticky-Spicy-Tofu-1164315 Vietnamese bun cha with sticky spicy tofu] and [http://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/2014/05/24/cucumber-avocado-rolls/ Cucumber Avocado Rolls], the vietnamese dish tripled, the cucumbers doubled.  Both are delicious, especially the vietnamese bun cha, would make again for sure!  Served a lot of people, 2 packages of vermicelli noodles is a lot!  Next time, press and dry the tofu, since it takes forever to brown while wet - I made in three batches, took more than 10 minutes each.  I chopped the mint (rather than leaving leaves), which worked great.

* 2015-07-07 [http://opinionessoftheworld.com/2012/08/06/moroccan-spiced-tomato-chickpea-and-zucchini-stew/ Moroccan Spiced Tomato, Chickpea and Zucchini Stew] (tripled) and falafel from Roberta's Fresh Cookbook (doubled). Plus bread from Mabels, rice and couscous.  Both dishes were *excellent*, would make again - fairly easy, quick, cheap and delicious.  The stew pot was not full, you could quad that recipe for a bit more.  We also simmered a lot of extra time (maybe 30 more min than recipe calls for) to improve taste/texture.  Double of falafel was LOT more than the 2*12 they claim, I think we made about 100 on four trays!
