* 2020-02-18 [https://www.cilantroandcitronella.com/vegan-japanese-curry/ vegan japanese curry] 4x with [https://www.thestar.com/life/food_wine/2015/04/09/rastafarian-restaurant-in-scarborough-offers-vegan-meals-from-scratch.html carrot and ginger rice] 2x and hackbread with spices.  Plus some vegan carrot cake for desert. The rice was good but interestingly more plain that I remember. The curry was great, very unusual making it, but lots of flavor at the end, the cayenne pepper really gives it a nice kick.  The carrot cake was AMAZING.

Soup ended up being too salty as I lost track of the amount of salt. As for the cake, add more (1/4 teaspoon?) vinegar, frosting also had an unusual taste

* 2020-02-11 [https://knowledge.hacklab.to/w/images/4/42/DanDanNoodles.JPG Traditional Dan Dan Noodles] from a Sichuan cookbook. Plus hackbread and vegan brownies. We added some extra veggies to the pasta, and of course subbed in Tempeh for pork (to make it vegan - original inspiration was this [https://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/vegan-and-gluten-free-tempeh-meatballs/ tempeh meatball recipe] from the wishlist). It was good - not as spicy as you might expect, but the flavor grows on you over time, my opinion of the dish was a lot higher at the end than in the first few bites. Frustratingly the recipe seems to be somewhat broken - half of the ingredients, it doesn't tell you what to do with them, so we just added them to the pasta. The brownies were very googey, but tasted great otherwise.

Then forgot the rice. Also added some lemon juice at the end, and of course didn't use a slow cooker. The potatoes, great as always, super yummi, we should consider making them a favorite.  The cake, by ATrain, quite good!
