* 2018-05-29 [https://knowledge.hacklab.to/w/images/f/fb/Malka_Dal_%28Red_Lentil_Curry%29_-_Nehu%27s_Kitchen.pdf malka dal red lentil curry] a repeat 4x and [https://mayihavethatrecipe.com/a-rosh-hashana-family-favorite-sweet-basmati-rice-with-carrots-raisins/ rosh hashana carrot raisin rice] 3x.  The dal once again impressed, would make again for sure, very tasty.  It was a bit too liquid-y this time compared to what I like, and Pari added some extra spices at the end (including cloves and more oil-burst-coriander seeds), but I think that was because I didn't let them burst enough at the beginning to get the full taste in.  The rice was a bit ordinary - there are better carrot-rice recipes below.
* 2018-05-22 [https://thevietvegan.com/vegan-spicy-lemongrass-noodle-soup/ spicy lemongrass noodle soup] 8x and [https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/10264/oatmeal-raisin-cookies-i/ oatmeal raisin cookies] 2x.  It's hard to scale up a recipe for 2 people to one for 20!  Ended up putting too much pasta in (they didn't have glass noodles, so I used vermicelli; put in about 1.5 packages, one would have been sufficient).  It was still really great dish though, lots of people asked for the recipe!  I think it was the lemongrass that was the magic ingredient.  Just that alone on the pot at the beginning was magic.  I also used a LOT of extra veggies compared to the recipe.  The marinated tofu, I stirred right in rather than have it on top, since they didn't have firm at the store and mine was falling apart anyway.  But I think it was also a key part of the taste. Cookies, really great actually, despite having like 60, they were almost all gone before I left.

* 2018-05-15 [http://veganyumminess.com/creamy-vegan-mac-and-cheese/ creamy vegan mac and cheese] 3x and [https://www.foodiewithfamily.com/simple-garlicky-green-bean-stir-fry/ garlicky green bean stirfry] 2x, plus [http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/joes-molten-marshmallow-chocolate-cakes molten marshmallow chocolate cakes] 2x for dessert.  The mac and cheese recipe, despite coming recommended from noisebridge, was well below average - comfort food, yes, but very bland.  I added extra nutritional yeast, and extra spices, and got it to "OK" but certainly never making it again.  The beans, simple and wonderful.  The dessert, positively diabolical, it was like the richest, most sinful super huge brownie I've ever eaten.  Nobody went back for a second one, but only because ONE was already far far too much!
