* 2017-02-28 [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/roasted-red-pepper-chickpea-and-spinach-curry/ roasted red pepper chickpea and spinach curry] 4x and [http://www.cearaskitchen.com/indian-saffron-yellow-rice-pilaf-vegan-glutenfree/ indian yellow rice pilaf] 4x (without the saffron). Both repeats, both awesome, very tasty. And panters [https://knowledge.hacklab.to/wiki/Date_squares date squares] for dessert - totally amazing, we should make these again, best dessert in a long time! We slightly burned the rice. We also tried for aquafaba-based (chickpea water) meringues again, but they didn't turn out so well - edible but not incredible. Apparently recipes vary a LOT for that stuff, and it really matter! | |||

The gratin was great - a little light on the leek (would make twice as many leeks for same scale next time), but super tasty - also, we used about 4x the breadcrumbs it calls for as well, anyway, would make again, not as much work as you'd think, and turned out well. The soup: worst thing I have ever made at hacklab. Had a very nasty bitter taste, which we attempted to fix using olive oil, sugar and salt (all three of which helped), but it wasn't sufficient to get it to even "OK", it was still basically inedible IMO - we ended up tossing 2/3 of it, though a few people did say they liked it. Not sure what the problem was, really, but perhaps subbing tofu for cream isn't a great idea? Or maybe we just got unlucky with the celery, which can sometimes be pretty bitter? The cookies, excellent, but crazy fattening. Gone in 60 seconds :-). But, lots of left over peanut butter cream, about 2x as much as a recipe actually needs - and I'm pretty sure that Panter actually doubled the cookie recipe itself, so that means the peanut butter is actually 4x what you need, which is crazy... 2 cups DID seem like a lot, and it was... | * 2017-02-21 [http://www.vegetariantimes.com/recipe/baked-leek-and-sweet-potato-gratin baked leek and sweet potato gratin] doubled and [http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-rutabaga-chipotle-soup-100959 rutabaga chipotle soup] doubled and [http://www.saucygirlskitchen.com/2011/04/03/chocolate-meringue-cookies-with-peanut-butter-cream-centers/ Chocolate Meringue Cookies with Peanut Butter Cream Centers].

* two missed weeks, Eric was sick. Panter and Roberta did made something in the second week, I think it was a curry? I don't think anything was made in the first week. | * two missed weeks, Eric was sick. Panter and Roberta did made something in the second week, I think it was a curry?
