* 2017-11-28 [https://holycowvegan.net/golden-roasted-curry-mustard-potatoes/ golden roasted curry mustard potatoes] 2x and [https://www.peacefuldumpling.com/vegan-sweet-potato-leek-soup sweet potato leek soup] 3x.  Both repeats, both great, people gobbled them up.  As before, wish we could have made more potatoes, but all 4 trays were already in use...
* 2017-11-14 [https://cookieandkate.com/2014/creamy-vegan-butternut-squash-linguine-with-fried-sage/ creamy vegan butternut squash linguine with fried sage] a repeat, 2x and [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/bbq-lentil-baozi/ bbq lentil baozi], our first attempt at chinese steamed buns.  The pasta, yummi just like last time, and 2x is a little misleading I think - we did two packages of pasta, with 4 acorn squash (that we roasted to avoid having to peel), so it might actually be more like 3x.  Anyway, not as good as last time I think, but people still gobbled it up.  The baozi, we had considerable trouble with yeast, but the final product was still pretty good - the dough wasn't quite the awesomeness that really good baozi has, but it was a recognizable attempt at it, so we're pretty proud.  We learned a lot of lessons - next time, use plastic bowls to keep heat better (and make yeast more active); make the baozi much smaller; get a bamboo steamer; and, although it's obviously sacrilege, probably do actual pork baozi, just to keep our number of variables down.

* 2017-11-07 [https://minimalistbaker.com/mediterranean-baked-sweet-potatoes/ mediterranean baked sweet potatoes] a favorite repeat, 3x and [https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/bulgur-salad-with-chickpeas-roasted-peppers-and-spiced-cumin-dressing-109729 bulgur salad] 2x.  The potatoes, great as always.  The salad was also good, but not good enough to recommend making again.
