* 2018-02-06 https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2835667/jerk-sweet-potato-and-black-bean-curry jerk sweet potato and black bean curry] a favorite, 2x and [http://foodviva.com/chinese-recipes/gobi-manchurian-recipe/ gobi manchurian] 2x, and [http://kitchenoverlord.com/dune-week-spice-filled-sandworm/ spice-stuffed sandworm bread], as well as some bread-maker bread made into garlic bread again.  The curry, awesome as usual, super delicious.  We added some cayenne to spice it up a bit.  The gobi was awesome, especially the full spice version, but it was also a multi-stage process to make, and hard to scale - 2x was just a side dish, and it's not clear how you would make more easily.  The sandworm looked AWESOME, totally worth making, and the bread was delicious too - kind of like a cinnamon bun, but less butter and more interesting spice flavor too.  Ours was fatter and shorter, and despite cooking it 10 minutes longer than recipe, we should have cooked it longer than that.  Would totally make again.   
* 2018-02-13 [https://minimalistbaker.com/vegan-roasted-red-pepper-pasta-gf/ roasted red pepper pasta] 4x a repeat, and [http://allrecipes.com/recipe/12682/apple-pie-by-grandma-ople/ apple pie] a repeat, and [https://cafedelites.com/easy-soft-chewy-chocolate-chip-cookies/ chocolate chip cookies].  The pasta, spicy and great, and easy to make.  The apple pie, amazing as usual, and it was super fun using the new peeler/corer machine (medieval torture device for apples).  The cookies, tasted great, but came out super pale, not sure what was up with that?

* 2018-02-03 Special Saturday Lunch for the Mini Repair Cafe.  I made [https://opinionessoftheworld.com/2012/08/06/moroccan-spiced-tomato-chickpea-and-zucchini-stew/ morroccan spiced tomato stew] a repeat, 5x and [http://barefootandbaking.blogspot.ca/2012/05/pizza-factory-breadsticks.html pizza factory breadsticks], also a repeat.  Both were great, would make again, and we got lots of praise from the cafe repair volunteers!  5x also didn't quite fill the pot - I feel like you could do 6x, or, I guess, actually add the amount of water they call for...

* 2018-01-30 [http://makingthymeforhealth.com/creamy-eggplant-tomato-soup/ creamy eggplant tomato soup] 4x and some bread in the bread maker using a recipe from Will (water/sugar/salt/yeast/flour, it was not fancy), and [https://www.browneyedbaker.com/cinnamon-sugar-pull-apart-bread/ apple cinnamon sugar pull apart bread].  The soup was great - not exactly as on the recipe, since I added some lemon juice and 2 tsp of garam masala.  People devoured it, but it was also a fair amount of work, so yes, would make again, but it's actual work.  The bread-maker bread was good, a kind of tough crust, but wow it was super easy - literally just dump the stuff in and hit go!  The apple bread, absolutely incredible, and so convenient to serve as well - everybody get a pull!  Need to make again all the darn time.  Also, used the fancy new apple peeler/coreer machine, which butchered the apples, but it WAS a lot easier than doing it by hand!
