* 2018-03-27 [https://jessicainthekitchen.com/thai-green-curry-vegan-gluten-free/ thai green curry] 6x a repeat and [https://damndelicious.net/2014/06/25/pineapple-fried-rice/ pineapple fried rice] 1.33x.  The curry, spicy and great as usual.  6x was totally the right call - just fits, after things boil down, though with that much veggie there sure is a LOT of chopping!  The rice also delicious, but we think the extra freezer frost on the frozen peas/etc added moisture, which resulted in it being a bit mushier.  I liked it, but other people apparently think it should have been crisper / more "fried". 
* 2018-03-06 [http://www.ilovevegan.com/cheesy-vegan-potato-broccoli-casserole/ cheesy vegan potato broccoli casserole] 4x and [https://lucysfriendlyfoods.com/2013/06/27/doughnuts/ vegan donuts] 2x.  Both excellent, would totally make the casserole again, a bit of work but not as bad as you'd think with the food processor to do all the slicing.  The donuts were actually easy to make - just get the oil to the right temp.  Rolling in the sugar was a bit tricky, injecting the jam surprisingly easy.  [https://www.thebalance.com/how-to-make-castor-sugar-substitute-4137095 Caster sugar] was just a few dozen seconds in the blender.
