* 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! | * 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.

* 2018-05-08 [https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/165190/spicy-vegan-potato-curry/ spicy vegan potato curry] 2x (with extra veggies) and [https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/lemon-brown-rice-garlic-and-thyme lemon brown rice] 3x plus [https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2016/11/29/chocolate-chip-marshmallow-cookies/ chocolate chip marshmallow cookies] and bread from the bread maker. The curry was spicy for sure, but a bit bland until we added extra cumin, some garam masala and some lemon juice to brighten it up. The cookies, somehow failed to set timer, when we got them out, the marshmallows had actually melted into the dough, I think saving the cookies from burning, but also disappointing us! Delicious anyway. The rice, subtle but excellent, comboed well. | * 2018-05-08 [https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/165190/spicy-vegan-potato-curry/ spicy vegan potato curry] 2x (with extra veggies) and [https://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/lemon-brown-rice-garlic-and-thyme lemon brown rice] 3x plus [https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2016/11/29/chocolate-chip-marshmallow-cookies/ chocolate chip marshmallow cookies] and bread from the bread maker.
