* 2018-11-20 [https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/butternut-squash-and-roasted-red-pepper-soup-131936 butternut squash and roasted red pepper soup] a repeat, 4x, with [http://barefootandbaking.blogspot.com/2012/05/pizza-factory-breadsticks.html pizza factory breadsticks] aka twisty garlic bread, a repeat.  Both excellent.  The soup, I used 14 small gala apples, since they were on sale, and the soup was super bright, people really liked it. We also added fresh ground pepper at the end, a master stroke.  The twisty bread delicious as always - just the right amount of crunch!
* 2018-11-13 [http://www.layersofhappiness.com/the-best-vegetable-curry-ever/ the best vegetable curry ever] a repeat 2x, with white rice.  Dinner by Rob.  I heard it was good.
* 2018-11-06 [https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/vegetables-recipes/vietnamese-bun-cha-with-sticky-spicy-tofu/#UpMCJlIyGwHCb4rD.97?utm_campaign=yummly&utm_medium=yummly&utm_source=yummly vietnamese bun cha] a favorite, 3x, [https://omnivorescookbook.com/five-spice-garlic-roasted-potatoes/ five spice garlic roasted potatoes] 4x and [https://kalynskitchen.com/recipe-for-garlicky-green-beans-stir/ garlicky green beans] 2x.  The bun cha, awesome as usual, would make again - the tofu is a lot of work, and people have to assemble themselves at the end, but it's great.  Next time, DON'T mix the tofu into the pasta myself, let people do that too - it gets a little lost, which is super sad.  The potatoes, mediocre, there are way better roasted potato recipes.  The beans, great, we used hoisin sauce (instead of oyster) and it's flavor was perfect!  Would make again, too bad good beans are so hard to find and so expensive...

* 2018-10-28 For Hackloween: [http://www.theinventivevegetarian.com/pumpkin-mac-and-cheese/ pumpkin mac and cheese] non-vegan, 2x a repeat and [http://hellyeahitsvegan.com/vegan-pumpkin-bread/ pumpkin bread] a repeat and [https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/13477/double-layer-pumpkin-cheesecake/ pumpkin cheesecake] a repeat and [https://skinnyms.com/pumpkin-spice-smoothie/ pumpkin smoothie].  The mac and cheese, actually does taste a bit better with real cheese, though the difference isn't huge, good overall.  The bread, nice, but I think maybe my standards for bread are way up since the last time we made it, since I thought it was just good this time.  The cheesecake, amazing again, would make again for sure.  The smoothies also delicious, and really the only way to use that much puree - I doubled the pumpkin and halved the almond milk, tastes the same and is cheaper.  Also, double the spices ;-)
