* 2019-01-01 [https://www.thestar.com/life/food_wine/2015/04/09/rastafarian-restaurant-in-scarborough-offers-vegan-meals-from-scratch.html carrot and ginger rice] a repeat 3x and [http://www.wifemamafoodie.com/simple-vegetable-dumplings/ simple vegetable dumplings] 2x and more dough from [http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/bbq-lentil-baozi/ baozi] recipe from last time. The mushroom dumpling filling was actually great, way better than the lentil thing from last time. The rice, good, but wasn't a great combo with the dumplings, I think some kind of green veggies would have been better. Dumplings are fun, but also so much work, it was good it was a quiet week (new years day!). | |||
* 2018-12-18 two old standby's this week: [https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/parkers-split-pea-soup-recipe-1916855 parkers split pea soup] 3x and [https://holycowvegan.net/golden-roasted-curry-mustard-potatoes/ golden roasted curry mustard potatoes] 2x. Both were great again; the soup, we left it chunky this time instead of immersion blending it. The potatoes, larger chunks than usual, which was interesting - as always, potatoes totally went quickly, I wish we could do more, but this really does fill the oven... | * 2018-12-18 two old standby's this week: [https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/parkers-split-pea-soup-recipe-1916855 parkers split pea soup] 3x and [https://holycowvegan.net/golden-roasted-curry-mustard-potatoes/ golden roasted curry mustard potatoes] 2x.

* 2018-12-11 [https://nirvanacakery.com/vegan-borscht/ best vegan borscht] tripled with the cashew sour cream from [https://www.mydarlingvegan.com/raw-vegan-tacos/ raw vegan tacos] doubled, and [https://addapinch.com/the-best-chocolate-cake-recipe-ever/ chocolate cake] with [https://addapinch.com/perfect-chocolate-buttercream-frosting-recipe/ buttercream frosting] 2/3rds. The borscht, mediocre, we did extensive modifications and then people loved it, but I still feel like it doesn't measure up to our regular borscht recipe. Also triple actually made almost *two* pots worth, so I think the recipe's "6" is rather conservative, it would serve more like 10. Mods: lime juice, dried parsley, tons of salt (way more than you'd think would be required, and I still felt like it was short), and finally, to try to deal with the thin taste, some garam masala, which did fill it in nicely. The cashew sour cream was AWESOME, would make that again for sure. And the cake, gone super fast as expected, very moist, and making 2/3 of the icing was the right call, it had about the perfect amount of icing (my opinion, others disagreed, but it's my birthday!). | * 2018-12-11 [https://nirvanacakery.com/vegan-borscht/ best vegan borscht] tripled with the cashew sour cream from [https://www.mydarlingvegan.com/raw-vegan-tacos/ raw vegan tacos] doubled, and [https://addapinch.com/the-best-chocolate-cake-recipe-ever/ chocolate cake] with [https://addapinch.com/perfect-chocolate-buttercream-frosting-recipe/ buttercream frosting] 2/3rds.
