Simple and quick Thai curry made with jarred paste and canned coconut milk. It needed more flavor (especially the tofu) but we still enjoyed it. And it was very simple

Meredith's notes with annotations and links:
Cannelés: followed pink books instructions [Patisserie ( LOCAL)], subbing Bulliet bourbon for the brandy. Made batter Saturday, and let it rest until Tuesday afternoon. Followed Eat Little Bird's instructions ( LOCAL) for baking in silicone which included heating the molds for 4-5 min at 430°F. Then pour the batter into hot molds and cook for 15 min. Then lowered to 375 for 1hr 12 min.

Meredith made a Bakewell Tart using Mary Berry's Recipe (LOCAL) but with Pâte Sablée from The Kitchn ( LOCAL). The biggest change to the recipe was to use Heidi's Raspberry Lavender Jam from a local place. Also, she used red food coloring which really worked just fine!
She's still experimenting with the crust but may try Mary's next time.
We really liked it overall and it was pretty well received!

Pretty typical lemon-garlic shrimp except I forgot all seasonings. I think I missed the crushed red pepper the most (shrimp are pretty salty on their own)

Meredith made Karniyarik using some of the notes from the first time. She used two serranos in the mix and also skipped tomato paste (and added extra tomatoes). It was really good. The meat needed a bit of salt but otherwise, this was an interesting and veggie-filled meal. (I sautéed spinach + kale mix with roasted garlic on the side).

Meredith threw this together and it was pretty good. It was just some Trader Joes orecchiette pasta with asparagus and store-bought meatballs (see picture below). She also topped it with some cheese and crushed red pepper.
Pretty simple and tasty meal!

Meredith made Fattoush following the recipe. The biggest changes were that she forgot the sumac and we served naan (instead of pita) and on the side. Plus, we used rotisserie chicken breast to give it protein
It was really good as usual. Lots of flavors and felt very healthy

Along with the meatball marsala, I prepped Koefta meatballs. I used dried instead of fresh onions but otherwise followed the recipe. Last time I used the mixer which was super easy but I didn't like the springiness. This time, I tried something different. I put all of the ingredients in a bowl and used a spatula with something of a cutting and folding motion to bring it all together. That also worked well (though not as easy as the mixer) but left it with a better texture. I also added a tiny bit of oil to keep it more moist.
We threw together toppings. Cut up cucumbers and a za'tar-yogurt dip. Served on "street taco" tortillas. The real key was sriracha that gave it a lot of flavors.
