Potatoes and asparagus. Store-bought chicken with grilled onions and mushrooms. Mystery vegetable. And steamed tofu with fish paste and shrimp, or something. Mystery vegetable made by V. Everything else made by M and K. And an accompanying video of the steamed tofu/fish paste dish being removed from the pot.
Pile of mystery, made by K and S. Actually it's some kind of bok choy, chicken with onions and pepper, and tomatoes. But it still looks like a pile of mystery.

Shockingly spicy curry, of the destroy-your-taste-buds variety, made by M (with help from K and V).
Difficulty: TBA Presentation: 3 out of 5 Edibility: 3.6 out of 5 (only because it was so spicy we all needed milk and ice cream to soothe our burning mouths... so spicy that K rinsed it with water and it was still so spicy it hurt... so spicy that we ate the leftovers instead of turning on the heater... otherwise I would have given this a 4)
Soup with broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes, leftover celery and chicken, pork, corn, onions, leftover rice, and liberal doses of soy sauce, parsley, salt, and pepper, made by S because she was too hungry to wait for someone else to cook. Pardon the really blurry, indoor light-tinted pictures.

Mystery Chinese vegetables and rice made by S. Chicken with onions and celery made by K. (S is always the rice-maker.) Pardon the unpretty drizzling of oyster sauce.

Chicken and onions. Some weird combination of squash/melon things and tomatoes and bean sprouts. Guacamole made from near-rotting avocados. Microwaveable pilaf. Steamed almost-rotting carrots from the Embarcadero Farmer's Market. Made by K and S. I would like to apologize for how unappetizing these photos are, but this isn't a cooking blog. It's just... a record.
