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.

Snow peas with bean sprouts and tomatoes. Catfish with tomatoes. Made by K and S (with S sort of MIA because she was on the phone). K was quite enthusiastic with the parsley.
Difficulty: 2.7 out of 5 Presentation: 3.3 out of 5 Edibility: 3 out of 5 (Just to reiterate, K was very enthusiastic with the parsley. And the catfish was chewy.)
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.
