Turmeric Roasted Chicken with Farro from the November 2017 Cooking Light. The Brussels sprouts are great! The Farro was a bit bland. And the chicken was flavorful but (as is so often true with boneless skinless breast) dry—would have been so much better with chicken thighs! Overall, we give this a 3, would have been a 4 with skinless chicken thighs.

Soup of Quail Egg Huevos Rancheros from John Sedlar's Modern Southwest Cuisine. Definitely a riff--I used chicken eggs, could not bring myself to strain the soup (lots of good vegetables), so it was not nearly as refined in appearance as the original. The flavors were good, it gets a 4.

Garlicky New York Strip Steak, and Garlic Caper Roasted Mushrooms, both from the November/December 2017 Cooking Light. I probably did not remove enough of the marinade from the steak--we give it a 3 (too garlicky). The mushrooms get a 4.

The Compadre Cocktail from webtender.com. Another tasty 4.
