Pasta e Fagioli

The warning in the recipe is right, this does not hold well, for the purpose of being a soup.  However, it basically turns into a rice dish the next day, which is perfectly fine.  Yes it felt as if the rice was a bit overdone, but for leftovers, can you expect anything else?  Good dish and a nice use of the parmesan rind (which I noticed I had over a pound of).

Creamy Pasta with Smoked Bacon and Peas

So this clearly needs to have some further thought put in it.  It says 10 slices of smoked bacon of pancetta.  Here's the problem, not all slices are the same.  Are they paper thin, like you'd get on a add bacon request at most places?  I stopped at 5 because I thought it was getting a bit much (almost an entire pound of thick cut bacon).  And when I say, that might be too much bacon, it's probably too much.

Still turned out pretty good.  Maybe more peas?

Spicy Carrot Sandwiches

I can almost do this without even glancing at the recipe...  I almost forgot the caraway seeds, but I knew something was missing, so I looked.  Good things.

Sriracha chicken and Edamame Sandwiches (I'm only vaguely following this)

Delayed!

Buttermilk Pancakes

The whole point of this was to sample the Great River Maple bourbon barrel aged syrup.  I don't think I used enough (was afraid of using to much), but you could definitely smell an extra vanilla smell straight off.  I'm going to wait to make pancakes again before a decision is rendered, but preliminarily, it was pretty good.
