our second blue apron box!

hi guys! last week came and went and i didn't get around to posting this up here......sorry! anyway, this box was actually really good, better than expectations! and we can't wait to make these again! ~Lin-chan ^.~

for those interested, i added the meals we received into my recipes folder.
links to previous hello fresh posts (first, second), and previous blue apron post

dinner 1: steak tacos & mole verde
preparation: i made this. this was pretty simple to make and the instructions were pretty straightforward.
thoughts: this was teh amazingz. we are making this again. pretty sad that the avocado they gave us was not ripe at all when we got the box (probably could have used a few more days), but we already had some and it worked out.

dinner 2: meyer lemon-glazed catfish
preparation: i made this. i think the only issue i had with this was that i didn't pay as close attention while making the lemon syrup stuff and a lot of the liquid evaporated and we lost some! not sure why the instructions said to put flour on one side of the fish...i put it on both without reading it apparently, but it still turned out great!!
thoughts: this was really great too, and we're definitely making this again as well. only real complaint about this one is that i didn't shred the collards enough to mix as nicely with the freekeh (the rice stuffs). otherwise, it was really nice and light and the lemons and syrup were amazing!

dinner 3: spicy orange chicken wings
preparation: teh paul made this. the instructions were stupid but some of the sauce on the wings burned in the oven. it didn't tell you to lower the heat in the oven and sauce at 475 burns pretty fast, faster than 6-8 minutes!!
thoughts: aside from the charred bits, it was really good. the shiitake rice was kinda meh, but the chicken was pretty tasty.
