Meal 1:Thai Eggplant Curry w/ Sweet Potato Noodles & Cucumber Salad
• Heat the curried eggplant gently. 
• Bring salted water to a boil. Plunge the noodles and stir.  When they are change from opaque to transparent, they are ready.  Pour them into a collander to drain and then add to bowls.  Top with the curry. 
• Serve the cucumbers chilled. 
 Meal 2: Chili Verde, Sweet Corn Tamales, Escarole Salad 
• Warm the chili. 
• Heat the tamales in a microwave of in a steamer basket.  The best though is to peel off their wrapper and pan fry them in a generous amount of butter (bacon fat, oil, and or a mix is great too).  About 2-3 minutes per side, or as the side crisps and gets golden-y. 
• Dress the salad.
Notes:  Note the basil is in whole florets in the curry.  Consider Thai basil a vegetable, not a garnish.
