The Baker's Dozen Challenge

Choose a "Baker's Dozen" of basic ingredients, and using only those, prepare 100 entrees that are simple, varied, and delicious. Standardize your recipes so they are reproducible ("add a pinch of salt and a mouthful of water" won't do it) and then attractively photograph the stages!

The general idea is to use original recipes (or at any rate personalized, modified recipes) that are reasonably easy to prepare, healthy, and all made primarily from your list of 13 ingredients - "A Baker's Dozen". A broader theme is living a simple, local, modest, and thoroughly satisfying life which is distinctively native to your culture, yet kind to the environment. (So, for this project local free-range chicken is better than Endangered Species Sushi. For our purposes.) Remember to measure, write down the recipes, and then offer them to everyone for a second opinion.

Gosh. 13 sounds like a lot, but limiting myself to 13 ingredients turns out to be difficult! Vegan seems not in the spirit of the thing; my pioneering great-grandparents wouldn't have recognized such food. I finally got the list together, with a bit of fudging - greens are greens, right? Any kind, so long as the color is green... beans are beans ... onions and garlic both give you bad breath so we'll count them as one ... if it comes from milk, it must be milk. Fish is good for you, I hear (so maybe we can have the fish for dessert?) Seasonings don't have calories so seasonings are not food! And so forth. Anyway, here's my list:
