And the list is only good for the way I feel right now. If you ask me again
a week from now, at least five of them will probably be different. So what
are YOUR top ten favorite meals?

1. Roast Chicken (so versatile!)
2. Barbecued Pork Ribs with the typical barbecue fixin's
3. Seared Scallops with Habañero-Mango Salsa
4. Pastitsio[*]
5. Beef Sukiyaki[*]
6. Singapore Chili Crab
7. Pho
8. Pork Braised in Milk[*]
9. Ma-La (Spicy & Numbing) Beef with Vegetables and Noodles
10. Vindaloo



Interesting - but I think that a list of what you cook most often would
be more informative. It would show what you really like not only for
taste but in terms of ingredient cost and availability and preparation
effort. I'm not sure I can come up with a "top 10" but the list would
certainly include:

Grilled or broiled lamb chops
Ma po dofu
Pasta Norma (with eggplant and tomato sauce, in the summer only)

This is a rough list, not in any spewcific order:

Shrimp fajitas with guacamole, grilled onions & peppers, sour cream,
tomatoes; rice or hominy and beans on the side, and southwestern ceasar
salad

Quiche, veggies and cheese vary by mood but we like asparagus,
mushrooms, broccoli especially

Pasta with pesto or oven roasted veggies

Baked potaotes with cheese sauce and steamed broccoli or with
portobello mushrooms and bluie cheese; sauteed mushrooms; creamed
spinach; and fruit or salad

Mu-shu veggies, fried rice, marinated baked tofu, and edamame

(winter) potato-veggie-cheese soup or tomato soup

white beans with sage, cornbread, and waldorf salad

These are the dishes I cook most often because everyone loves to eat
them so they're in heavy rotation. Also they're dishes I could probably
make in my sleep!

Well, here goes.. not in any particular order

Green chicken curry (DH loves this - I just think its okay)
Prawns (shrimp) - done in the shell on the grill or "skottle"
Sole - pan-fried in butter with salad or veggies
Roast chicken and veggies
Beef Wellington
Rainbow trout - we usually bake this
Stir-fries (chicken or beef or whatever we are in the mood for)
Musaman beef curry
Stuffed mushroom caps - very versatile - you can put in whatever you
fancy at the time
Mussels - done in spicy sauce or cream and garlic..

Like you said, there are many more meals we like and it depends on the
season; also I haven't included our "braais". But that is summer stuff
and we are going into winter now. We also like most fish....

Bob

Our most favorite meals are in no particular order of course

1 pot roast
2 spaghetti with salad and bread
3 Golden Mushroom pork chops
4 fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, biscuits and corn
5 meatloaf with scalloped potatoes and green beans
6 country style pork ribs grilled with grilled corn on the cob
7 steak, either grilled or broiled
8 chile and cinnamon rolls
9 stew with blueberry muffins
10 ham and beans with corn bread

There are several of those that we don't eat in the summer and a couple we
don't eat in the winter. During the summer we tend to eat more grilled
foods with just a salad. Since I don't eat potatoes much anymore that also
has a big effect on which meals we eat.
