Being as though, its just me, I rarely make anything elaborate.

Some of my favorite home made meals are (in no particular order):

1) scrambled eggs with home fried potatoes

2) Sauted chicken thighs or legs simmered in crushed tomatoes with diced
vegetables over rice

3) Pepper steak

4) Sauted or broiled sea scallops over spaghetti with a bit tomato sauce.

5) Meatballs with steamed white rice and tomato sauce

5) Lamb chops with baked potato and peas and 'shrooms

6) Roasted chicken and roasted vegies

7) My new favorite, fish cakes with side of corn

8) For a quick meal, sliced sauted 97% fat free Hebrew National hotdogs
simmered in about a cup of baked beans.

9) Home made Philly cheese steak and french fries (rarely make this).

10) Diced chicken breast sauted with vegies, wine, and soy sauce served
with brown rice.

We had waffles and scrambled eggs for dinner tonight. Sometimes,
nothing satisfies like breakfast for dinner.

Clearly, you need to come to dinner some time. :-)

dinner around 7. :-)

Hmm. Favorites, as opposed to most frequent. Gotcha. These aren't in
any kind of order, just as they occurred to me.

1. Chicken and dumplings
2. Spaghetti with tomato sauce
3. Roasted root veggies
4. Tacos
5. Split pea soup
6. Falafel and baba ganouj
7. Quiche
8. Yakisoba
9. Slow-cooked pork
10. Roasted chicken

Ham and eggs.
A day's work for a chicken, a lifetime commitment for a pig.

I had pork braised in milk twice. Once it was absolutely sublime, the
other time it was too salty, both times from the same place. what is your
recipe? I won't have the opportunity to eat it often, but i want to make
it.

I only make it about once a year, and I follow Marcella Hazan's recipe. I'll
dig up the recipe and post it when I get home. Sometimes I add dried
apricots or prunes to the braising liquid. Last time I made it, I served it
with chestnut polenta, which turned out very well.

Don't know who you're talking to, but I considered Bill-NWG's reply a
joke. That's why I said I liked him. 'Nuff" said?

Yay! Hope you like insalata caprese. It's a staple around here in the
summertime, both as a salad, and as a sandwich.

serene, who really does invite folks to just drop in for 7pm dinner if
they're nearby -- we have some nice impromptu dinner parties that way

I have to say that I'm getting a lot out of the responses to this thread:

1. A couple people listed chicken piccata. I may have given it short shrift;
I'll have to get around to making it soon.

2. Gloria's description of how to make Portuguese Cocida sounds like a
keeper.

3. Kate B reminded me how much I like mussels in a coconut-curry broth. She
also brought my attention to a recipe I haven't tried in the China Moon
cookbook. That cookbook is less than two feet from my computer at home and I
haven't cooked anything from it recently, so I'll have to look up the recipe
and make that plum wine chicken sometime.

4. Karen AKA Kajikit mentioned pasta carbonara with chicken and sweetcorn.
I've never tried that, but it sure sounds good.

Thanks to all!

Bob

I was wondering when we would hear from you. Looking at your list I
would say you must be thinner than I am. There are some calorific
delights on there!
I can't afford to braise with barolo. Is it local to you?
