Top 10 Home-Cooked Meals
I note that these aren't the most FREQUENT things I cook, just my FAVORITES.
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 [*] Will change when summer hits Bob |

Interesting choices, Bob--they look delicious. I notice that 6 of the
10 are Asian dishes. Cheers, Nancree |

No doubt, as you say, it would be different next week. In no particular order: -aem 1. Beef with mushrooms, peapods, and oyster sauce. Stirfry. 2. Shrimp with chili-garlic paste. Stirfry. 3. Red-cooked chicken ("loo"), thighs or drumsticks or wings. Picnic fare. 4. Sichuan eggplant in fish sauce (means spicy sauce for fish, not made of fish). 5. Rabo encendido--Cuban-style braised oxtails. 6. Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob. -- It's the gravy that makes it. 7. Coq au vin, prepared as Julia taught. 8. Charcoal grilled steak. Usually New York strip. I make do with a gas grill and wood chips. Twice-baked potato, or French fries. Creamed spinach or spinach salad. 9. King or silver salmon, grilled, basted with mixture of maple syrup and soy sauce. Pilaf. 10. Spaghetti with homemade "Italian gravy". Pork shoulder/butt in long-cooked tomato sauce. Honorable mention: pork spareribs, marinated overnight in standard Chinese sauce--soy, rice wine, ginger, garlic, dried red chiles, pre-cooked in oven at 225°F until near done, then finished on grill with smoke, basted with soy sauce and melted butter. |

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 serene |

Both of those were on my original list of favorites, but got taken off when I pared the list down to ten entries. The coq au vin was temporarily supplanted by liver with bacon, onions, stewed figs, and a red-wine jus, but that eventually got taken off too. Bob |

I keep seeing items that I whittled off my original list to pare it down to ten items! (My catfish soup was Thai rather than Cambodian, though, and then I changed it to a seafood stew instead.) Bob |

Top 10 Home-Cooked Meals
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! |

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.... -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |

Vindaloo > >[*] Will change when summer hits These are also the dishes I make the most for any gatherings that include more than my SO and I (and very frequently when others aren't around). Pasta Bolognese I make the sauce in large batches and freeze. Its got more tomato than an authentic Bolognese but the meats include, pancetta, prosciutto, sausage and ground beef. It gets a good half bottle of wine, about two cups home made brodo, 2 cups half & half or whole milk plus the usual sweated vegetables and a long, long simmer. Anything schnitzelly aka pounded, breaded and fried. These include veal, chicken, skate served with browned butter, capers and lemon. Tortellini/agnolotti (homemade) in brodo or served with Bolognese or Pesto Tuna carpaccio/tartare Braised lanb, veal or beef shanks with olivers, capers and gremolata Mussels with spicy curry and coconut milk A plum wine chicken dish with a dressing/sauce made from pickled ginger juice and mustard from the China Moon Cookbook. It requires all these infused oils and homemade pickled ginger and it's a pain to make all of the components the first time but once you have them around it's a snap. I make it as a salad in the heat of the summer but serve over steamed rice the rest of the year. Thomas Keller's herb and cheese (pate choux) gnocchi served simply with a brown butter and lemon or white wine or fancied up with a variety of vegetables and wild mushrooms. My pastry bag was a forgotten item until I discovered these darlings. Spanakopita Rack of lamb. Kate |

Vindaloo > >[*] Will change when summer hits Thinking about this question has made me realise just how limited my repertoire has become since I got married. My husband doesn't know the first thing about cooking and he doesn't much like vegetables and he HATES curries or exotic spices... I've turned into a very boring cook trying to make things that he likes If you asked DH his favourite meals would be something like: 1. pepperoni pizza (bought not homemade) 2. nachos 3. Plain burger with raw onion and cheese, grilled rare (either bought or homemade) and a loaded baked potato 4. spicy chilli 5. BBQ pork 6. grilled chicken with green beans or broccoli with italian dressing 7. cheese enchilada (he orders this EVERY SINGLE TIME we go for Mexican) 8. roast chicken and homemade potato wedges 9. Homemade fried rice 10. grilled pork chop with rice My favourites include: 1.lasagna 2.homemade pizza with lots of vegetables and not a lot of cheese 3.macaroni cheese with bacon or ham and vegetables cooked into it 4.roast chicken and roast veggies 5.very mild chilli, preferably with vegetables 6.chicken pasta (either a carbonara made with chicken and sweetcorn, or chicken cacciatore) 7. slow-cooked BBQ pork and rice 8.meatloaf or rissoles with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables 9.aromatic green chicken curry with coconut milk 10.baked fish in white wine As you can probably tell, he likes food plainer than me and he thinks a 'vegetable' is another word for a plate decoration... As a compromise we eat a lot of chicken and a lot of baked potatoes, with a frozen vegetable to accompany them, usually tossed in italian dressing. I dish the plates a bit differently to try and make us both happy. He has 35% meat, 35% starch, 30% veggies... and I have 50% veggies, 25% starch, 25% meat. Dishes I actually make would be: nachos chilli burgers (he has a bun and little salad, and I usually have more salad and a slice of bread) roast chicken or roast meatloaf and potato wedges grilled chicken slow-cooked bbq pork homemade fried rice with lots of 'stuff' in it. chicken cacciatore grilled chicken and veggies grilled pork chops and veggies |

Tacos or burritos with TVP and/or beans 7. Yaki soba or udon with seitan and veggies I guess those are our normal rotation. Serene |

It's not quite patio grilling weather here, but any day now we will be switching to outdoor cooking mode and I will be using the gas grill almost every night to BBQ salmon, shrimp, marinated chicken breasts, dry rubbed pork chops, burgers etc. During the winter we switch to indoor cooking mode. We like having a roasted chicken on Sundays, and that gives us cold chicken for Monday. We do a lot of stir fries, and at least once a week it is a braised dish, usually beef stew. Some Sundays we do a leg of lamb instead of the chicken and then I make a curry with the left overs. |

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? > > Soup. Never a recipe. Often the starting point is leftovers from other meals Meatloaf Pasta with tomato-meat or marinara or fresh tomato sauce. Or Lasagna. Chicken - outdoor rotisserie in summer, a variety of ways in cold weather. Roast beef. Italian beef sandwiches after. Cuban sandwiches Gyros or some other lamb dish Sausages and/or burgers on the grill in summer. Oxtails in tomato sauce Stuffed cabbage Just what I'm thinking about right now. Favorite to cook and favorite to eat are probably different too, if I thought much about it. What I make most of these are probably the soup in the fall and winter, and pasta dishes, when I'm in that mood. With meat, I think about what we had last and the time before, and try to go with something else. I've always got lamb on hand because I buy a whole one every year. The rest of it depends on what's on sale and what I've stocked up on before. Oddly enough the last few things I made -- corned beef and turkey -- aren't on the list. Possibly because I just had them and I'm not thinking about having either one really soon. Then again, I just had a bowl of soup, and that's #1 on the list. I love cooking soup when it's cold outside. Donna |

Chopped chicken (breast or thigh meat) browned lightly with onion, garlic, celery and green pepper, them simmered with chopped tomatoes (canned is fine) and chicken stock/broth and raw rice. Add whatever spices you like--I frequently use curry powder or a bit of cayenne or a little oregano, marjoram, or even tarragon. Add more broth, stock or water as needed. I've had the original both soupy or dry, depends on whose grandma is making it. When the rice is nearly done, add shrimp and (optional) some small chunks of ham or small clams or mussels. Serve with crusty bread and a salad. gloria p |
