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. |

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 |

Do try it as, once you have the components, there are endless possibilities with them! The dish has evolved for me over the years but I remember the first time I made it, precisely as specified, and my mouth was very happy. The China Moon Chile Orange Oil (an important component in the plum wine marinade) is absolutely essential to have on hand, especially during the summer. I love to marinate anything in it before grilling. I have taken to gifting some of my serious foodie friends with it over the years. It's gotten to the point where they've sometimes warned me, sternly, when they're running low ....... The true essentials are the chile orange oil and the pickled ginger juice as anything else can be substituted. As to the coconut curry mussels - my sister recently requested my recipe for a dinner party. I sent her my (then) thoughts of how I make it. She said it was very good (at her party) but that "stuff" was missing and it lacked the "ooomph" of mine. While a part of me was pleased that she preferred the version I make I realized that she was making the version that *I* make. Clearly what I told her was inadequate or <fantasy mode on> I was a cooking goddess that could turn dross into gold. Realization hit that possibly I hadn't thought out the recipe I sent sufficiently and my major in college wasn't alchemy. So I recreated it for a dinner and, for the first time, wrote down what I did immediately after I did it. Compared my "sent" recipe to my "as I did it" recipe and was shocked! I forgot to mention kaffir limes (truly optional), lemon grass (moderately optional) and fresh minced ginger (totally not optional). E-mail me if you want my version as recently recreated. <snip> Kate |

Stan, how do you do your pepper steak? What cut of beef do you use? How about your lamb chops - which do you buy and how do you prepare them? What are fish cakes? What veggies do you use with the chickenb breast meat? They all sound good, although I do make stir-fried 'pepper steak' thing -- except I use a bunch of other vegetables with it. :-/ -- -Barb <http://jamlady.eboard.com> Updated 4-20-2006 with our visit to Kramarczuk's.

Quite a few Portuguese "folk" dishes call for "saffrua" which is actually powdered safflower, not saffron. It's interesting that Portugal is such a tiny country but has so many political/cultural/culinary divisions from one area to the next, divided by rivers and mountain ranges. In eastern cities which are heavy with Portuguese ancestry, it was impossible to get elected to public office in years past because candidates were judged by their area of origin and "you can't trust a man whose people came from xxxtown because they're all liars, blowhards, cheats, etc." Yeah, very provincial. I have a yummy recipe for dried salt cod which I'll post if I can find it. I made it about once a year when we lived on the east coast and cod in those funky little wooden boxes was 99cents a pound instead of $9.99. Now aren't you sorry you asked? gloria p |

Most nights, if a vegetarian showed up for dinner here, there would be enough sides to make a meal. If it was a spaghetti with meat sauce night, it might be a little sparse, but there would be salad, bread and vegetable, most likely. Good enough for a meal, probably not as a lifestyle. If I was living with a vegetarian, I'd make some adjustments, I'm sure, but I doubt I'd give up meat entirely. There are plenty of meals where the meat is a separate entity, so the other person just wouldn't eat that part of the meal. Or could substitute something else that would be acceptable. One hamburger, one tofu-burger. Whatever. Or where the meat could be added to the meat-eater's portion, but not to the other. Like a stir fry. Do the meat separately, and add to just one portion. Do tacos with choices of fillings. If I was living with a vegetarian, I'd probably eat more non-meat meals, because meat isn't always a requirement on my plate. But I wouldn't give it up entirely and then crave it. Donna |

Pork Loin Braised in Milk from _The Classic Italian Cookbook_ by Marcella Hazan 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 pounds pork loin in one piece, with some fat on it, securely tied 1 teaspoon salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 1/2 cups milk 1. Heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat in a casserole large enough to just contain the pork. When the butter foam subsides add the meat, fat side facing down. Brown thoroughly on all sides, lowering the heat if the butter starts to turn dark brown. 2. Add the salt, pepper and milk. (Add the milk slowly, otherwise it may boil over.) Shortly after the milk comes to a boil, turn the heat down to medium, cover, but not tightly, with the lid partly askew, and cook slowly for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until the meat is easily pierced by a fork. Turn and baste the meat from time to time, and, if necessary, add a little milk. By the time the meat is cooked the milk should have coagulated into small nut-brown clusters. If it is still pale in color, uncover the pot, raise the heat to high, and cook briskly until it darkens. 3. Remove the meat to a cutting board and allow to cool off slightly for a few minutes. Remove the trussing string, carve into slices 3/8 inch thick, and arrange them on a warm platter. Draw off most of the fat from the pot with a spoon and discard, being careful not to discard any of the coagulated milk clusters. Taste and correct for salt. (There may be as much as 1 to 1 1/2 cups of fat to be removed.) Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of warm water, turn the heat to high, and boil away the water while scraping and loosening all the cooking residue in the pot. Spoon the sauce over the sliced pork and serve immediately. With just one teaspoon of salt for two pounds of meat, I can't see any way it could turn out too salty if the recipe was followed. I'm guessing that the cook botched it the second time you had it. Now if you can just get your boyfriend to think you're cooking seitan... Bob |

He can certainly cook for himself, he's a very good cook in his own right, but I enjoy cooking and I enjoy cooking for him. On occasion I will get a craving for something specific and I will make it and make sure he either makes his own or that he has something else to eat. Mostly I don't mind, but sometimes veal would just about hit the spot. -- ..:Heather:. www.velvet-c.com Step off, beyotches, I'm the roflpimp! |

I don't even see how it would apply to kid, as long as you refrained from milking its own mother to make the dish. Isaac |

You know, I've wondered the same thing. Why isn't chicken cooked with dairy kosher, since there's no possibility that the mother chicken could produce the milk? :P Regards, Tracy R. |
