What's your favorite home cooked meal?

[Anonymous]

A family chicken dish that I haven't made for years because chicken is too woody. I'd have to special order something from goldbelly or something and really plan ahead and spend $$$

Boeuf Bourguignon, but ours adds a bunch of extra root vegetables, and usually with a bottle of Zinfandel to drink.

This is the birthday rule in our family — you get one meal at a restaurant of your choosing, and one homemade meal of your choosing.

What I asked, my mother for varies — Sometimes it’s a veal dish in a blue cheese sauce (It’s out of my cousins cookbook so it’s a real family affair wheh we do that one). Last year it was the barefoot Contessa white pizzas with arugula. My birthday is in August so I always get an ice cream cake.

DH Is very good at steak, so I’ll usually get that from him with twice baked potatoes. His twice-baked potatoes are second only to my mother and as she gives him tips, he’s catching up. I won’t even bother eating twice baked in a restaurant anymore. It’s Mom ‘s or DH’s or nothing.

My mother has requested I make shrimp and grits for her birthday for over 10 years now. And DH request my shrimp diavola. So apparently I’m really good at shrimp.

Both of them love a rum cake, so I’ll usually make one of those. Or, for my mom, any dessert with peanut butter and/or banana.

Depends on who's cooking! My favorite meal would be king salmon or king crab, but only if I know the person won't overcook it. Green salad and pasta on the side.

Baked ziti, garlic bread, salad, cannoli

Pork loin roast. And not the small tenderloin thing, the bigger thing, the much less expensive one. With gravy made from the drippings, and mashed potatoes. And peas with pearl onions (which I can't find anymore.) And a perfect green salad with some blue cheese in it and a sherry shallot vinaigrette.

Yes, I'm Gex X old, with a case of nostalgia when it comes to food.

This is an excellent rule.

Punjabi Kadhi pakora with rice or plain paranthas. My ultimate comfort meal.

My husband would probably say my chili or beef stew.

This makes me want to try shrimp with grits at home. I think they'd be a big hit. Do you have a fave recipe? Do you get cooked shrimp or cleaned uncooked shrimp, etc?

Alaskan red king crab with steamed jasmine rice, green salad, hot sourdough roll and melted butter.

I don’t think I have *a* favorite. Ask me one night and I might say fettuccine with garlic shrimp and roasted asparagus. Another day it might be my grandmothers baked ham with twice naked potatoes. I can never tell what I’m going to want tomorrow.
