If you were going to make me something really good to eat, what would it be? (bbq, frozen)

Roast chicken with whatever veggies are in season. For dessert, strawberry shortcake.

Pernil is tasty too. But I got spoiled by the strong flavors of Cuban pork. Every time I have pernil, I am missing the strong mojo flavor.

As long as it's real salmon, and not that Atlantic stuff they call salmon but is really just a steelhead.

My favorite salmon is coho, and I prefer to poach it rather than bake it. The dill sauce is great. I also poach it with rosemary, lemon slices and tomato slices, then throw away the rosemary, lemon and tomato when I serve the fish.

If you want good asparagus you have to raise your own. The stuff in the supermarkets is already stale and has lost its flavor. Then I steam it lightly so it's still al dente, and serve it with nothing but butter.

Dessert is marionberry pie.

How did you guys come to know all these recipes? If it weren't for the George Foreman grill, a rice cooker, and a veggie steamer, I'd starve.

I've always wanted to learn how to make chicken biryani, as it's my favorite dish, but it's difficult to make correctly using a rice cooker.

Lump Crabcakes with little filler

Organic Spring Mixed greens with strawberries, Blue Cheese, walnuts and my homemade honey/red wine vinegar/mustard dressing

Baby potatoes, mixed with butter. parsley

Fresh Key Lime Pie

A nice Cabernet

Full roast lamb dinner, with roasted potatoes, roasted roots, home made mint sauce and thick gravy.

LongNote, I think you should send us your address, give us a date, and we will bring our food and have a potluck dinner at your house! If there is anything leftover, it is yours.

The flank steak recipe I grew up with eating, potatoes I got from a TV show, asparagus recipe is half from a newspaper argicle, half made up. The rolls I'm not telling because you'd laugh at me.

The spice cake recipe is from my grandmother's family's bakery in Sweden - she packed it, the special pan you cook it in, and some clothes when she was in her late teens and came to America. I inherited the recipe and the pan and now serve as the family "connect" when someone wants one. Needless to say I'm very busy around Christmas shipping freaking spice cakes hither and yon...by the time January rolls around, I can't stand the thought of them for months.

For a while I was on a kick of making enchiladas in the cooler/winter months to warm things up. Sometimes I wish I had more time to cook/bake at home. It really gives me much joy and pleasure.

First an IBA-sanctioned Singapore Sling for the cocktail hour beforehand, then a beef and barley soup, then a nice thick slab of heated shank portion ham, and mixed garden vegetable (light) curry with Mornay sauce (trust me on that). Then either a fruit and cheese assortment, or a spinach salad with slivered pecans, slivered red onions, crumbled gorgonzola, and vinaigrette. Then a plum custard pie. Finally, a nice VSOP brandy.
