What dinner do you wish you had more often?

For me, it was last night's "chef's salad" which here doesn't not
include the hard-boiled eggs I see in most recipes. Mine was green leaf
lettuce, red onion, and red peppers, plus diced ham, salami, and
provolone cheese, and topped with red wine vinegar, olive oil, and fresh
ground black pepper.

Always a delightful meal to have - everything I like, nothing I don't,
and a fine way to get your veggies. It always _seems_ like it's going
to be a pain in the arse to make, but when you consider the fact that
you don't have to cook anything (the salami, ham, and provolone were all
in the 'frig), it really just takes 5-10 minutes to prepare.

Down sides? Well, it's not hot if you like a hot dinner, but as the
weather gets warmer here, this seems more and more a good dinner. Bake
up some dinner rolls to go along with it if you like.

I wish I could have Dinner at Antoine's in New Orleans. Pom Frites,
Oysters Foch, Tournados of Beef, a good red wine,
and the best service .....ever...from a waiter you've known for
years. Old school, perfection. One big thing I miss about not
living there anymore.

That does sound delicious!

For me, it would be my absolute favorite; a meal of:

Seaweed salad

Miso Soup

Hiyashi Chuka Noodles with Sesame Flavored Dressing

All types of sushi, including Oshizushi
http://minami-mie.info/images/eat/oshizushi.jpg

Nigirizushi
http://tiny.cc/4g5d2

and Gukenzushi
http://tiny.cc/5ple4


It's full of veggies, broth and fish loaded with Omega3

Each part of the meal is colorful and has a distinct flavor of the
blend of it's ingredients. Some is crunchy, some is soft and some has
both soft and crunchy.

Those pics just made me very, very hungry....haha

i thought a long time about this... i like too many things to pick just one,
hot food when its cool and cool foods when its hot, wine with dinner and tea
with lunch just about covers my really wants, Lee

Haven't had this for years. Too many carbs! But... Whole pinto bean

Over the last few years I have been getting boneless legs. Still a lot
for one person, but the leftovers make a great curry. As much as I like
leg of lamb, if it were just for me, I would stick to lamb loin chops.

We love lobster and king crab, and DH's ribs n pulled pork. But the
seafood takes it hands down, with a good green salad.

I suppose you must be considering meals you are allowed to eat :-( I
haven't had a large steak with french fries in over 20 years but I would
like it "more often". I would accompany it with a green salad with
garlic infused olive oil and vinegar dressing.

I just meant that "wouda, shoulda, coulda" meal, the one that's really
not hard to make but you somehow never get around to it often enough.
Certainly there are plenty of restaurant meals I'd love to have more
often but don't because I can't afford the money or the time.

Why haven't you had a large steak with fries in so long? Health
reasons?

No point in asking. Were there a real reason it would have been given
with the obviously outrageous statement (20 years). Any reason given
now that you asked won't be the truth. Were it health reasons he
would not have said "*large* steak", WTF large means. Even in prison
they serve tube steak. LOL

Alright. As I seem to mention periodically here, there is a lot of new
thought on this subject, and if cholesterol is your reasoning, you might
read up on things a bit to take in some of the opinions that contradict
the old wisdom about limiting dietary cholesterol.

Anyway, once in a while, it wouldn't hurt you, I'm sure. Probably even
a once a month steak and fries dinner wouldn't change your health for
the worse, and it just might help.

Best of luck to you, whatever you do.

I probably should just let this ride but I have been on a no- or low-fat
diet for a long time and have gotten used to it. Sometimes, I get
fooled, mainly in Indian and Chinese restaurants, and eat more fat than
I am accustomed to. I almost almost feel uncomfortable within a few hours.

By the way, I have learned that Indian vegetarian restaurants are worse
for fat than non-specialized ones.

James, without a doubt, a change of diet takes getting used to - the
classic example is the American tourist in Mexico being told "don't
drink the water" - that's right, but the Mexicans seem to drink it just
fine. If you're happy, I'm happy for you, but don't assume that because
a sudden change to what you eat disagrees with you that it would always
do so. Alcohol is another example - I remember sharing a liter of wine
with my wife every night for a month when we were in Europe after we got
married, and I felt fine the next day. Now, more than a few sips
bothers me the next day, but that's because a few sips is all I have and
even that not very often.

Be well and enjoy your low-fat diet - if you've found something that
works for you, that's great.

How 'bout a small steak? Mine was delicious. And ample (for me).

If you choose your own USDA Choice, thick cut strip, and go for one
with little marbling, you can trim off the fat and end up with a very
lean piece of meat. Same with sirloin. The fries are problematic
only because you need to use a lot of oil to fry them if you don't
want them to end up with a lot of fat in them. Too little oil and
putting the potatoes in drops the temp of the oil, and more gets
absorbed. A very high oil/potato ratio is best, but what the heck is
a person on a very low fat diet going to do with all that leftover
oil? You can at least have the steak with a no or low fat potato.
Hey, if you drove a diesel you could add a cup of the peanut oil to
every full tank of fuel.

If you went to prison you'd end up with a lot of Irish and Italian
tube steak in your mouth.

I bought two small (12 ounce) strip loin steaks today, on sale at
$5.99/lb. And bought one 20 ounce porterhouse ($6.99/lb). I actually
went to buy the Hunts canned tomatoes they had on sale at $1 per can,
I got 20 cans asst, whole, diced, and crushed... and they had Yoplait
at 10/$5, got ten of those too. Then hit the produce and really
filled up, everything looked good... will be making more salad soon.
Anyway steak needn't be fatty if you trim away the exess fat prior to
cooking... crows gotta eat too.

One my other half makes. I'd like to be the one who just glides to
the table, eats and then glides away from the KP duty.

What if they suck!?

I won't eat my mom's cooking at gunpoint, ever! She used to cook
great, but now burns canned soup and microwave popcorn. My ex-wife
couldn't cook to save her life. Actually, she could, but pretended
she couldn't so she wouldn't have to. The results were the same,
crappy food.

Beware what you wish for.

Isn't that a punchline to a joke about a restaurant?

It's not free, but I love chicken wing stew and dumplings. I'd make it a
lot more often but I hate making dumplings. Anyone know a shortcut to
spooning those little globs into the boiling water? Fill a baster with
dumpling dough? But then I'd have to fill and wash out the baster.
Cooking would be nice if I weren't so lazy.

You do sound lazy. I don't have a problem adding 6-8 dumplings to
whatever I'm making.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

When I do it it's a more than 6 or 8. I must make smaller dumplings, And
while I'm at it, Since dumplings reheat fine, I make enough for all the
four meals the stew supplies, 40 to 50..
