I gots a bunch of'em.

A SICK Crab Rangoon (i make'em for the Super Bowl every year & i ALWAYS get laid).

Chicken Parmesan, with a great sauce...olive oil, red wine, garlic...Mmmm, pasta al dente of course.

Fried whole catfish, with slaw & some sort of tater...that always hits the spot.

Carne Asada tacos, very simple...chopped steak, onion, cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, on a steamed corn shell...oh yeah.

Thats just a sample.

LMAO

I've got a Tunisian dish that was the Bon Appetit entree of the year a few years back. It takes all day, and it's got all sorts of spices and fruits around a base of pork. It's pretty amazing.

(Clarification: it's not my creation. I just make it from Bon Appetit's recipe.)

Big fat Ribeyes! Grilled Corn on the Cob (30 minutes). Baked Potatoe on the Grill (1 hour with slabs of butter and lots of oinion in the center of each potater).

Yummy.

LMAO

As it should be!

4 split chick. breast bone in skin on
one 10 oz. jar O apricot preserves
1/2 cup O onion
1/2 cup O dry sherry
1/2 cup O soy sauce
Dash O black pepper

Mix everything together in mixing bowl. Pour over chicken. Bake 30 minute at 350 reduce to 250 for 1.5 hrs. Serve with plain white rice and green beens accompany this nicely.

I dont really use a recipe as far as measurements, i just eyeball it 'til it looks right...but heres the ingredients.

Fake crab meat, 1 package.

Chopped fresh ginger, a must...but try to go easy, 'bout a TBSP.

A few dashes of soy sauce.

Sesame oil, cant make'em without it...but again, go easy, the stuff is strong.

Cream cheese (soft), about 2 small tubs.

Tiny pinch of minced garlic.

Minced green onion.

You want a fairly firm mix, pouch it up in spring roll shells & fry 'til golden brown. Dip in a sweet & sour sauce.

Glad to see some of ya got the Charlie Sheen on SNL reference.

PAPA A LA HUANCAINA :drool:

Beef flavored ramen noodles, or possibly Tuna Helper.

I'm best known for my egg rolls, so I'd go with those.

But I do a beef fillet with a great pan sauce and side of stuffed mushrooms that is out of this world. It's our standard fare for family celebrations.

I've got another dozen or more dishes that are better than 99% of resturaunt fare.
