I couldnt even begin to start. You do have a quite impressive list tho, I must say!\

Bangers and mash, bangers are a type of sausage and mash, well mashed potatoes.

My list is about as big as my imagination. While there are a few dishes that I make more than once, most of the time I'm just pulling ideas out of thin air based on what I see at the store that catches my eye or is on special. Some of the better creations get scribbled down into a notebook as something that resembles a recipe, usually just a rough list of ingredients and a few quick notes on cooking methods.
Anyways, if I were to try to put a number on the amount of non-made up dishes I can make off the top of my head, it would be at least a hundred, but then again I'm a trained professional.

I have no names for what i can make, 'cause i just put what ever in the pan and cook, some turns out pretty good. Some bad...

PB & J w/the crust cut off..............

Like rockzilla my list is long as my imagination.
its not so much as what I can prepare, its more technique & fusion. for instance take your classic eggs benedict and put a Cajun flare to it. sub tasso ham for canadian bacon, sourdough for english muffin & some roasted red peppers on top of the hollandaise..... yum

pinklily

grilled cheese.
cesar salad.
cereal....but only the cold kind.
apples 5 ways.

can you tell how diverse my diet is? j/k
I've been trying to learn to cook- but my last 2 efforts haven't really come out very well....call me a kitchen ditz, but I am trying to get better.

-tofu pasta (sooo good! fried crumbled tofu in it)

Chicken dishes:

-kara-age chicken
-stuffed chicken breast (spinach, brie, portabello)
-olive-crusted chicken
-peanut-crusted chicken
-chicken parmesan
-chicken cordon bleu
-roast chicken, usually with lemon and garlic
-madras/vindaloo curries, inc spinach, coconut, or yoghurt
-random soup creation
-random stir fry creation

Beef:
-schnitzel
-roast beef w/ roasted garlic and potatoes

don't eat too much beef... when I do it's usually barbequed anyway

Pork:
-Tonkatsu!!!!! possibly one of my favourite foods
-stir frys
-bbq

Fish:
-Salmon with Maple & Green Tea reduction
-Blackened Rainbow Trout
-Sushi (nigiri and rolls)
-Smoked/canned salmon/crab in a pasta
-unagi donburi (eel in rice bowl)

Vegetarian
-eggplant parmesan

-strawberry brie (baked brie with bread crumbs and strawberry jam
-melon with prosciutto
-sandwiches, favourite is chicken pesto sandwich - chicken breast, pesto sauce, spinach, goat cheese, on grilled foccacia, and chicken caesar in a pita.

made brie+cranberry, smoked salmon+cream cheese, and spinach+feta stuffed phyllo appetizers last night, along with garlic shrimp, and a main course of grilled salmon steaks w/ maple syrup and chamomile tea reduction

Basically I pick a few things to use and create whatever I feel like at the time. One night I'm bbq'ing steak, next night might be curry, then sushi next day... stir fry.... thai noodles... etc....

Fiancee doesn't cook at all So she appreciates my work

Easy mac, Ramen, Hot Pockets, umm, I'm fresh out. Guess I'll have to find someone who either really loves to cook or really loves to order take out.

your well on your way..... creativity separates the cooks from the chefs.....................

Since I love to cook, my list is too long to post here, but here is an intresting variation on grilled steaks. Almost everybody turns up their nose at the recipe, but nobody had ever complained about the flavor of the steaks.

1 inch cut ribeye steak (or your choice, but must be thick)
1 tablespoon ground coffee (not coffee grounds)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Mix ingredients and rub on both sides of steak, making sure to cover sides and any exposed fat thoroughly. Cook over HOT fire on either charcoal, or gas grill. I generally go about 6 to 7 minutes per side, but thats up to you.
The coffee will smell like your kitchen in the morning, and the brown sugar will completely blacken the steak, holding in the juices. When taken off the grill they look like crap, or blackened steak if you prefer, but are wonderful. There is almost no coffee flavor at all, and the brown sugar goes nicely with the moist meat inside the crust.
(I saw this on Good Morning America, or one of those morning news shows. Was aftaid to try it on anybody until I tried it myself, and they are great...best if you prefer steaks medium, medium rare, or rare, never attempted to cremate one)

Keedo

hmm, my list will be pretty short. Most often I order out, but i make a mean texas chili. Not bad for a guy whom never got to texas

Sargeman

I can't believe no one has ramen noodles on their list.

I find it's easier to just make a list of the types of food I make since by and large I modify things as I go and just improvise. I'm very good at thai, chinese, italian, and mexican, and can more than hold my own at japanese, indian, and middle eastern. I still need to learn french, spanish, vietnamese, and korean. Figure I'll add to the list of things to learn as I go. One of these days I'll actually get around to dumping some of my favorite recipes on a website and linking it here, but until then some of them are in the archives.

World's King

Now, my cooking style is more southern fried/soul food but I've been know to throw down a mean ass stir fry. But for the most part if it involves a grill or a deep fryer. I'm the fucking King. And yes... I do have a deep fryer in my house.

If it can be grilled, smoked, fried or mixed with tomatoes/salsa, I can make it awesome. Doesn't really take a lot, just know what seasonings you like and in what amounts.

Rodney

I've got one dish with a thousand variations. I call it "Pasta and Any Damned Thing." Usually _doesn't_ involve tomato sauce; usually _does_ involve olive oil and shredded romano or parmesan.

One of the easiest, and most unusual variations involves farfalline (very small butterfly-shape pasta, cooks up as a dense mass), olive oil, shredded romano, and mint, salt and black pepper -- heavy on the mint and pepper. Tastes _great_, excellent side dish for red meat.

My latest favorite: pasta tossed with diced tomatoes, sliced white onions, diced avocado, diced jalapeno, olive oil, shredded romano, salt, served up with a medium-sized glob of sour cream on the side. I've always been looking for some kind of dish that fuses Italian and Mexican (or Cal Mex, anyway) flavors, and this does the job.

SinisterMotives

Impressive lists, you guys. I think I'm a pretty good all-around cook - or at least nobody has died from my cooking yet.

My specialty is chicken and dumplings with homemade buttermilk dumplings. I make a pretty decent broccoli alfredo sauce too.

There's this one baked chicken thing I used to make a lot when I was in a hurry with frozen vegetables and cream of mushroom and/or cream of celery soup. You just put the chicken in an oblong cake pan, fill in the spaces with frozen veggies, spread the condensed soup over it like icing on a cake, and dump a lot of spices on top of that. Then cover it with foil and bake it for an hour and fifteen minutes.

I've mostly grilled or smoked everything I've eaten for the past year or so. I even wrap potatoes, corn in the husk, and squash in aluminum foil and cook them on the grill. I hate cooking indoors in the summer because it heats the whole apartment up.

Draconis

I'm just gonna throw this one out there. I can cook a lot, but the best damn thing to eat, any time of the day or night, is a peanut butter and pickle sandwich. Just try it. You just use those Claussen sandwich slices instead of jelly.
