dish/food repertoire

When I took piano lessons back in the day, my teacher enfasized the importance of having a repertoire of songs that you play well (and hopefully by memory), so that, should the opportunity arrise, you can play a few songs for friends, family or whoever.

I've found that this strategy is good for food as well. It's nice to have a bunch of tasty dishes that I can just whip up when need be. So here is a my repertoire list:

• chopsui de curry
• sour chickpeas
• enchiladas
• cazuela
• pesto
• vegetables and/or meat in almond sauce
• hashbrowns - I make this as a meal with lots of vegetables like grated carrot, onions, green peppers, and sometimes other veggies I have laying around. I use a ton of oil and salt. That's the key to achieving tastiness
  

can also do:

• pork chops and mashed potatoes
• hamburgers
• french fries
• sushi
• fajitas
• burritos
  

and I hope to incorporate these dishes into my repertoire soon:

• merluza - my suegra's got a great recipe for merluza made in the oven
• paella
• falafel (I hope to find a recipe for baked falafel)
  

One of my favorite desserts lately is grated apple and coconut milk topped with cinnamin, nutmeg, ground cloves, and sweet garam masala. I think I'm addicted to coconut milk, but I personally think it's pretty healthy, after all it is 100% natural.

I made vegan paella the other day because I didn't have any chicken or anything and it turned out surprisingly well.
