What Should My First New Kitchen Meal Be?

Hi all. As the prolific Jim Anchower says, I know it’s been a long time since I rapped at ya. Firstly, allow me to apologize for the sparsity of my posts lately. The corporate gods have sucked the soul and free time out of me, which has cut into my T/S time considerably. For that, I am sorry. I am making it my duty and sole purpose in life (not really, but kinda) to get back to my food bloggin’ ways.
My kitchen is damn near done (pics TK) … just waiting on countertops, and then I can cook once again. Angels sing! Bunnies jump! Puppies show their bellies! My world will once again be whole, and several people have asked me what the first thing I’m going to cook in my new kitchen is. My answer has been: I have no clue. Being out of the culinary game has left me bereft of ideas for what I want to christen my kitchen with. So, I’m turning to you. I’d love to take suggestions on what my first meal should be (leave ‘em in the comments) , and then I’ll provide a detailed account for you. Deal?

Keep fucking the chicken surprise. It’s a crowd-pleaser. Every. Time.
how timely. roast chicken was high on my list.
In response to another comment. See in context »if it were my kitchen, it would be christened with an extremely slow roasted pork leg swimming in mojo and onion, black beans that have simmered even longer the piggie has roasted and tender rice that takes the shape of whatever container into which it’s placed.
And what the hell, after all that it would be a crime not to throw in a flan de queso.
I would roast a turkey because that is such a symbolic meal for me. Or maybe a goose to get all that goose fat for future cooking.
Whatever it is, include some fresh bread. I think that aroma — and not the infamous apple — is what brought self-knowledge to human kind.
