Time to wrap up Hannibal Week–and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a cocktail. I selected Punch Romaine, Punch Romaine appears in the third episode of the third season. Hannibal and Bedelia host Professor Sogliato for dinner. He works with Hannibal, but doesn’t know that he’s dining with Hannibal, because Hannibal has assumedContinue reading Hannibal Week: Punch Romaine
Hannibal Week rolls on! This is my attempt to redeem myself after the absolute shit show that was Heart with Sausage Stuffing. In the seventh episode of season 1, “Sorbet,” Hannibal hosts a grand dinner. Unbeknownst to his guests, they are dining on some of the trophies the Chesapeake Ripper collected during his latest stringContinue reading Hannibal Week: Prosciutto Roses & Tomato Brain Barquettes
What do you do when your month of Wiener Wednesdays collides with Hannibal Week? You make a sausage-centric dish from Feeding Hannibal, that’s what! This is Heart With Sausage Stuffing. I could also just repost that time I made homemade sausages using the recipe from the cards I bought in the Hannibal Prop Store auction,Continue reading Wiener Wednesday: Hannibal’s Heart with Sausage Stuffing
It’s Hannibal Week on Dinner Is Served 1972! My love of the tv show Hannibal is well-documented here on the blog. The show ran for a mere 3 seasons (2013-2015), but in those 3 seasons creator Bryan Fuller & Co. gave us a lot to chew on, so to speak. It is one of thoseContinue reading Hannibal Week 2020
Oh Hannibal, I loved you so. So much so that I spent my 2016 fantasy football winnings (my team was named Hannibal Lecter’s Facemask–get it?) on props from the show. Three of which were recipe cards–all of which I made. I also delved into Janice Poon’s official cookbook from the TV show, Feeding Hannibal. OffalContinue reading Hannibal
Hello again! It’s been a week since election day and what a shit week it’s been. I didn’t take the election too well (understatement), work is all shades of meh, and both Brian and Margot have fleas! So for the past couple of days I’ve been doing nothing but flea combing (gross), sprinkling diatomaceous earthContinue reading Hannibal Lecter’s Beef Tongue w. Horseradish
Today we invite Hannibal the Cannibal back into my kitchen and make his sweet Italian sausage. Does that make this a Wiener Wednesday??? I think it does! If you recall, I purchased 3 recipe cards that were used as props on the most excellent TV show, Hannibal (R.I.P.). And, as with Hannibal’s Pork Liver WithContinue reading Hannibal Lecter’s Sweet Italian Sausage
Hello, friends and fellow Fannibals! Did any of you bid on some lots in the Hannibal TV show auction 2 months ago? I did. Because I am crazy and had money to burn (my fantasy team this year–Hannibal Lecter’s Facemask–went all the way). A lot of great stuff was on the auction block–clothing, furniture, knives–butContinue reading Hannibal Lecter’s Pork Liver w. Bacon
It’s here! It’s here! The season 3 premiere of the best damn show on television, Hannibal! I can’t say enough about this phenomenal television series. And, for serious, yinz guys, why aren’t you watching it yet? I absolutely love Hannibal. It has all the trademarks of a show that I would be totally down withContinue reading Hannibal the Cannibal Canapes Burgundy
I’ve been waiting for a good reason to bust out card No. 167 Picnic Beef Roll. And I found the perfect occasion–it’s International Picnic Day!

THE SMIRNOFF BEDROOM BRUNCH (1971) APRIL 23, 2023 This, however, is a different kind of brunch. A brunch for two. A private brunch. A bedroom brunch. I was inspiredContinue reading The Bloody Mary Bar
Welcome to Hannibal Week! Today we are having cocktails. During the end of season 2 and the beginning of season 3, Hannibal describes his Memory Palace and how it allows him to be anywhere (or any time) regardless of where he is. It’s a lovely idea–tucking away feelings and thoughts and fact and figures inContinue reading The Chesapeake Ripper Cocktail
Happy International National Picnic Day! 134. isn’t a picnic per se; but I am posting this one today because I fully intended to eat it as a picnic with Mr. Sauce, Esq. this past weekend. The picnic didn’t happen so I ate this by myself for lunch on Monday. First things first, let’s talk aboutContinue reading 134. Stuffed Ham Sandwiches
Welcome to your one-stop shop for all your Wiener Wednesday needs. 2012-2013 was the Year of the Hot Dog. Every Wednesday featured a different wiener-themed post. I was really hot dogged out so I didn’t do a Wiener Wednesday until I revived it July 2019 and July 2020. Then, because there is neverContinue reading Wiener Wednesdays
Happy spring! I have another Dinner is Served dinner! I chose No. 184 because Mr. Sauce had a couple of his friends over for dinner. When he invites his friends over, I tend to make “safer” dinners. I’ll make my friends eat kidneys and milk chicken, but I don’t want to do that to hisContinue reading 184. Wine-Glazed Cornish Hens
