Howdy, kittens! Are you somewhere that’s getting snow? If so, I really hope that you went out shopping yesterday and already have your milk, bread, and toilet paper. I’m looking specifically at our friends in New York and New England. Speaking of New England, I only remember it snowing once when I lived in BostonContinue reading Hooray for Hors d’Oeuvres: Double Weenie Wreath
After two years of brewing up some Holiday Glogg for Christmas Eve, I decided to switch things up a bit and make eggnog from scratch. After looking through some of my cookbooks, I decided on this recipe, which was taped onto the eggnog pages in my copy of The Savoy Cocktail Book. I have noContinue reading Four Roses Eggnog & Weenie Wreath (2013 Version)
On Sunday I visited my friends Iris and Matt for the Steelers/Ravens game. The Steelers, in the face of adversity, and in spite of Charlie Batch’s old, achy joints, emerged victorious. Yay. But the real highlight of my Sunday was this hot dog holiday wreath, which was suggested by my friend (and Franco Dok HarrisContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Weenie Wreath
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
This is the dish that you chose as the grand finale of this Wiener Wednesday revival! This recipe was sent to me by Mr. Sauce, Esq.’s mom. She will henceforth be known as Mother Sauce. Once Mother Sauce found out that I was a hot dog enthusiast, she started emailing me frankfurter recipes and thisContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Chili Dog Bread Ring
A Christmas post, kittens! This year I had a party for the Christmas parade because it goes through my neighborhood. ALL THREE HOURS OF IT. I shit you not. It was like the Macy’s Day parade. But with meth addicts and Tea Party floats. Look! There were actual balloons! And basically every marching band in Maryland.Continue reading Christmas Parade Party Buffet!
So, according to Foodimentary, September 9 is National Hot Dog Day. Although I thought that the 4th of July is National Hot Dog Day. And other places say July 23. Whatever. As someone who’s made almost 52 frankfurter-based dishes in the past year, I feel obligated to observe this holiday. But I’m sure as hellContinue reading National Hot Dog Day: Top Dogs!
I love these food holidays. I really do. Especially when they commemorate something as tasty as the Pig in a Blanket. And on a Wiener Wednesday of all days! It’s kismet. I am no stranger to the pig in a blanket. Here are a few of the refrigerated dough/weenie combos that have graced the pagesContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: National Pigs in a Blanket Day
Well, earlier this week I shared with you the New Year’s Eve Bubbly that my mum and I served up at our girls’ party; now I present to you the weenie portion of the party (of course there was a weenie dish!). This is, from Better Homes & Gardens Cooking with Cheese (1968), the appropriately named Swiss-FrankContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Swiss-Frank Roll-Ups
Hello, darlings. The world didn’t explode on the winter solstice, so here we are at the end of another calendar year. Can you believe it? I can’t. I really, really can’t. 2012 has been a year of high points (yay, job promotion!), low points, (R.I.P. Cleveland) and overall weirdness (basically everything involving OKCupid). But mostContinue reading 2012 Dinner is Served! Year in Review
