Last week I told you that, in honor of the upcoming Blu-Ray box-set release of Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery, I’d be dedicating Tuesdays to Twin Peaks. Here is a series of deliciously weird coffee advertisements that ran in Japan in 1993. It seems like a no brainer to use Agent Cooper and Co. to shillContinue reading Twin Peaks Tuesday: Georgia Coffee
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
Tonight is the finale of the FX mini-series Fosse/Verdon and I wanted to mark the occasion–as I tend to do with television shows (see: X-Files and Twin Peaks). I’d love the show just for the dance numbers, but GIVE JEN LINDLEY ALL OF THE AWARDS RIGHT NOW! I really should have cooked for the entireContinue reading Gwen Verdon & Bob Fosse’s Mexican Breakfast
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
FINALLY! After weeks of teasing yinz guys, I finally threw my Mad Men Party featuring recipes from The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook by Judy Gelman and Peter Zheutlin in honor of the end of the show. My shindig was just one part of an entire virtual Mad Men party with other bloggers from around theContinue reading How We Partied like Mad Men for the End of Mad Men
Oh. Em. Gee. THE X-FILES is coming back!!! This is the SECOND best thing to happen to me in the past year, right behind the Blu-Ray release of Twin Peaks (remember, I did a slew of Tuesdays devoted to that) and then the announcement that David Lynch is going to revisit Twin Peaks in 2016 on Showtime.Continue reading The Truth is Still Out There!
Sorry I’ve been AWOL, kittens. But I do have a very good reason–I just moved into my very own house! The house is a work in progress. Very much a work in progress. In the second bedroom it looks a closet exploded–just clothes and clothes and clothes everywhere. And there are boxes filled with random shitContinue reading Microwave Jack O’ Lantern Salad
OK, I lied in my last post. I did take a picture of the finished casserole. I just used my phone and not my fancy-ass camera. So there it is. In all it’s corny, cheesy glory. Like I said yesterday, this was delicious. A real winner. Make it.
It’s Cher’s birthday! And in honor of this special day, I am sharing the recipe for one of her own dishes. It’s from this cookbook: (I totally want a copy!) Although this recipe could have just as easily come from this one: You may remember Singers & Swingers from when I made the Rolling Stones’Continue reading Cher’s Meatballs
Over the past few days I’ve really got into the Halloween spirit. This past week my office had an autumn pot-luck lunch. What to make? What to make? With my collection of vintage cookbooks, I had to go retro, of course! And what says mid-century better than Jell-O? Uh, nothing! Considering I had lemon Jell-OContinue reading Tricks and Treats!
First things first. And I don’t want everyone to get too excited…but #55 has a JELL-O MOLD!!! I know that I shouldn’t be put-off by the phrase “Hamburger Pie,” because there are many perfectly good pies that involve meat. Chicken Pot Pie and Shepherd’s Pie, for instance. But seriously, doesn’t Hamburger Pie sound a littleContinue reading 55. Hamburger Pie
October is National Pork Month! In honor of the occasion, here’s a retrospective of Dinner Is Served 1972 cards featuring pork chops, ribs, and roasts. What a trip down Memory Lane (Card No. 15 includes an epic dating tale)! (also, I cannot crack the formatting here from copying and pasting. So please ignore it!) 15.Continue reading October is National Pork Month!

Greetings and salutations! It’s been a while since I’ve unmolded something for the blog. And I angered a lot of people with my Jell-O fail on Christmas Eve:
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
It’s another Wiener Wednesday! Today we go back to the year 1966 and the Woman’s Day Encyclopedia of Cookery. Vol. 5 This volume includes and entire Frankfurter Cookbook. The Frankfurter is indeed very versatile, Woman’s Day magazine. I concur! It is the applesauce here that caught my eye. How could it not? Look at thatContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Stuffed Broiled Frankfurters
DO YOU KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS? IT’S PIEATHALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! Yes, for the 4th year my food blogger friends and I exchanged pie recipes and got baking! (click here to see pies of years past) Except I didn’t exchange recipes. There was a mix up with people being left off and then dropped out and thenContinue reading PIEATHALON 4: Betty Crocker’s Chicken-Sausage Pies (1965)
