So back in 2019 (one week ago) I was invited to a New Year’s Eve party at the home of some of Mr. Sauce’s dear college friends. Me, being me, I always have to bring something to a party–and if it’s a dish from my collection of cookbooks, that’s even better. But what to choose?Continue reading Happy New Year! Sherry Wine Cheese Spread (1980)
If you follow me on social media, I know you that you know that Dinner is Served 1972 is going to appear this week on Food Network’s Chopped. But if you don’t follow me on social media–guess what? Dinner is Served 1972 is appearing on Chopped! The episode is called A Very Brady Chopped. SoContinue reading Florence Henderson’s “Wessonality” Chef Salad (1980)
I hate summer. I really do. I hate the heat and the sun and the bugs and the sweat. The only thing I remotely like is floating in a swimming pool–but I really hate bathing suits, so that kind of cancels it out. It is supposed to be in the mid-80s today and I thinkContinue reading McCall’s Cooking School: Cobb Salad (1985)
So, the blog has been quiet for a while now. If you follow my instagram or the facebook page, you know that the main reason is because Mr. Sauce, Esq. and I toured the southeast for our collective birthdays. And I think I’m still recuperating from it! We drove from Atlanta to New Orleans. 10Continue reading Artichoke Soup (1985)
So, is it as hot wherever you are as it is here? We’re enjoying another Code Red Heat Alert Day here in Baltimore City. That basically means that no matter what you do, as soon as you get outside–you’re gonna have swamp ass. Triple degree heat indexes for everyone! I am currently enjoying central AC,Continue reading BH&G All-Time Favorite Salad Recipes: Crab-Stuffed Avocados (1984)
IT’S THE PIEATHALON! Can you believe it’s been 5 years? I can’t. I really can’t. In the five years since I’ve been the mastermind behind Pieathalon: Brian and I moved out of the old apartment (Seafoam Cantaloupe Pie) I bought a house and adopted Margot (Melton Mowbray Pie) I was the traumatized by said house andContinue reading 5th Annual Pieathalon: Kate’s Pie (1985)
Well, I found another cookbook that I desperately want–the 1998 WMMR RocknRoll Celebrity Cookbook. “I promise you that I do cook myself (as taught to me by my good friend, Francesca Boglione).” Really, David? I don’t see him eating let alone cooking. I mean, According to David Buckley, the author of the book Strange Fascination: David Bowie: TheContinue reading David Bowie’s Penne Putanesca (1988)
So, it turned out that I didn’t make all 12 the Bisquick Impossible Pies from The Bisquick “No Time To Cook Recipe Book” (1983) like I thought I did. I don’t know how I missed one, but I did–Zucchini-Tomato Pie. I love me an Impossible pie. I say this to Impossible Pies: That is, except forContinue reading Bisquick Impossible Pies: Zucchini-Tomato Pie
So last week I started watching The Wire with Mr. Sauce. I was hesitant to watch it for so long because: Baltimore. But I figured that after 8 years, I should finally watch it. It took me a few eps, but now I’m in it to win it. I think this scene sealed the dealContinue reading The Potters’ Guild of Baltimore Cookbook Taco Dip
If you have been reading my blog for a while, you might remember that I love produce grab bags. As in you get a box or bag and it’s just random stuff. In the past I’ve done Arganica, Relay Food and Hungry Harvest. I liked them all, but these were all really expensive, even HungryContinue reading Broccoli Cheese Soup (1985)
Round ’em up, little dogies! National Day of the Cowboy is July 24th! In honor of the occasion, Greg over at Recipes For Rebels (also the name of his James Dean-themed cookbook) decided to host an ol’ fashioned cook-along blog-along hootenanny. He was nice enough to invite me over to whip up a dish. AlthoughContinue reading Jon Voight’s Artichokes, California-Style
It’s here! It’s here! It’s the Pieathalon! My assigned recipe was sent to me by Greg from Recipes4Rebels. “Peanuts and beer are frequent partners–for snacking, at the ball park, at parties. So what a natural idea it would be to combine peanuts and beer in a sweet dessert pie…” I don’t know if it’s reallyContinue reading PIEATHALON 3: Peanuts-and-Beer Pie
How old does that make you feel? Yeah, this month, thirty years ago, Pretty in Pink premiered. Of all the John Hughes films, Pretty in Pink is my favorite. And not just because of James Spader’s portrayl of Steff: It also has one of my favorite movie lines in history. You probably are well awareContinue reading Happy 30th Birthday, Pretty in Pink!
Hi. As everyone in the western world knows, Mr. David Bowie left Planet Earth late Sunday night. This made me incredibly sad. Surprisingly so. I cried in the car on the way to work today when his duet of “Little Drummer Boy” with Bing Crosby came on the radio. I dunno, it just gave meContinue reading David Bowie’s Shrimp Tempura (1978)
Hello, darlings. I threw myself a big birthday party! And I made a ton of dishes from my cookbook collection for the occasion. It was a hefty spread and I am looking forward to sharing them with you. But I guess I wasn’t looking forward to it that much because I’m an Aquarius. That meansContinue reading Velveeta South of the Border Dip
Seasons greetings, kittens! I have been at Casa de Mum & Dad for the past few days and we’re getting our holly jolly on. Yesterday my mum and I drove up to scenic Zelienople, PA to pick up our Christmas ham at Herb Brittner’s Smokehouse and Radiator Shop. We stopped by Carol’s Bakery on MainContinue reading Bisquick Impossible Brunch Pie
Another one bites the dust! Granted, I made this back when Todd was still living in Baltimore (so, that means, yes, over the summer), but I just didn’t get to writing about it until now. Because I am a slacker. And not like in a cool Reality Bites kind of way–because I have a goddamned mortgage–I’mContinue reading Bisquick Impossible Bacon Pie
December 8 is (was) National Brownie Day! Please accept my apology for this late post, but I went home this weekend for “Thanksgiving.” On actual Thanksgiving, I was in Baltimore at a Friendsgiving and my parents, bro, and SIL were in NYC with SIL’s family. So I was busy this weekend. We got our ChristmasContinue reading Bisquick Impossible Brownie Pie
