Card 171 is noteworthy because it is the last Dinner is Served 1972 dinner prepared in my house.
Yeah, if I hadn’t mentioned it already, I MOVED! Back in April I relocated Dinner Is Served HQ from my little early 1910-ish Baltimore row home and moved into a high-rise condo that was built in the late 1970s.
But before I get into that, here is Rosy Pork Chops:
This was so long ago that I can’t even tell you how it was, but I got to use my Veg-O-Matic for the parsleyed potato sticks, which made me very happy. And I made strawberry fluff. So, that was all a win. It was also the first dinner I cooked for Mr. Sauce, Esq.
Now back to the condo! It was move-in ready, but I got rid of some bad wallpaper and did a bit of kitchen renovation.
Click through to see before and afters.
One of the reasons I picked this condo is because there was a built-in just waiting to hold my cookbooks (and my autographed photo of Tom Selleck).
And there was room for me to buy this super-sweet bar:
I love my new place. I really do.

I have never been so jealous of a piece of furniture in my life. Your little jutting out breakfast bar thing where you can sit, all on your ownsome and eat your din dins. GAD. I have to move my kitchen bin every time I want to eat my dinner. Want to do a flat-swap sometime?!
Your new place looks fabulous. Jx
Thank you, hon! Come visit :)
Holy crap! Magnificent! Tom Selleck looks like he's in his natural habitat.
He lords over my apartment and looks down on all of us.
That bar is most excellent!
Yeah, it can also be used as a room divider, which is pretty cool. I'm happy to have so much more storage.
New place looks great Yinzie :-)
Thanks!
Wow! What a beautiful place, and I love your furnishings!
Thank you, Maureen!
I especially love the phone corner in the kitchen with the yellow step/chair!!!!!
Since I am so short, that stool has come in mighty handy!
That wall phone...
It wasn't out-going. It just calls the front desk. I assume that it could be used as a landline. I have it in my closet. If you have a use for it. It's yours!
Oh my God!! That bar is soooo super sweet!! I know you did not get rid of that phone in the kitchen. My heart breaks. I love it, it is so you. I hope the Boitanos will be happy here.
It's a house phone. I had it taken out so I could put it in the breakfast bar. I do still have the original phone--it's in a closet.
Congratulations on your new home! I love your furniture and how you arranged the rooms. I hope you'll have many happy years there.
Thanks so much--it's been really fun decorating!
