If so, I have the house for you! Here’s what the listing agent has to say: …Crafted of Valley Forge stone, this classic home boastsContinue reading Well, it Looks Nice From the Outside…
Obligatory Cinco de Mayo post!!! Does this even qualify as a tostada? How can this be considered a tostada? A tostada is like a flat taco. Not Fritos with ground beef slathered on it. With this dish, the beef doesn’t even go on top of them. The chips are around them. Speaking of the beef,Continue reading 139. Tostada Dinner
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
Hello! My friends, how I’ve missed you! I’ve never neglected the blog for so many weeks at a time (I’m not going to count the last post). Right now I’ll just blame my neglect on the fact that I have been busy moving Mr. Sauce into my apartment. And I don’t remember much about 172,Continue reading 172. Chicken Breasts, French Style
This card is from the 1973 series, and originally appeared on the blog on March 14, 2017. I am sharing this not just because April 12 is National Grilled Cheese Day, but because there is a GIANT update to this post. I lived in my row house at the time and had battened down theContinue reading Happy National Grilled Cheese Day!
It’s the first Friday of Lent (if you’re into that kind of thing). And since it’s the first Friday of Lent, I assume that those who do follow the teachings of Cathol are looking for a good Friday fish dish. And so I give you my homemade Filet o’ Fish thanks to the McDonald’s FiletContinue reading Canada Box: Filet O’ Fish Sauce
It’s time for some Poutine! This is one of those dishes that I knew about for so long but had never given it a whirl. And to be honest, I don’t know if I had ever tried it before. So when I made this one weeknight evening, I not only got to introduce Poutine toContinue reading Canada Box: St. Huber Poutine Gravy Mix
Happy Groundhog Day! Dear friends, Greetings from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania! Actually, nearby DuBois, PA because Punxy is teeny-tiny. Regardless, I AM HERE! Waking up at 4:30 am EST tomorrow to get on a bus and go to Gobbler’s Knob and watch a groundhog be pulled out of a burrow as drunken people cheer. I have alwaysContinue reading Happy Groundhog Day 2018!
My Celebration of Canadian Food Stuffs rolls on with card 186, which features Canadian Bacon. First, let me tell you about the Canadian bacon. Mr. Sauce, Esq. and I wanted to be all autumnal back in October and do a corn-maze/pumpkin picking day. We found a little farm in Woodstock, MD called Strohmer’s. WeContinue reading 186. Chocolate Ripple Coffee Cake (with Canadian Bacon)
This year is over. Finally. Our national nightmare rages on, but we made it to the other side of Year One. And January 2 is (was) National Buffet Day! (I started writing this yesterday but didn’t post until today, so sue me). Question: what is the difference between a smorgasbord, a potluck, or a buffet?Continue reading New Year Chinese Feast 2017 (Happy National Buffet Day!)
“McDonald’s uses a secret sauce with a cult following you didn’t know existed” True. I didn’t know that it existed. But now I do. It’s McChicken sauce. From Canada. Now, domestic McChickens are slathered with regular ol’ mayo, but all of Canada lost its collective mind when this hit store shelves because people like itContinue reading Canada Box: McChicken Sauce
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.Continue reading 171. Rosy Glazed Pork Chops
Back in October, I found out that McDonald’s Big Mac sauce was available in bottles. But only in Canada. I expressed my disappointment on my Facebook page and DiS!1972-fan Alicia offered to send me Big Mac sauce as well as Filet o’ Fish Sauce and McChicken Sauce (McChicken sauce is something I will get intoContinue reading Canada Box: Big Mac Sauce
So, Jenny over at Silver Screen Suppers informed me that there is another little blogathon going on this weekend. This time, focusing on food that appears in–or is inspired by–a film. Hence, the fitting hashtag #FoodInFilm. Well, that’s right up my alley! For my #FoodInFilm submission I chose one of my all-time favorites, the movieContinue reading #FoodInFilm “Bye Bye Birdie” Pink Champagne
In honor of today being National Seafood Bisque Day, I am presenting to you an UPDATED & REVISED version of this post, which appeared on DiS1972 exactly one year ago today…. Back in June 2016, I was at the wedding of two of my dear friends Erin & Anthony. At my assigned table it wasContinue reading It’s National Seafood Bisque Day!
Today is October 10 and it is currently 82 degrees out. At 5:30pm. I am sick of this bullshit. It’s supposed to be fall now. I want it to be fall so desperately that I am making an apple-pork dish regardless of how hot it is. So, I decided to make this on a weeknight.Continue reading 127. Pork Ribs and Apple Rings
OK, so in August people went absolutely ballistic for the Eclipse. On Facebook and Next Door, people were frantically looking for eclipse glasses because they were sold out everywhere. Well, the week before, I bought a 5 for $15 pack for myself and Mr. Sauce, Esq. I only needed 2 pairs so I sold theContinue reading The Eclipicnic
