We’ve made it! It’s officially Liberace’s Birthday! And for it, I present to you his most-famous dish. I think of this as Liberace’s “single girl special” because it is simple, quick, and you probably have all of the necessary ingredients in your fridge right now. Plus! It only requires 1 dish. For everything. Cooking andContinue reading Liberace Special 15-Minute Eggs
This is a Throwback Thursday of sorts. I was sick yesterday, so I was home, high on Dayquil and napping. I thought that it would be a good time to start watching House of Cards, but WOW that knocked me out. I’ve heard such good things, I guess I’ll have to give it another try,Continue reading Beverage Bonus: The Liberace
Liberace Week rolls on! I love the way this recipe sounds. There’s almost a lilting melody to it. Say it out loud: Liberace’s Chicken Liver and Caper Canape! But before I get to the recipe, I want to point out how great this cookbooks is. No, not the cookbook in general, I mean this copyContinue reading Liberace’s Chicken Liver and Caper Canape
Liberace Cooks!, the awesome 1970 cookbook by Carol Truax, is divided into seven chapters, one for each of the dining rooms in his mansion (well, there are eight chapters if you include “Sauces, Sauces Everywhere”). Chapter VI, Room with a View, centers on the “blue room,” an L-shaped glass room featuring “an around-the-corner bar of quilted blueContinue reading Liberace’s Caviar Cheese Dip
You know what seems utterly impossible? The fact that I’ve posted on this damn thing 300 times! The green bean pie? Well, that was a piece of cake. Or, um, pie. Whatever. Like all the other Impossible Pies in the Bisquick “No Time to Cook” Recipe Book (1982), this was easy. Well, with the exception ofContinue reading Impossible Green Bean Pie (My 300th Post!)
I recently fell off the face of social media because my brother got married on Saturday and I was back home in Pittsburgh for 5 days. I tend to fall off the grid when I go home. I was my bro Nic’s BEST PERSON (which I am every day, but on Saturday it just happened toContinue reading 5. Stuffed Crown Roast of Pork
If you’ve ever wondered where I got my handle, click on the photo n’at. Also, I want to buy all of the bumper stickers.
Hold on a second. Haven’t we seen this card before? Um. yeah we have! This ad appears on the “About Dinner is Served!” page. Check it: That was a little bit of Deja Vu, amiright? Speaking of Deja Vu, have you ever been on a Deja Date? I have. Back in early March. OK, here’s theContinue reading 56. Sukiyaki
What the hell is with those lyrics? How about: who cares of you have kids? Just buy yourself a bun? Well, at least that’s what I’d be thinking. And why do the girls get first dibs on the buns? Hm. Questions that will never be answered. Anyway, Good Friday is Hot Cross Bun Day. I knowContinue reading Hot Cross Buns
I’ve been looking forward to this card because of its daffy photography. I love the massive bread knife and the sandwich made of sandwiches. Sadly, I did not make the sandwich filled with smaller sandwiches, for there are so few occasions that call for such a thing. And I don’t know exactly what those eggContinue reading 113. Ways With Bread
Although it first became popular in the US during the mid 1960s, few foods evoke the Avocado and Golden Harvest-hued era of the 1970s like fondue. I think that they might have been automatically issued to couples as soon as they got engaged. Doesn’t it seem like everyone’s parents had a set at one time?Continue reading April 11 is National Cheese Fondue Day!
Back in July of last year I shared with you 15. Pork Chops Florentine and the story of the Best Worst Date Ever (or was it the Worst Best Date Ever?). One of the most notable details of the date was the guy’s car—a Jaguar convertible with an iridescent paint job. A purple iridescent paintContinue reading Friday Flashback
Oh, what a wonderful day to be alive! Who doesn’t like a good peanut butter sandwich? Aside from those allergic to the peanut, of course. I actually brought peanut butter and jelly into work today to make a PB&J for my breakfast. I’m celebrating in style! Here is today’s sandwich: And of course, it wouldn’tContinue reading Happy PB&J Day!
Another Bisquick Impossible Pie! And this is the first time I went sweet and not savory. To refresh your memory, in addition to completing the Dinner is Served! cards this year, I also want to make all 12 Impossible Pies from The Bisquick “No Time to Cook” Recipe Book. Taco, Lasagna, and Quesadilla have already beenContinue reading Bisquick Impossible Buttermilk Pie
If everyone else can have a Throwback Thursday, why can’t I have a Friday Flashback? I just love this frickin’ photo. I have it in my living room. I hope my mum isn’t mad that I shared it. Everyone have happy weekend!
I bring you CARD NUMBER EIGHTY-FOUR! Ok, that’s a lie. Leah actually brought card number 84. She made the burgers and the assorted toppings and the lima-bean cucumber salad. I just made the dessert, but I’ll get to that later. But since I just mentioned the assorted toppings, let me draw your attention to thatContinue reading 84. Grilled Hamburgers (with Lima Bean and Cucumber Salad)
You know, every once in a while I just have a hankering for a can of Chef Boyardee Meat Ravioli. Or, ‘labbyloobies’ as my elementary school friend, Jessica, would call them. I have no idea why in the hell she called them that. But whatever you call them, they are delicious. In that gross, schoolContinue reading Happy National Ravioli Day!
OK, this post is totally random (but it’s my blog and I can write about whatever the hell I want to); one of the little news tidbits I heard today was that Brittany Murphy’s final movie is being released—more than 4 years after her death. I always liked her. Maybe because back when I waitressedContinue reading Musings on Brittany Murphy
