Remember how I did the Foodie Pen Pals last month? Well, it was such a great experience that I tried it again. And boy, am I glad that I did! I was matched with Hannah, a college student at Florida State University. She told me that baking is her forte, but I actually think thatContinue reading November Foodie Pen Pals

Wiener Wednesday: Dried Beef Log
Okay. I am well-aware that this isn’t a wiener dish. But the Thanksgiving holiday has totally messed with my blogging schedule since I was out of town for a week. You should be happy that there is a Wiener Wednesday at all! So, how am I going to justify this as a Wiener Wednesday? It’sContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Dried Beef Log
Wordless Wiener Wednesday
Liz & Dick starring Lindsay Lohan premieres on Lifetime this Sunday at 9pm!
BH&G Fondue and Table Top Cooking: Classic Cheese Fondue
Newsflash: November is National Fun with Fondue Month! So how fitting that I recently did a little fondue for 2! I have had a fondue pot for a while now but hadn’t had a good reason to bust it out–the fondue pot is a special occasion appliance, no? And I didn’t have a special occasion.Continue reading BH&G Fondue and Table Top Cooking: Classic Cheese Fondue
Wiener Wednesday: Sausage in Biscuits
This week’s recipe comes from Better Homes & Gardens Meat Cookbook (1971 edition) Sausage in Biscuits! That sounds tasty. Sausage: good. Biscuits: very good. Kinda like Nic’s British Sausage Rolls–which are just little pockets of heaven. But then you get into the recipe and realize that this is made from refrigerator biscuits, canned Vienna Sausages,Continue reading Wiener Wednesday: Sausage in Biscuits
Party Cheese Ball
Over the weekend I went to a little cocktail party hosted by my friends Rick and Ronny, the proprietors of a little antique shop called Retrofurn on the Avenue here in Baltimore. If you follow me on Facebook and twitter, then you are probably familiar with some of their mid-century modern merchandise because I’m re-postingContinue reading Party Cheese Ball
Wiener Wednesday: Blue Cheese Dogs
Hello, my little Frankophiles! It is Wiener Wednesday and by now all the votes have been counted. The people have spoken and we know that the president is——-oh, but I am writing this on Tuesday night! And I am blissfully unaware of what the returns are because I am watching Gymkata on Encore. You mightContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Blue Cheese Dogs
Happy Halloweenie Wednesday!
what emotion is my pumpkin giving here? I think Hurricane WTF!?! Happy Halloween (or at least this should post on Halloween if I did the future-post thing correctly)! I am writing this on Monday morning as I’m waiting for the big storm to hit and knock out my power. I wish that I had someContinue reading Happy Halloweenie Wednesday!
Wiener Wednesday: Tom Boy & Baby Hot Dogs with Pa’s Hot Dog Relish
Greetings! Welcome to Wiener Wednesday! I wish that I could start this out on a more positive note, but I want to kill myself right now. This post was epic, detailed, and covered a whole 2 and a half hours of Brian mouse-hunting, but it is no more. As I was backing up the postContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Tom Boy & Baby Hot Dogs with Pa’s Hot Dog Relish
BH&G Cooking for Two: Steak Night–Indoors
This dinner, from Better Homes & Gardens Cooking for Two, is one that I made a long time ago. Like months and months and months ago and never had anything much to say about it. And now—–well, I still don’t have anything to say about it. Holy crap, it is terribly difficult for me toContinue reading BH&G Cooking for Two: Steak Night–Indoors
Wiener Wednesday: Chicago Dog
On the recommendation of my friend Food Blog John, proprietor of the excellent Food & Wine Hedonist, I made a Chicago Dog for this week’s frank. Having never been to Chicago, I had not sampled a Chicago Dog, so I was looking forward to a new frankfurter experience. And since I’ve typed Chicago 3 timesContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Chicago Dog
Bourbon Bonfire
Welcome to autumn, bitches! There is definitely a chill in the air here in Baltimore. Fall has FINALLY arrived. To ward off those nippy nights, here is a little cocktail I concocted that is a twist on a Bourbon Furnace, which is traditionally hot cider, bourbon, whole cloves, and a cinnamon stick. I wanted to makeContinue reading Bourbon Bonfire
Wiener Wednesday: Chihuahua
Hola! Welcome to Wiener Wednesdays, my darlings! I’ve had guests for the past 2 weekends so I really haven’t had time to cook (faux McRib notwithstanding). I haven’t had time to grocery shop, either. So for this week’s Wiener Wednesday I just really pulled one out of my ass with what I had in myContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Chihuahua
WIENER WEDNESDAY: Super Tuber
Welcome to Wiener Wednesdays, kiddies! I’m so sorry that it’s been a couple weeks without a wiener-related post, but I’ve been doing that whole synergy thing with the Cock-a-Doodle and the Beef Tongue! But whatever. Today is a true WIENER WEDNESDAY! Now, I know that Dinner is Served is all about the retro recipes, butContinue reading WIENER WEDNESDAY: Super Tuber
Homemade McRib (yes, you read that correctly)
Have I told you that I like the McRib? Let me rephrase that. Have I told you that I love the McRib? If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you definitely aware. But for those of you who are unaware, I am a McRib lover. Although the McRib was first invented in 1981 andContinue reading Homemade McRib (yes, you read that correctly)
74. Tongue (Italian Style)
I know, I know, I know. Two weeks in a row without a Wiener Wednesday. But I’m giving you the only thing that could replace a Wednesday wiener, and that is tongue. I can’t even apologize for how dirty that sounds. All of the correspondence involving this dish was unintentionally lewd. But my favorite was thisContinue reading 74. Tongue (Italian Style)
Beverage Bonus: Boilermaker
By popular demand, here is another little story from my adventures in online dating. I think it’s a good (bad) one, although nowhere near as stupendous as my date at Elvis Tacos with Baltimore’s angriest little man, Rodney. Because I will never endure a date as bad as the one with Rodney. Fingers crossed. Oh,Continue reading Beverage Bonus: Boilermaker
