I’m not a fan of seafood that is not of the crustacean variety. I’ve mentioned that fact every time a fish card is drawn. In some cases I have been pleasantly surprised, and in others I’m all “I still don’t like fish” and in the case of #28 Tuna-Cheese-Macaroni-Loaf I was all “screw you, fish!”Continue reading 11.

6. Deviled Rock Lobster Tails
First things first. I have to get this out of my system: Okay! Now we can get down to business. #6 Deviled Rock Lobster Tails. I chose this menu for 2 reasons: 1. lobster tails were on sale for $6.99 each (yeah, pricey. But who knows when they’d be on sale again). 2. I wanted toContinue reading 6. Deviled Rock Lobster Tails
101. Potato Salad
I haven’t posted in a while because I have been out of commission for a bit. Last weekend I was back in the Burgh for the holiday weekend and then as soon as I got home I came down with a bit of a cold. In turn, Cleve has come down with the same thing.Continue reading 101. Potato Salad
42. Stuffed Zucchini
Frugality was supposed to be an ongoing theme with my blog, but has recently gotten tossed by the wayside because of big ticket ingredients like the spareribs and leg of lamb. And wow, my monthly grocery budget has reflected that. So for this meal I wanted to get back to the cheap. Which I totallyContinue reading 42. Stuffed Zucchini
Readers' Choice Part Deux
OK, so a while back I said that I was going to take votes for which meal I should make for my 25th dinner. Well, needless to say, that really didn’t pan out. I just made Stuffed Zucchini, so I’m on my 26th. So I am bringing back the poll and aim for when IContinue reading Readers' Choice Part Deux
8. Quiche Lorraine (Swiss Cheese Pie)
First, I propose a toast. To me. This was my 25th meal. I have officially served dinner 25 times. I am about 20% towards my goal. So I raise my scotch and soda to myself. Em (Miz Yinzerella if you’re nasty), you are totally awesome and this blog is awesome and it’s fantastically awesome thatContinue reading 8. Quiche Lorraine (Swiss Cheese Pie)
16. Pennsylvania Baked Spareribs
I am going to say it right off the bat: I love Pennsylvania Baked Spareribs. #16 is definitely one of my top 3 favorite Dinner is Served! meals thus far. But you might be asking yourself the same thing I did when I chose this meal: what the hell are Pennsylvania Baked Spareribs? When IContinue reading 16. Pennsylvania Baked Spareribs
2. Veal Chops With Mushroom Sauce
Do you see how short this recipe card is? Do you know how awesome that is? Let me tell you–it is super-awesome. So super-awesome that I made this a weeknight meal. Now, to do it to Dinner is Served! specifications, I did make the ‘Jellied Fruit Salad’ the day before. Yeah, you know what thatContinue reading 2. Veal Chops With Mushroom Sauce
80. Tuna on Toasted English Muffins
Tuna on Toasted English Muffins *sigh.* Goddamned canned tuna. Pretty organic grapefruit! I have never liked canned tuna, even more so after Tuna Cheese Macaroni Loaf. But I chose #80 for my latest meal because I already had canned tuna in the house and a grapefruit was the last unused item from my Arganica Farm Club crateContinue reading 80. Tuna on Toasted English Muffins
55. Hamburger Pie
First things first. And I don’t want everyone to get too excited…but #55 has a JELL-O MOLD!!! I know that I shouldn’t be put-off by the phrase “Hamburger Pie,” because there are many perfectly good pies that involve meat. Chicken Pot Pie and Shepherd’s Pie, for instance. But seriously, doesn’t Hamburger Pie sound a littleContinue reading 55. Hamburger Pie
18. Sweet and Sour Shrimp
1970s at-home Chinese cuisine. Let that idea marinate in your brain for a bit. Scary, right? I went into #18 with a bit of trepidation just because I really love Chinese food and despise Wok and Roll, LaChoy mall food court Chinese food. I have cooked a lot of Chinese food in my day. InContinue reading 18. Sweet and Sour Shrimp
19. Glazed Rock Cornish Game Hens
As you all know, Friday was the Royal Wedding. (I think you’d have to be blackout drunk for the past 4 months to be unaware of it). Anyway, although I’m not a huge Anglophile (Absolutely Fabulous and Morrissey excluded), I wanted to make something decidedly British in honor of Kate and William’s nuptials. But theContinue reading 19. Glazed Rock Cornish Game Hens
13. Marinated Lamb Roast. An Easter X-travaganza!
Lamb on Easter Sunday has been a family tradition for as long as I can remember. So I was very happy that Dinner is Served! was so kind as to have provided a lamb roast-centric card in its cavalcade of meals. Only one problem with #13: it is a roast. That means I have toContinue reading 13. Marinated Lamb Roast. An Easter X-travaganza!
Readers' Choice!
I have already served dinner 17 times. I am so close to hitting 20. To commemorate this wondrous achievement I want to give you, all 12 of my readers, a chance to pick what I cook next. It’s like a Choose Your Own Adventure book, but you’re choosing my destiny. So instead of something likeContinue reading Readers' Choice!
32. Pot Roast in Foil
Musings pre-#32: I confess that I have made this meal before. I think I might have mentioned it on the ‘about’ page. I prepared #32 back in November of 2009 (wow, is that right?) as part of a bet that Cleve and I had regarding the Pittsburgh mayoral race that year. The stakes were asContinue reading 32. Pot Roast in Foil
43. New England Boiled Dinner for "The Kennedys"
All last week Cleve and I were willing hostages in our own home. We committed ourselves to The Kennedys, the much-maligned 8-part mini-series that was produced by The History Channel and then subsequently dumped because of ‘historical inaccuracy.’ A few other networks passed on it as well and it ended up on something called the Reelz Channel,Continue reading 43. New England Boiled Dinner for "The Kennedys"
29. Meat Loaf
I wish that could be the entire post. Or “I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That).” But did Chazz get you psyched for some loaf? A loaf of meat? I’m talking about a loaf of meat!!!! Click for more if you like loaf. LOAF!
67. Tamale Pie
I’ve been very dilligent on the cooking-end of Dinner is Served! but I must admit that I’ve gotten a little behind on the posting. So it’s not until now that I give you #67, Tamale Pie. Please keep in mind I don’t remember how long ago I made it and I apparently did not take anyContinue reading 67. Tamale Pie
