Gonna tell you right off the bat that this was delicious. And super-easy. I marinated the flank steak the night before, hard-boiled the eggs for the salad, and made the cream cake roll that morning (that will be detailed in a later post). I’m happy to report that No. 168 started at 5:20 pmContinue reading 168. Skewered Flank Steak
I marinated the steak over night, but when it was time to cook dinner, I failed to read the entire recipe card (which is apparently a problem of mine as of late. Much like Alexia on the Real Housewives of Miami when she kept insisting that Adriana’s boyfriend is married because she didn’t scroll downContinue reading 131. Zippy Sirloin Strips
Happy National Liver & Onions Day! Today we’re going to delve into the archives for the occasion. A version of this post first appeared on the DiS1972 blog August 2, 2012. I decided to make No. 33 for my friend, Claire. Before she arrived, I assembled the Jellied-Lime Cucumber Salad and the Jelly Roll. IContinue reading National Liver & Onions Day: 33. Liver a la Gourmet
This is the runner-up in the you-decide-what-ground-beef-dish-I-should-cook poll. I actually made it the day after Baked Stuffed Cheese-Burger (can’t waste that ground beef!), but have not gotten around to posting it until today. You see, I’ve had a lot going on. Actually millions of things going on; I live in Maryland, which is ground zeroContinue reading 142. Meat Loaf Mexicali
Last week you voted and the winner is 129. Baked Cheese-Burger! Looks pretty simple. And I didn’t have to buy a damn thing. I appreciate that the 1973 dinners are pared down considerably from the original DiS1972 set–so many of the cards are multi-hour affairs, but a good number of the 1973 dinners only takeContinue reading 129. Baked Cheese-Burger
I hate it when I get to DiS1972 cards that I basically have NOTHING to say about. I didn’t take any sort of notes so all I can really do is present the card: And then post the finished picture: You know what it tasted like? Beef smothered in Hormel Vegetarian Chili (with Beans). ToppedContinue reading 202. Chili Steaks
What do you do when your month of Wiener Wednesdays collides with Hannibal Week? You make a sausage-centric dish from Feeding Hannibal, that’s what! This is Heart With Sausage Stuffing. I could also just repost that time I made homemade sausages using the recipe from the cards I bought in the Hannibal Prop Store auction,Continue reading Wiener Wednesday: Hannibal’s Heart with Sausage Stuffing
Welcome to The Lost Family Virtual Supper Club! I am so happy to be one of the bloggers invited to celebrate the release of Jenna Blum’s latest novel, The Lost Family with a cookalong! The book is a saga which revolves around Auschwitz survivor and restauranteur Peter Rashkin, his glamourous young wife, June, and their daughter Elsbeth.Continue reading The Lost Family Virtual Dinner Party ft. 158. Beef Wellington
Hello, kittens! Here’s a quickie right before tonight’s episode of FEUD: Bette & Joan. This time I took a page out of Bette Davis’ cookbook–not that there is one, like Joan’s. (Remember! You can win a copy of Cooking With Joan Crawford, complied by Jenny Hammerton by entering the sweepstakes HERE). But here’s Bette’s RedContinue reading Bette Davis’ Red Flannel Hash
Hello again! It’s been a week since election day and what a shit week it’s been. I didn’t take the election too well (understatement), work is all shades of meh, and both Brian and Margot have fleas! So for the past couple of days I’ve been doing nothing but flea combing (gross), sprinkling diatomaceous earthContinue reading Hannibal Lecter’s Beef Tongue w. Horseradish
My parents came into town over Memorial Day weekend and I threw a party so they could meet all of my friends (especially Manny!) whom they have heard many, many stories about but never met in real life. I picked this Chili Buffet from 1977 because I could make everything in advance of the partyContinue reading Tequila Punch & Chili Buffet (1977)
Hello, friends and fellow Fannibals! Did any of you bid on some lots in the Hannibal TV show auction 2 months ago? I did. Because I am crazy and had money to burn (my fantasy team this year–Hannibal Lecter’s Facemask–went all the way). A lot of great stuff was on the auction block–clothing, furniture, knives–butContinue reading Hannibal Lecter’s Pork Liver w. Bacon
What was special about 79? It wasn’t the food–because I kinda shit the bed on the Sauce Bearnaise. It’s that the photography was much improved! No, not that photography–because that, dear friends, is pretty standard (although now I think that the blurry card photos are part of the blog’s charm). It’s this photography: Because thereContinue reading 79. Beef Medallions (Sauce Bearnaise)
For Christmas Day, the fam and I did what we have done every year since whenever it was we retired the goose. We made a big ol’ Prime Rib. I really love Prime Rib. Prime Rib. Huh. So they (whoever the hell THEY is) say that women in their 30s are supposedly in their “sexualContinue reading 70. Roast Beef (Standing Rib)
This is an updated version of a post that appeared in August, 2012. There are more delicious dishes than last time! Hi, darlings! I want to give you some ideas for your Labor Day cookouts, picnics, clam bakes, or whatever it is that you do to celebrate the labor of the, um, we remember theContinue reading Happy Labor Day 2015!
Well, here we are. I am so excited for the last episode of Hannibal to see how they end the Red Dragon story, but so utterly bummed because it’s most likely that this is the last we see of this fan-fucking-tastic show. Oh, Hannigram, how much I will miss thee! However, I am riddled with guiltContinue reading One Kidney, Two Ways: for the Love of Hannigram
It’s here! It’s here! The season 3 premiere of the best damn show on television, Hannibal! I can’t say enough about this phenomenal television series. And, for serious, yinz guys, why aren’t you watching it yet? I absolutely love Hannibal. It has all the trademarks of a show that I would be totally down withContinue reading Hannibal the Cannibal Canapes Burgundy
Snow day! Snow day! Snow day! Yeah, here in Baltimore we are getting hit by quite the winter (spring?) storm. And everything is closed. EVERYTHING. It is supposed to snow until 5pm tonight, but look at what I’ve got outside my window before noon: My street doesn’t even look like a street. I don’t think I’llContinue reading 27.
