Yesterday William Shatner turned 86. Dammit I missed it. And I was even assigned a dish of his to make by Jenny over at Silver Screen Suppers for a top-secret project she has going on. And I’ve made it (FYI, it was yummy) I just don’t have the photos on hand. Or the time toContinue reading Happy Birthday, William Shatner!
Let’s kick it off the week with this tasty hunk of meat: I miss you, Bob Benson. And I miss you, Mad Men. Here’s another look at that glorious Thanksgiving apron (and the gorgeous man wrapped in it): He is a cutie.
For some reason, in my Pieathalon Peanuts-and-Beer Pie post, my use of a double boiler just fascinated people. I guess because so few people own them? Well, this is the one that I actually used to make that pie: And this is the one that Mr. Kinsey gave me for my own personal use: Isn’tContinue reading On Double Boilers…and Happy 4th of July!
March 30 is Turkey Neck Day. And yesterday was Chiffon Cake Day. So today I’m re-posting, all the way back from 2011, No. 9, Lentil Soup. Because in it, I both cook with turkey necks and bake a chiffon cake. Enjoy!
Yep. I got the little WordPress notification yesterday. February 24th was the day of my first post. Which was basically THIS: So far I have learned that I need a lot to learn about blogging. I think that the cooking part of this whole thing will be much easier. I am still trying to find whereContinue reading Happy 5th Anniversary, Dinner is Served 1972!

Cara Cara Margarita 1 and 1/2 jiggers tequila 1/2 jigger triple sec 1/2 tsp lime juice 2 jiggers fresh-squeezed Cara Cara juice. In a shaker with ice, combine allContinue reading Cara Cara Margarita & Rick’s Chickpeas
How old does that make you feel? Yeah, this month, thirty years ago, Pretty in Pink premiered. Of all the John Hughes films, Pretty in Pink is my favorite. And not just because of James Spader’s portrayl of Steff: It also has one of my favorite movie lines in history. You probably are well awareContinue reading Happy 30th Birthday, Pretty in Pink!
It’s National Mulled Cider Day! So I have to pull this one out of the archives, like I do every year. Is it autumnal where you are? It’s still a bit stuffy here. But I think starting tomorrow we might be entering sweater weather…
Well, I feel like I’ve missed it all! Seriously. I’ve missed the blog, you guys. I’m going out on 4 dates this week. Four. All with different guys. One already happened (very nice young man. Army. I’d definitely give him a 2nd date if there is an offer). But because I was out, I missed the 1st episodeContinue reading ICYMI
OMG. If only I could somehow make it to Las Vegas…
Be sure to stock up on Shark Repellent Bat-Spray!
Just remember, kittens: adjacent to refuse, is refuse. Watch the scene here. Now go to Dunkin Donuts and get yourself an eclair.
Hello, my little chickadees! It’s been a while, right? Well, with the exception of my recent cocktail posts. I haven’t done actual food as of late. Not to make excuses (although this is an excuse), but I think I’m still tired from the Mad Men party last month! I’ve been cooking a lot, but gettingContinue reading Ramp-O-Rama: Ramp Pesto with Artichokes & Hearts of Palm
Today, April 23, is the birthday of Ms. Shirley Temple Black. So let’s toast this Hollywood icon with her namesake cocktail!
According to THIS website, today is LIBERACE DAY. Now, it’s not his birthday, because that’s on May 16 (remember? I did an entire week of Liberace-inspired dishes). So why would today of all days be Liberace Day? Oh, who cares? Any excuse to pull out photos of our good friend Lee! BTW, did you hearContinue reading Liberace Day?
SORRY–all of the photos are broken and I no longer have the original files. Seasons greetings, kittens! I have been at Casa de Mum & Dad for the past few days and we’re getting our holly jolly on. Yesterday my mum and I drove up to scenic Zelienople, PA to pick up our Christmas hamContinue reading Bisquick Impossible Brunch Pie
It’s official. Yinzer, a.k.a. the official language of Pittsburgh, has been voted the WORST ACCENT IN AMERICA! I am oddly proud. Here is a fabulous example of the horrendous accent: As is this: I chose this Pittsburgh Dad one because I will be making a sojourn to IKEA this weekend–for my new hause n’at. IContinue reading Yinz Sound Like Jagoffs
I have been slacking on the blog-front because I’m kinda busy. Like, super-busy. Do you see that giant pile of crap behind Britney? Those are boxes. Why are there so many boxes, you ask…?
