I was an odd child–for many reasons–but one particular reason is that, as a wee one, I devoured any and all shellfish and mollusks. I loved raw oysters and clams. I ate my first whole lobster at the age of 5, much to the disappointment of my parents, who bought two for a celebratory dinnerContinue reading 170. Tuna Patties
Happy National Macaroni Day! To celebrate, here’s a DiS1972 humdinger of a dinner which first appeared on the blog in March of 2011…. I am a firm believer that the only thing that should come in loaf-form is bread. Even standard ol’ meatloaf is pushing it. It is a line that should never be crossed.Continue reading Happy National Macaroni Day!!!
Another day, another DiS1972 dinner completed! I picked this card because I had everything on hand with the exception of fish. Well, I had fish in the freezer, but it’s cod and I don’t know how well cod would roll up around broccoli. So I went to the store and bought some flounder. For myContinue reading 187. Fillet Roll-Ups
Google “Polynesian Tuna” and this is the first result (from wikipedia): In Polynesian mythology, Tuna is the god of eels who was sentenced to be executed (by the Upolo) after trying to sexually assault Sina (who had grown him in a jar). He asked that his severed head be buried in the sand and from it, the first coconut palm grew. Me, after readingContinue reading 126. Polynesian Tuna
It’s National Nut Day! So here is a dish that features almonds, Sauteed Trout Almondine. However, my version of Sauteed Trout Almondine contained neither trout nor almonds. I know, I know, I know. That totally negates the entire purpose of the dish. I couldn’t find trout! So I pivoted. The traditional Almondine (actually, Amondine–we AmericanizedContinue reading 164. Sauteed Trout Almondine
Now, after the fever dream that was 197. Pork Chops and Scalloped Potatoes, I present a more conventional post–one that a revolves around the act of cooking and the food. I even took detailed, time-stamped notes like I used to back in the day. Speaking of back in the day, I made this so long agoContinue reading 151. Baked Stuffed Redsnapper Fillets
It’s the first Friday of Lent (if you’re into that kind of thing). And since it’s the first Friday of Lent, I assume that those who do follow the teachings of Cathol are looking for a good Friday fish dish. And so I give you my homemade Filet o’ Fish thanks to the McDonald’s FiletContinue reading Canada Box: Filet O’ Fish Sauce
In honor of today being National Seafood Bisque Day, I am presenting to you an UPDATED & REVISED version of this post, which appeared on DiS1972 exactly one year ago today…. Back in June 2016, I was at the wedding of two of my dear friends Erin & Anthony. At my assigned table it wasContinue reading It’s National Seafood Bisque Day!
Feud Foods™ continues today with Bette Davis’ Spinach-Stuffed Filets! I found this recipe in Johna Blinn’s newspaper column, Celebrity Cookbook (Click on the image to zoom in for the recipe). Things I learned about Bette Davis in this article: She owns many cookbooks and detests wasting food. “I’m not a penurious woman, but toContinue reading Bette Davis’ Spinach-Stuffed Filets
So, in episode 4 of FEUD: Bette & Joan, Pauline sits down for a Pepsi-centric lunch with Mamacita at a Howard Johnson’s. OK, maybe it wasn’t a Howard Johnson’s. They didn’t serve Pepsi; they had HoJo Cola. But that is neither here nor there. What does matter is the bit of conversation that goes on betweenContinue reading Jack Warner’s Broiled Salmon–Vegetable Medley
I wrote this post on Sunday, October 4th. It was a special day. The Jets and the Dolphins played in London. At 9am. Let’s take a trip in the wayback machine… I got up this morning at 8:30, finished up my Cider Slow Cooker Applesauce (will post later), and then put on the game. IContinue reading 83. Filet of Sole a la Lindor
Todd and Leah came to visit! For this special occasion, I decided to make a DiS!. Actually, scratch that. I was ordered to make a DiS! because Todd and Leah missed our Sunday dinners. And, since I’m a girl who can’t say no, I complied (also, I have to get through these damn cards by theContinue reading 111. Broiled Fillet of Sole
If you recall, thanks to your votes, I made it through the first round of DICED! with my Corny Cheddar Chowder and Chesapeake Onion Straws. It was a hit! I just competed in round two; the challenge was to craft an entree and sides with the secret ingredients: white fish, white pepper, cauliflower, and brie.Continue reading Let’s Make a Deal!
In the spirit of the season (and by the season I mean Lent) I’m offering you a dinner fit for a meatless Friday. This is from all the way back in June 2011, so I know that this will be new to (a lot of) you! In addition to this being a surprisingly successful dinner,Continue reading Fishy Friday Flashback: Baked Stuffed Bass
The ladies’ holiday cocktail party continues! I’ve already shared with you the wiener part of the evening and the sparkling punch, but here are the remaining delicious dishes, Crab-Deviled Eggs and Smoked Oyster Puffs. Both recipes come from the Better Homes and Gardens Fish and Seafood Cook Book (1971 edition), one of the books from my collectionContinue reading BH&G Fish and Seafood Cook Book: Crab-Deviled Eggs and Smoked Oyster Puffs
I had been looking forward to #58 for quite a while. It’s not every day you take on a recipe that includes canned fish balls as an ingredient, amiright? Plus, you can sing “fish balls” to this little ditty (starts at 2:10). Fish balls, fish balls, roly poly fish balls. Fish balls, fish balls, eatContinue reading 58. Scandinavian Fish Scallop
The blog was on hiatus for a bit because I went to Vegas. So I’m going to take #4 as an opportunity to ramble on about my trip. If you are here solely for the fish dish, you’re gonna have to scroll down a bit. Circus Circus: Claustrophobic and full of children. I have alwaysContinue reading 4. Fish Steaks With Herbs (and the Vegas Hiatus)
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.
