Card 171 is noteworthy because it is the last Dinner is Served 1972 dinner prepared in my house. Yeah, if I hadn’t mentioned it already, I MOVED! Back in April I relocated Dinner Is Served HQ from my little early 1910-ish Baltimore row home and moved into a high-rise condo that was built in the late 1970s.Continue reading 171. Rosy Glazed Pork Chops
Back in October, I found out that McDonald’s Big Mac sauce was available in bottles. But only in Canada. I expressed my disappointment on my Facebook page and DiS!1972-fan Alicia offered to send me Big Mac sauce as well as Filet o’ Fish Sauce and McChicken Sauce (McChicken sauce is something I will get intoContinue reading Canada Box: Big Mac 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!
Today is October 10 and it is currently 82 degrees out. At 5:30pm. I am sick of this bullshit. It’s supposed to be fall now. I want it to be fall so desperately that I am making an apple-pork dish regardless of how hot it is. So, I decided to make this on a weeknight.Continue reading 127. Pork Ribs and Apple Rings
OK, so in August people went absolutely ballistic for the Eclipse. On Facebook and Next Door, people were frantically looking for eclipse glasses because they were sold out everywhere. Well, the week before, I bought a 5 for $15 pack for myself and Mr. Sauce, Esq. I only needed 2 pairs so I sold theContinue reading The Eclipicnic
Tonight is the finale of Twin Peaks: The Return. And I am super-stoked, but also extra tired because I just spent the last two days making smoked cheese pigs and then editing a video about them. Please, check ’em out. Make it worth it for me. (although they are tasty and I did cold-smoke inContinue reading Twin Peaks Eats: Jerry Horne’s Legendary Smoked Cheese Pig
It’s the end of summer, but it’s the return of Dinner is Served 1972! Yeah, I’ve been neglecting the blog, life just got in the way, know what I mean?

Elvis’ Rice Pudding
Today is National Milk Chocolate Day! And on Twin Peaks: The Return, Agent Cooper finally had himself some damn good cherry pie. OMG, that look of food bliss on Kyle MacLachlan’s face! I truly believe that pie should be celebrated on the regular. So for this special day, I’m going into the archives for a deliciousContinue reading Twin Peaks Eats: Cherry Chocolate Pie (1966)
DO YOU KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS? IT’S PIEATHALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! Yes, for the 4th year my food blogger friends and I exchanged pie recipes and got baking! (click here to see pies of years past) Except I didn’t exchange recipes. There was a mix up with people being left off and then dropped out and thenContinue reading PIEATHALON 4: Betty Crocker’s Chicken-Sausage Pies (1965)
“Diane, I’ve just opened Laura Palmer’s diary. This is the, uh, the last entry, dated February 23rd. It reads:”‘Asparagus for dinner again. I hate asparagus. Does this mean I’ll never grow up?’” Laura Palmer was a girl full of mysteries. But one thing we do know for sure: she was not a fan of asparagus.Continue reading Twin Peaks Eats: Liberace’s Asparagus Vinaigrette
FINALLY. IT’S SUNDAY AND IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN. I am so fucking stoked for this. I’ve been waiting 27 years for this. 27 years since eleven-year-old me was utterly traumatized by Twin Peaks. I had BOB nightmares for a long while afterwards. And even with subsequent viewings of the series (I think I just watched itContinue reading Twin Peaks Eats: Garmonbozia Soup
In 2014, in anticipation of the Blu-ray release of Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery, I did a series of Peaks-themed posts. Back then, the idea of David Lynch and Mark Frost returning with a third season of the show was…well, unthinkable. But here we are! Starting with the premiere of season 3 on Showtime onContinue reading Twin Peaks Eats: Jerry’s Baguette With Brie & Butter

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

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!
