So, you know that weekend that Todd and Leah came in for a wedding and I made them the Broiled Filet of Sole brunch on Saturday morning? Well, this is how insane I am: while they were at that wedding on Saturday night I was cooking at the house because on Sunday night I hostedContinue reading 82.

Pittsburgh Turkey Devonshire Sandwich
Got turkey? I got a great way for you to use up some of your Thanksgiving leftovers. That is, if you like bacon and cheese sauce. And who doesn’t (aside from our kosher and lactose intolerant friends)? When “sandwich” and “Pittsburgh” are mentioned in the same sentence, the infamous Primanti Bros. sandwich is what comesContinue reading Pittsburgh Turkey Devonshire Sandwich
Liberace’s Thanksgiving
Us at Dinner is Served (and by ‘us’ I mean Brian and me) want to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving. And really there is no better way to do so than this little gem of a video, the Thanksgiving episode of The Liberace Show (1954). For no other reason, you want to watch itContinue reading Liberace’s Thanksgiving
Yorkshire Chicken
Happy Autumn! The Equinox has come and gone and we are enjoying some very fall-like weather here in Maryland. There is a definite chill in the air, as well as lots of rain. It’s an absolutely perfect time for comfort food. And I think that casseroles, particularly chicken casseroles, are extra comfy. This Yorkshire Chicken recipe comesContinue reading Yorkshire Chicken
34. Herb Broiled Chicken
I am chicken. Well, I made chicken, yes. Specifically this dinner, 34. Herb Broiled Chicken. But I am chicken, as well. Lemme explain. It was about this time last year I was dating Mr. Buckeye. Do you remember Mr. Buckeye? He was the meatball guy. From that BH&G Cooking for Two, there was the DoubleContinue reading 34. Herb Broiled Chicken
Food Blogger Cookbook Swap
So this month I participated in the Food Blogger Cookbook Swap, hosted by Alyssa of www.EverydayMaven.com and Faith of http://www.anediblemosaic.com . The format is much like when I’ve done Foodie Pen Pals. But instead of filling a box with foodstuffs, I sent a cookbook to a food blogger and received one in return. I received from (the very educational and veryContinue reading Food Blogger Cookbook Swap
The Only Thanksgiving GIF You Will Ever Need
Look at him go: Slice that bird, Bob! Happy Thanksgiving, my friends. And safe travels to all of you who are going over the river and through the woods to grandmother’s house or wherever the hell it is that you spend the holiday. Just for shits and giggles, here’s another look at that glorious ThanksgivingContinue reading The Only Thanksgiving GIF You Will Ever Need
31. Chow Mein
Lately it seems like I’ve been eating beef, beef, beef, and more beef. And I guess that in October I have–this month I had one of the best meals of my life at The Prime Rib Baltimore–where I ate just that: prime rib. Lots and lots of prime rib. If you are ever in Baltimore,Continue reading 31. Chow Mein
Electric Skillet Carolina Chicken Pilau (with a Brian Bonus)
I decided to take a break from the 1970s and try a recipe from one of my other vintage finds, The Electric Skillet Frypan Cookbook, which was published in 1955. I bought this lil’ cookbook when I purchased my electric skillet. I figured that if I bought the skillet I might as well know howContinue reading Electric Skillet Carolina Chicken Pilau (with a Brian Bonus)
9. Lentil Soup (with Orange Chiffon Cake)
So I have officially fallen off of the wagon. I have totally abandoned the Points-Plus system. Hell, portion size went out the window about 2 weeks ago. Therefore, the scale is giving me sad face and fat-shaming me. So something needs to change. I could, in theory, start running (something I stopped doing in AprilContinue reading 9. Lentil Soup (with Orange Chiffon Cake)
57. Chicken Pot Pie
Greetings and Salutations! I haven’t served dinner recently because I was in Las Vegas last week. I will expound on the Vegas trip in my next post, but I will tell you this: it is a good thing that I made #57 and used my last whole chicken before I left for Sin City. Why?Continue reading 57. Chicken Pot Pie
102. Chef's Salad
It’s been hot here in the mid-Atlantic. And I mean HAWT. Depending on which Meteorologist you trust, it was to hit well over 100 this week. Blarg. So I’ve been trying to avoid turning on the oven and instead use the toaster oven and microwave and electric skillet. But, as some of you know, runningContinue reading 102. Chef's Salad

3. Chicken With Pineapple
Weeknight dinner! And one that nearly killed me (figuratively! Don’t worry–I didn’t set myself on fire). The preparation of this meal wiped me out. While I was making #3 I washed 2 loads of laundry, baked a cake, and wrote the previous post for #36 Baked Swiss Steak. Oh, and somewhere in there I managedContinue reading 3. Chicken With Pineapple
72. Chicken Livers in Sherry
Liver. What a polarizing food. A lot of people hate it. But there are those of us who love it–me, Hannibal Lecter, Eugene Victor Tooms. Ah, speaking of Eugene Victor Tooms, everyone’s favorite liver-eating, bile-spewing, X-File, this just happened: Washington beauty queen weds at 16 — he’s 51 You probably thought actor Doug Hutchison was prettyContinue reading 72. Chicken Livers in Sherry
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)
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
44. Chicken Cacciatore (Hunter's Style)
I think it’s time that I come forward and confess my dirty little secret. My name is Emily and I’m an addict. I hoard frozen chicken. On Saturday, when I went to the Safeway, I had a vague idea of the amount of chicken already in my freezer, but it was not until after IContinue reading 44. Chicken Cacciatore (Hunter's Style)
