Hannibal Week rolls on! This is my attempt to redeem myself after the absolute shit show that was Heart with Sausage Stuffing. In the seventh episode of season 1, “Sorbet,” Hannibal hosts a grand dinner. Unbeknownst to his guests, they are dining on some of the trophies the Chesapeake Ripper collected during his latest stringContinue reading Hannibal Week: Prosciutto Roses & Tomato Brain Barquettes
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 Hannibal Week! Today we are having cocktails. During the end of season 2 and the beginning of season 3, Hannibal describes his Memory Palace and how it allows him to be anywhere (or any time) regardless of where he is. It’s a lovely idea–tucking away feelings and thoughts and fact and figures inContinue reading The Chesapeake Ripper Cocktail
Back by popular demand (and by popular demand, I mean that I just wanted to do it again) It’s WIENER WEDNESDAY!!! To kick of this month of weenies, I thought I’d ease into it with Vincent Price’s Stuffed Frankfurters. For those not in the know, Mary and Vincent Price’s Treasury of Great Recipes is built aroundContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Vincent Price’s Stuffed Frankfurters (1965)
Over the weekend Mr. Sauce, Esq. and I bought ourselves flatware. To be honest, I don’t even know why we were discussing flatware. I know it went from my Global Knives to Henckles Knives, to looking at the Henckles flatware sets and then ultimately buying service for 12, some Pyrex, an oven thermometer, an instantContinue reading San Francisco Dinner Party Cookbook: A Light Dinner (1975)
Happy International National Picnic Day! 134. isn’t a picnic per se; but I am posting this one today because I fully intended to eat it as a picnic with Mr. Sauce, Esq. this past weekend. The picnic didn’t happen so I ate this by myself for lunch on Monday. First things first, let’s talk aboutContinue reading 134. Stuffed Ham Sandwiches
I haven’t done a Bloody Mary in a long while–I feel like I’ve made every recipe there is. This recipe was passed along to me by Jenny over at Silver Screen Suppers. I must admit that I had never heard of Carole Landis.. But perhaps it is not surprising–she never became a marquee name. SheContinue reading Carole Landis’ Bloody Mary
Has anyone else been taking the time that would typically be spent going out to dinner or shopping or seeing friends to watch really weird movies? No? Just me? I’ve actually been watching a lot of MST3K and RiffTrax (which is literally the same thing except RiffTrax doesn’t have space, robots, skits, or commercial breaks).Continue reading 200. Crunchy Baked Chicken
Scrambled, poached, deviled or fried it’s the Incredible Edible Egg! For National Egg Day I delved deep into the archives to find some of the eggiest dishes that DiS1972 has ever served.

Happy National Biscuit Day, my friends! To mark the occasion, I opened the vault brought out this humdinger of a post from November 2012, when DiS1972 was just a wee toddler. Brace yourself, because this dish…OMG, this dish. It is emblazoned in my mind and has stuck with me for almost 8 years. Please enjoy……Continue reading National Biscuit Day! Better Homes & Gardens Meat Cookbook: Sausage in Biscuits (1971)
Time no longer means anything. I have absolutely no idea how long I’ve been under stay-at-home. You could tell me 8 weeks or 18 weeks and I’d nod my head and say “that sounds right.” Confession: for as much as everyone wants to get things back to “normal,” I’m in no rush. I’m enjoying it.Continue reading Help! I’m in Love with The Quarantine (ft. 161. Turkey on a Skewer)
I made this dish back in February for a mobile meal at Boordy Vineyards. We are members of their Landmark Club. One of the perks of being a club member is the seasonal release parties. You go and taste the wines that are in that quarter’s selection. There is music and a big cheese bar.Continue reading The Best of Bon Appetit: Curried Turkey Salad in Brioche (1979)
FUN FACT! I went dumpster diving for this book! OK, that’s a lie. I didn’t go dumpster diving for this cookbook (I reserve that for special items like my Velvet Elvis that was literally in a dumpster behind an apartment building in Boston). I found this little gem in a pile of books in myContinue reading The Best of Bon Appetit Bloody Mary (1979)
Back in college my roommate and I spent an entire afternoon just going through the names of celebrities and debating their “fuckability factor” if you will, We actually made a “dudes we’d do” chart (please remember this was pre-2000. There were no smart phones or streaming. We were bored). There were your standard folks inContinue reading Frankie Avalon’s Chicken Thighs with Peas, Sweet Vermouth, and Sherry
So lately I have been absolutely obsessed with grapefruit juice. Grapefruits are auto-picks in my Imperfect Foods box and I had no idea what to do with them aside from put them in salads. This was before I came across this recipe card: And it’s low-calorie to boot! (although the calorie count on food/drink isContinue reading 2-in-1 International Recipe Collection: Salty Dog (1977)
Hello, friends! Are you looking for something different for this year’s Cinco de Mayo? Maybe something that’s non-taco (even though it is a Taco Tuesday)? Maybe something a little more low-key because of the pandemic and shit? Well, I have the dish AND drink for you! I found this in my collection while I wasContinue reading Cuervo Bloody Mary with Ortega Huevos Rancheros (1972)
I have come to believe that the 2-in-1 International Recipe Card Collection is basically the same 10 cocktails again and again but with itty bitty variations. Here is my example: I just made the Continental Sour: And in 2012 I made the New York Sour from the same cards: Look at ’em. I have toContinue reading 2-in-1 Recipe Card Collection: Continental Sour (1977)
Last week you voted for my next dinner. Here were your nominees: The winner is…
