It’s Fun With Fondue Month! In the past I’ve just thrown up my fondue post which features a classic cheese fondue from Better Homes & Gardens Fondue and Table Top Cooking. It also features R. Kelly’s rap melodrama Trapped in the Closet. I refuse to post the youtube video because I don’t want to putContinue reading 196. Seafood Fondue
I have no idea when I made No. 183, so I have very little memory of No. 183. I don’t know if I made the raisin-stuffed baked apples. I imagine that I did just because that’s easy. But if there was a photo, that has been lost. The results photo of 183. was not takenContinue reading 183. Shrimp Newburg
Happy Fat Tuesday!* I made a New Orleans classic for the occasion. At least a “classic” is how it’s described in The Frugal Gourmet Cooks American**. It’s in the New Orleans chapter. Never having this dish before, I had no idea what to expect (although don’t they sometimes call tartar sauce remoulade?)*** So I amContinue reading New Orleans Shrimp Remoulade (1986)
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
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!
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
And now a quick take–it’s Antoinetta Pelligrina Pica’s Shrimp Scampi! Well, few recipes get easier than that! I made a serving for 1. So I went with a 1/4 pound shrimp and adjusted the amount of the other ingredients accordingly. A little linguini, a little Parmesan cheese and BOOM, a quickie dinner is served! AContinue reading Antoinetta Pelligrina Pica’s Shrimp Scampi
Back in June I was at the wedding of two of my dear friends Erin & Anthony. At my assigned table it was me, my date, Dan & Jon, some people I didn’t know, and my friend Evan and his date. Anyway, the wedding ceremony is all said and done and we are getting allContinue reading Playboy Gourmet Cold Bisque of Shrimp Soup (1977)
Hi. As everyone in the western world knows, Mr. David Bowie left Planet Earth late Sunday night. This made me incredibly sad. Surprisingly so. I cried in the car on the way to work today when his duet of “Little Drummer Boy” with Bing Crosby came on the radio. I dunno, it just gave meContinue reading David Bowie’s Shrimp Tempura (1978)
Holiday greetings, my friends! Do any of the following statements apply to you? I want to knock the socks off of all my friends and family at Christmas Dinner. My holiday spread is lacking a breathtaking focal point. I love combining crustaceans and cosmonauts. I have a surplus of toothpicks and need something to doContinue reading Shrimp Sputnik
In the world of Dinner is Served! #108. Baked Stuffed Shrimp is classified as a brunch. Shrimp brunch? I don’t think so. I love shellfish, but not so much before noon. Hence, I made #108 a dinner. This was a special dinner because I had guests. I played hostess to my friend Melissa, who isContinue reading 108. Baked Stuffed Shrimp
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

1970s at-home Chinese cuisine. Let that idea marinate in your brain for a bit. Scary, right? I went into #18 with a bit of trepidation just because I really love Chinese food and despise Wok and Roll, LaChoy mall food court Chinese food. I have cooked a lot of Chinese food in my day. InContinue reading 18. Sweet and Sour Shrimp
Now, I didn’t plan to prepare a Creole dish for Mardi Gras, because I really don’t keep track of such drinking holidays. I don’t need a reason to drink–your Cinco de Mayo is one of my any given Thursdays. Now on to Creole Shrimp! Now, with this recipe I followed it to the letter. TheContinue reading 54. Shrimp Creole
