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)
FUN FACT: as of June 30 I am unemployed. Yeah, only 2 weeks into the job they sent us to work remotely, and then 2 months later they decided to shutter the school. Permanently. So here I am, shit out of luck. Mr. Sauce, Esq. said that I had jinxed myself with the “I hateContinue reading 178. Calico Stuffed Peppers
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…
How yinz all holding up? Have you lost your damn minds yet? This morning I realized that I’ve been home for 6 weeks. I’m still deciding how to react to that. What you been doing to fill the hours (aside from consuming copious amounts of streaming content)?
Bored? Well, here’s something for you to do—help me pick my next DiS! Here are the contenders: I’m not giving you any explanations or recipes. I’m not going to tell you exactly what is covering that meatloaf or what makes a cheese nugget a cheese nugget. And I’m sure as hell not going to tellContinue reading YOU PICK! (Quarantine Edition)
Spring is in full bloom and that means that it’s artichoke season! We are very lucky in that we’ve been able to get our hands on fresh artichokes a few times during quarantine, so I decided to continue my quest to recreate the stuffed artichokes that my dad will wax poetic about on occasion. IContinue reading One Stuffed Large Artichoke: The Elenian Club Cookbook (1985)
FUN FACT!I looooove liver and onions! I have since I was a kid (I was an odd child). This DiS has been a long time in the making. I already wrote about the Sunset Salad and Lemon Pudding Squares that accompanied #182. I made this dish when I went back home at theContinue reading 182. Liver ‘N Onions
“I hate my new job,” I said yesterday to Mr. Sauce, Esq. Explanation: at the very beginning of March I left my company of 10 years and started a new position at a high school. Well, two weeks into my new gig the virus happened. School building closed indefinitely. So I hate my new jobContinue reading 2-in-1 International Recipe Collection: Royal Kir (1977)
Another dish from earlier in 2019–I couldn’t even tell you when. But I will tell you that this here is the easiest and tastiest guacamole recipe ever, and the one that I will be using from now until the day I die.
Today we take creme de menthe out for a spin! I had a bottle in my bar because of 191. Grasshopper Pie from the 1973 DiS cards. And since I made the pie it has sat in the back of the bar with the creme de cacao from the pie as well (creme de cacaoContinue reading 2-in-1 International Recipe Collection: Caruso (1977)
