I am officially nominating myself for the Jerry Seinfeld Awards in Dating Excellence, (Man-hands Category). Why? Let me explain. I was introduced to a friend of a friend who met all of my (seemingly low, but surprisingly difficult) standards: Born before Bush Sr. was in office Employed No roommates No children Has lived places otherContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Best Hamdogs
I know that because of my relatively high hot dog consumption, you’re all worried that I’m gonna get butt cancer from all those nitrate and nitrate-ridden weenies. But I found a butt cancer-free alternative that is tasty and is not one of those tofu dogs–I mean, doesn’t that sound like the worst? Tofu dogs! ThroughContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Relay Foods Roly Polys
I love these food holidays. I really do. Especially when they commemorate something as tasty as the Pig in a Blanket. And on a Wiener Wednesday of all days! It’s kismet. I am no stranger to the pig in a blanket. Here are a few of the refrigerated dough/weenie combos that have graced the pagesContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: National Pigs in a Blanket Day
The Marguerite Patten Recipe Cards have returned! And with a vengeance! Feast your eyes on this: Well, these definitely look…weird. But I wouldn’t expect anything less from Ms. Patten! Let me get this out of the way: I didn’t make the little bacon rolls. Not because I didn’t want to! I just didn’t have any inContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Pork Sausage Croutes
OK, let me apologize for not having an actual weenie dish for you this week. I blogged the hell out of April and I am a bit tired. And it’s hot here. It’s supposed to hit 90 today in Baltimore. Which is disgusting and disconcerting–it’s only April, Mother Nature! But since it is Wiener Wednesday,Continue reading Wiener Wednesday: Fantasy Weenie Roast
So I threw myself a birthday party! (over 2 months ago) So sue me. I don’t remember every detail of the party or have photos of everything–it was my party after all. And I had, like, 10 people over. So I was busy. And buzzed–from a punch!–but I’ll talk about that later. So I celebrated meContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: 115. Hot Appetizers
This sounds like a good one, right? I found this recipe late one night while traipsing across the internet. The site is Retro Food for Modern Times, which featured a little gem of a cookbook called Singers & Swingers in the Kitchen: The Scene-Makers Cook Book (1967). “Dozens of nutty, turned-on, easy-to-prepare recipes from the grooviestContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Hot Dogs on the Rocks
So I thought of something for Wiener Wednesday that I can’t believe I haven’t talked about yet! From filmmaker Rick Sebak, the man who brought us Stuff That’s Gone, Things That Aren’t There Anymore and Sandwiches You Will Like is what may be his most popular show, A HOT DOG PROGRAM! Sebak is not one for fancyContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: A Hot Dog Program
From the shores of the Ohio River in Cincinnati, I bring you the Skyline Coney! Well, actually, the can of chili is from Dayton or Akron or wherever it is in Ohio that my friend Leah is from (she gave me the can)–but Skyline Chili (Cincinnati-style chili is a thing, people!) originated in the QueenContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Skyline Coney
It’s Wiener Wednesday and I am writing this from the comfort of my own couch, in my pajamas, watching the new Ricki Lake show–I just watched someone get a 20 minute boob job–amazing! It’s a snow day here, although there is no snow. Baltimore is in the pink part of the radar map. I don’tContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: World’s Longest Hot Dog & World’s Biggest D*ck
During the economic crisis in 1977-1979, Kraft came out with a series of magazine and newspaper advertisements heralding Kraft dinners as the solution to America’s diminishing grocery budgets. And it’s true, Kraft Macaroni & Cheese dinner is inexpensive, as it still is. But I still found these dinners (and I use the term dinner veryContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Kraft Dinners
Well, earlier this week I shared with you the New Year’s Eve Bubbly that my mum and I served up at our girls’ party; now I present to you the weenie portion of the party (of course there was a weenie dish!). This is, from Better Homes & Gardens Cooking with Cheese (1968), the appropriately named Swiss-FrankContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Swiss-Frank Roll-Ups
Oh. My. Gawd. What does one do when National Jell-O Week collides with Wiener Wednesday? Well, if I had known that this was National Jell-O Week, I would have a frankfurter mold for you right now. But instead I have this dish, the selection of which was a happy accident. From the Joys of Jell-OContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Banana Wobbler
Welcome to another Wiener Wednesday! This is extra-special because you, gentle readers, took to the polls to determine this week’s dish. After the votes had been counted, Hot Dog Soup was elected your frankfurter dish of choice with just under 50% of the votes. I am not surprised since it was the most dubious soundingContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Hot Dog Soup
Howdy-ho, Hot Dog Enthusiasts! For this week’s Wiener Wednesday, I look to you, gentle readers, to help me pick which one of these franktastic recipes I should take on as my next red-hot challenge. The candidates are: Yankee Spaghet (from Good Housekeeping Casserole Book, 1965) Spanish Franks (from The Metropolitan Cookbook, 1964) Frank-Stuffed Tomatoes (from GoodContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: You Pick!
Season’s Greetings, darlings! As of today at 5pm I will officially be on holiday break. And boy does that feel good. But perhaps I’m not feeling as good as Sausage Santa, here. Is Mr. Skogman making a friendly offering of tasty beef log? Or does that smile hide murderous thoughts of assault by salami andContinue reading A Very Merry Wiener Wednesday!
