Welcome to Wiener Wednesdays, kiddies! I’m so sorry that it’s been a couple weeks without a wiener-related post, but I’ve been doing that whole synergy thing with the Cock-a-Doodle and the Beef Tongue! But whatever. Today is a true WIENER WEDNESDAY! Now, I know that Dinner is Served is all about the retro recipes, butContinue reading WIENER WEDNESDAY: Super Tuber
Have I told you that I like the McRib? Let me rephrase that. Have I told you that I love the McRib? If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you definitely aware. But for those of you who are unaware, I am a McRib lover. Although the McRib was first invented in 1981 andContinue reading Homemade McRib (yes, you read that correctly)
I know, I know, I know. Two weeks in a row without a Wiener Wednesday. But I’m giving you the only thing that could replace a Wednesday wiener, and that is tongue. I can’t even apologize for how dirty that sounds. All of the correspondence involving this dish was unintentionally lewd. But my favorite was thisContinue reading 74. Tongue (Italian Style)
By popular demand, here is another little story from my adventures in online dating. I think it’s a good (bad) one, although nowhere near as stupendous as my date at Elvis Tacos with Baltimore’s angriest little man, Rodney. Because I will never endure a date as bad as the one with Rodney. Fingers crossed. Oh,Continue reading Beverage Bonus: Boilermaker
We interrupt your Regularly Scheduled Programming (that being Wiener Wednesday) for this Special Presentation… In the tradition of the Knoxapocalypse comes the Church Lady Cookbook Casserole Challenge! A culinary smackdown featuring the best (gross and/or weird) casseroles that church, synagogue, and community association cookbooks have to offer. So, Brian from Caker Cooking, Erica from Retro RecipeContinue reading Church Lady Cookbook Casserole Challenge: Cock-a-Doodle Casserole
While I was on Labor Day holiday back in Pittsburgh, my mum hosted a dinner for one of my oldest and dearest friends, Dillon, and her new husband, Chris. My mum did the normal Labor Day fare: ribs, macaroni salad, etc. But since the newlyweds are fans of Dinner is Served! I had to bring aContinue reading The Joys of Jell-O: Raspberry Chantilly
Finally! A salad that incorporates Hot Dogs. This is exactly what Wiener Wednesday was missing. This recipe was sent to me from UK–suggested by Jenny of Silver Screen Suppers and Vincentennial Cooking (go visit her blogs because they are fabulous and historical. Plus, don’t you want to make Alfred Hitchcock’s Quiche Lorraine or Marilyn Monroe’sContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Tessie O’Shea’s Frankfurter Chutney Salad
I love anything with a superlative in its name. Especially anything called Impossible. Couple that with the phrase Taco Pie and you’ve got a simply irresistible dish. Seriously, I love Mexican food. Especially at-home Americanized Mexican food. There’s really not a lot to say about this except that it was delicious. And easy. It would’ve beenContinue reading Impossible Taco Pie
Greetings and salutations, darlings! I’m going to take a little time off for the holiday, so you won’t see me here or on the Facebook page until late next week. I know that it will be hard, but don’t miss me too much. I promise that I’ll return. In the meantime, I want to giveContinue reading Happy Labor Day!
Ah, another Cooking for Two that I cooked for one! Gentle readers, I present to you Bacon Big Boys! I had been eyeing this recipe for a while 1. because of the name (I ♥ Bacon!) and 2. because of the photo. Oh my, that is a big boy! So big that one was more thanContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Bacon Big Boys
I had been looking forward to #58 for quite a while. It’s not every day you take on a recipe that includes canned fish balls as an ingredient, amiright? Plus, you can sing “fish balls” to this little ditty (starts at 2:10). Fish balls, fish balls, roly poly fish balls. Fish balls, fish balls, eatContinue reading 58. Scandinavian Fish Scallop
So since I now live such a wiener-centric life I was doing some light reading on the other types of hot dogs–specifically regional dogs. We all know about the Chicago Dog, but did you know that there is a Seattle Dog? Yep. it’s your standard dog topped with sauerkraut, sauteed onion, brown mustard, and creamContinue reading WIENER WEDNESDAY: Seattle Hot Pocket
This is about the night I ate a hot dog topped with crunchy peanut butter. Back in May I was enjoying some Beams and Bohs at Ottobar with my buddy Rar Kelly, the resident DJ at F#@K the RENT, one of Baltimore’s best dance parties (Listen to some Rar Kelly real talk here. Yay for shameless friendContinue reading Frank Wrap-Ups & Nutty Pups
Just another Wiener Wednesday. This recipe is from Better Homes & Gardens Jiffy Cooking (1967). It’s on the page opposite Chili-Cheese Franks and is listed as a “Hearty Sandwich.” And may I just note that on the first page of “Hearty Sandwiches” there is a recipe for Tuna Tugs. TUNA TUGS. The more I delve into the BH&GContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Frank-Reuben Sandwich
This week’s selection is Frank Triangles. I am seriously in love with the names of these recipes from the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook collection. Frank Triangles sounds like a mafia goon: That Frankie Triangles is a rat, boss. Let’s bury him in the Meadowlands next to Hoffa! Frank Triangles comes to us from theContinue reading WIENER WEDNESDAY: Frank Triangles
Hello, kittens. Happy August! I hope that you are all well and keeping cool this sweltering summer. I’ve been pretty unsuccessful–I blame the damn Chesapeake Bay–but perhaps I’m sweating up a storm because things are really heating up here at DiS! central. Not only am I revving up for my 80th dinner (yes, 80th!), andContinue reading August Update
I have no idea why I have been unable to write this post. It’s been completely piecemeal, stops and starts, a line here, a line there, and then just apathy. This dinner turned out pretty good, and liver is such a fun subject, but I haven’t been inspired to write about it. Eventually I justContinue reading 33. Liver a la Gourmet
