No, scratch that. This is a GIF for the AGES! A cat emerging from a pepperoni pizza hatch? I can watch this for hours. Also, the cat looks almost exactly like Brian. For realsies. Everyone, enjoy your holiday weekend! See yinz guys next week!

Brian is a handsome cat.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Brian’s been hitting the bottle (and the catnip) all day long. He’s a hot mess. Look at him, he can’t even stand up straight. So how has your St. Patrick’s Day been thus far? It’s snowy here. Again. At work there was another delay; which was good because I have a cold and getting upContinue reading Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Happy Anniversary, Dinner is Served!
Last week I hit my 3-year anniversary with both the blog and Brian! Can you believe it? I can’t. I seriously can’t. I don’t know the last time I committed to something this long that wasn’t a loveless, soul-sucking relationship completely lacking intimacy, honesty and anything remotely resembling a fit physique (that includes me. IContinue reading Happy Anniversary, Dinner is Served!
Happy National Jell-O Week! (Brian bonus included)
It is once again that time of year. Yesterday began National Jell-O Week. Or at least according to the random holiday website that I just linked to. But anyhoo, National Jell-O week is, for me, and some other folks (I’m looking at you: Mimi, Ruth, and Brian) one of the happiest times of the year. It givesContinue reading Happy National Jell-O Week! (Brian bonus included)
What Would Brian Boitano Do?
Is anyone going to watch the Winter Olympics? I guess I will. I am a fan of figure skating. Although I couldn’t name any of the current skaters. I miss the days of Nancy Kerrigan, Viktor Petrenko, Elvis Sojko, Kristy Yamaguchi, Katarina Witt, and, the greatest skater of all time, Brian Boitano: No, not thatContinue reading What Would Brian Boitano Do?
Good Tidings & Cheer…
…from Brian and me! I hope that you find everything that you wished for under your tree (Brian just got covered in sap). Merry Christmas yinz guys!
Shrimp Sputnik
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
Beverage Bonus: The Liberace
OMG you guys. Did everyone watch Behind the Candelabra? Um, if you didn’t you need to get on some HBO ASAP or find someone who subscribes and then watch the shit out of it. How can you not? Behind the Candelabra has this: and this: This: And THIS: Yeah, in case you don’t remember, Mr.Continue reading Beverage Bonus: The Liberace
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Brian sends you taco kisses and margarita dreams.
BH&G Cooking With Cheese: Chili Cheese Log
So on Friday night I was invited to another cocktail party hosted by my friends Rick and Ronny of Retrofurn. I love their parties not just because of the company, the conversation, or their awesome dog Elvis, I also love their parties because it gives me an excuse to bust out a little mid-century tidbit toContinue reading BH&G Cooking With Cheese: Chili Cheese Log
Wiener Wednesday: Pork Sausage Croutes
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
Fishy Friday Flashback: Baked Stuffed Bass
In the spirit of the season (and by the season I mean Lent) I’m offering you a dinner fit for a meatless Friday. This is from all the way back in June 2011, so I know that this will be new to (a lot of) you! In addition to this being a surprisingly successful dinner,Continue reading Fishy Friday Flashback: Baked Stuffed Bass
117.Othello Cake (Happy 2nd Birthday, Dinner is Served!)
Something amazing happened last week–Dinner is Served turned TWO! I can’t believe it. My mind is completely blown. I am gobsmacked that I’m still doing this, let alone that there are people other than my parents reading it. Well, to celebrate–and because I’d have to bake the damn thing eventually–I tried my hand at #117Continue reading 117.Othello Cake (Happy 2nd Birthday, Dinner is Served!)
Wiener Wednesday: Kraft Dinners
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
49. Paella
Ohmygodyouguys! An actual Dinner is Served dinner! When was the last time that happened? Um, so long ago that I can’t even tell you how long ago it was that I made this dinner. So long ago that #49 was the card voted to be my 80th dinner. So excuse me if I don’t talk atContinue reading 49. Paella
Wiener Wednesday: Tom Boy & Baby Hot Dogs with Pa’s Hot Dog Relish
Greetings! Welcome to Wiener Wednesday! I wish that I could start this out on a more positive note, but I want to kill myself right now. This post was epic, detailed, and covered a whole 2 and a half hours of Brian mouse-hunting, but it is no more. As I was backing up the postContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Tom Boy & Baby Hot Dogs with Pa’s Hot Dog Relish
BH&G Cooking for Two: Steak Night–Indoors
This dinner, from Better Homes & Gardens Cooking for Two, is one that I made a long time ago. Like months and months and months ago and never had anything much to say about it. And now—–well, I still don’t have anything to say about it. Holy crap, it is terribly difficult for me toContinue reading BH&G Cooking for Two: Steak Night–Indoors
Homemade McRib (yes, you read that correctly)
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)
