In past years, in celebration of all things Cher, I cher’d (yes, you can smack me later) her Hawaiian Meatballs. But first, let’s just turn back time (yeah, I went there) 2 years ago and relive my mother losing her goddamned mind when we saw “Classic Cher” at the MGM Grand in National Harbor: ThisContinue reading Happy Birthday Cher!!!!
I know I am in the minority when I say that I love “falling back.” I love the fact that I woke up refreshed and am writing this before 8am on a beautiful, sunny, blue-skied Sunday morning. It doesn’t bother me that the days get longer. It getting darker earlier makes me want to goContinue reading 185. Eggs Benedict
I know what you’re thinking. Cooking chili in the middle of August? Yes, but: CROCK-POT! The most cooking I did was browning 2 sausage links and some ground beef (which served a dual purpose, as said meat will be featured in my upcoming PIEATHALON entry). I nixed the bacon because all I had was turkeyContinue reading Male Chauvinist Chili (1975)
OK, so in August people went absolutely ballistic for the Eclipse. On Facebook and Next Door, people were frantically looking for eclipse glasses because they were sold out everywhere. Well, the week before, I bought a 5 for $15 pack for myself and Mr. Sauce, Esq. I only needed 2 pairs so I sold theContinue reading The Eclipicnic
I GOT THE 1973 CARDS, BITCHES!!! Welcome to Dinner is Served 1973! Ready your self for 84 more dinners full of Jell-o, tarts, questionable foreign fare and canned tuna. I made this inaugural dinner when I was home for the Christmas holiday. I had my parents pick what dinner they wanted. Out of selections likeContinue reading 130. Hamburger Wheels (1973)
It’s Cher’s 69th birthday! Now, last year I posted Cher’s recipe for Hawaiian Meatballs American Style; this year I decided to make them! “Willowy recording artist and TV personality.” I love that. And of course now we can add, Academy Award Winner, activist, gym spokesperson, the list goes on (and the list goes on). Hit itContinue reading Cher’s Hawaiian Meatballs
It’s Cher’s birthday! And in honor of this special day, I am sharing the recipe for one of her own dishes. It’s from this cookbook: (I totally want a copy!) Although this recipe could have just as easily come from this one: You may remember Singers & Swingers from when I made the Rolling Stones’Continue reading Cher’s Meatballs
Liberace Cooks!, the awesome 1970 cookbook by Carol Truax, is divided into seven chapters, one for each of the dining rooms in his mansion (well, there are eight chapters if you include “Sauces, Sauces Everywhere”). Chapter VI, Room with a View, centers on the “blue room,” an L-shaped glass room featuring “an around-the-corner bar of quilted blueContinue reading Liberace’s Caviar Cheese Dip
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
So I had a most bemusing/amusing dream last night. I dreamed that I was at a convention center or office building of sorts with a big glass atrium and lots of different levels and escalators. There was a big singing contest going on and I was a finalist of some sort. I was singing “IContinue reading Beverage Bonus: New York Sour
First things first. And I don’t want everyone to get too excited…but #55 has a JELL-O MOLD!!! I know that I shouldn’t be put-off by the phrase “Hamburger Pie,” because there are many perfectly good pies that involve meat. Chicken Pot Pie and Shepherd’s Pie, for instance. But seriously, doesn’t Hamburger Pie sound a littleContinue reading 55. Hamburger Pie
As you all know, Friday was the Royal Wedding. (I think you’d have to be blackout drunk for the past 4 months to be unaware of it). Anyway, although I’m not a huge Anglophile (Absolutely Fabulous and Morrissey excluded), I wanted to make something decidedly British in honor of Kate and William’s nuptials. But theContinue reading 19. Glazed Rock Cornish Game Hens
