Hello, darlings! Oh, things have been mighty crazy over here in Dinner is Served! land—-believe you me! But that doesn’t mean I haven’t squeezed in a little time here and there to whip up some retro deliciousness (or disgustingness, depending on your taste). In fact, was just invited to be a guest blogger for TheContinue reading Behold the Miracles of Miracle Whip

48. Turkey Scalloppine
Darlings, it is official. We are in the midst of National Jell-O Week! I hope that you got your jiggle on because the weekend is fast approaching. But if you haven’t celebrated yet, fear not! I’ve already observed this holiest of holy week for you. Come, live vicariously through me. Look at dinner #48. TurkeyContinue reading 48. Turkey Scalloppine
39. Bettan’s Chicken
I looked up ‘Bettan’s Chicken’ to see why it is named as such or what history there may be. But apparently there is none. I don’t know who the hell Bettan is or why this is his chicken. It sounds vaguely Middle Eastern to me so I imagine that it should be cooked in anContinue reading 39. Bettan’s Chicken
31. Chow Mein
Lately it seems like I’ve been eating beef, beef, beef, and more beef. And I guess that in October I have–this month I had one of the best meals of my life at The Prime Rib Baltimore–where I ate just that: prime rib. Lots and lots of prime rib. If you are ever in Baltimore,Continue reading 31. Chow Mein
Electric Skillet Carolina Chicken Pilau (with a Brian Bonus)
I decided to take a break from the 1970s and try a recipe from one of my other vintage finds, The Electric Skillet Frypan Cookbook, which was published in 1955. I bought this lil’ cookbook when I purchased my electric skillet. I figured that if I bought the skillet I might as well know howContinue reading Electric Skillet Carolina Chicken Pilau (with a Brian Bonus)
57. Chicken Pot Pie
Greetings and Salutations! I haven’t served dinner recently because I was in Las Vegas last week. I will expound on the Vegas trip in my next post, but I will tell you this: it is a good thing that I made #57 and used my last whole chicken before I left for Sin City. Why?Continue reading 57. Chicken Pot Pie
102. Chef’s Salad
It’s been hot here in the mid-Atlantic. And I mean HAWT. Depending on which Meteorologist you trust, it was to hit well over 100 this week. Blarg. So I’ve been trying to avoid turning on the oven and instead use the toaster oven and microwave and electric skillet. But, as some of you know, runningContinue reading 102. Chef’s Salad

3. Chicken With Pineapple
Weeknight dinner! And one that nearly killed me (figuratively! Don’t worry–I didn’t set myself on fire). The preparation of this meal wiped me out. While I was making #3 I washed 2 loads of laundry, baked a cake, and wrote the previous post for #36 Baked Swiss Steak. Oh, and somewhere in there I managedContinue reading 3. Chicken With Pineapple
72. Chicken Livers in Sherry
Liver. What a polarizing food. A lot of people hate it. But there are those of us who love it–me, Hannibal Lecter, Eugene Victor Tooms. Ah, speaking of Eugene Victor Tooms, everyone’s favorite liver-eating, bile-spewing, X-File, this just happened: Washington beauty queen weds at 16 — he’s 51 You probably thought actor Doug Hutchison was prettyContinue reading 72. Chicken Livers in Sherry
44. Chicken Cacciatore (Hunter's Style)
I think it’s time that I come forward and confess my dirty little secret. My name is Emily and I’m an addict. I hoard frozen chicken. On Saturday, when I went to the Safeway, I had a vague idea of the amount of chicken already in my freezer, but it was not until after IContinue reading 44. Chicken Cacciatore (Hunter's Style)
103. Mandarin Chicken Salad
This is a very special meal. No, not because it was fancy, involved weird ingredients or included a Jell-O mold. This is special because it is my 10th completed Dinner is Served! Which means that I only have 108 cards left. Sweet Christ on a cracker. What the hell have I gotten myself into? ThisContinue reading 103. Mandarin Chicken Salad
10. Roast Chicken
I love roast chicken. I think that it might be my favorite dinner: stuffing and corn and mashies and gravy. It’s basically a small-scale version of Thanksgiving–which is my favorite holiday meal. Anyway, when I think of roast chicken I think of the delectable sides. YUM. I was ready to prepare all those wonderful carbohydrate-ladenContinue reading 10. Roast Chicken
