I made this one back in May and I didn’t take notes. All I can remember is that we hosted my friend Kevin and it was a weeknight. This was a good choice for a weeknight because it was only supposed to take a little over an hour to prepare and I marinated the chickenContinue reading 141. Chicken Teriyaki
Happy Lunar New Year! It’s the Year of the Ox! I wasn’t planning on having some Asian cuisine on the blog for the holiday, but I had this dinner in the queue, so here we are. These recipes are from The Joy of Chinese Cooking by Lo Mei Hing, Giulia Marzotto Caotorta and Sun TziContinue reading The Joys of Chinese Cooking: Sweet & Sour Pork and Bamboo Shoots with Spinach and Mushrooms (1982)
Happy Lunar New Year! To celebrate the new year (and my upcoming birthday) Mr. Sauce took me out on Saturday night for Korean BBQ and to see the new Nicolas Cage movie. If you like Nicolas Cage, horror, camp, and alpacas, boy is this the movie for you! I wouldn’t say that it is necessarilyContinue reading Lunar New Year Snicky Snacks (1982)
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
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
Congee? When I posted on the DiS! Facebook Page that I was so stoked about making Congee I got a lot of “huh?” and “what?” Well, gentle readers, I wouldn’t expect most of you to know what Congee is. I had no idea what the hell it was until I entered college and was, withContinue reading Century Egg and Chicken Congee

Click on the photos to read more! 108. Baked Stuffed Shrimp This dinner was notable for actually being a brunch. And also because I preparedContinue reading National Shrimp Day!
Darlings, it really does seem as though it were yesterday that we were reintroduced to the goings on of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce. And here we are, already at the end of another season. I really hope that I don’t have to wait another entire year for the show to return. I could be deadContinue reading Sterling Cooper Draper Rumaki & Gimlet
I was inspired to go Hawaiian this week because the annual NFL Pro Bowl took place on January 29th and was, as always, held in the Aloha State. The Pro Bowl used to take place after the Super Bowl but they’ve since moved it to the week before in an attempt to make the game somewhatContinue reading 69. Hawaiian Spareribs
Darlings, sorry that this took longer than I thought but, as promised, here is the recipe for the ribs that I made on New Year’s Eve. And yes, they did taste as good as they look. I think my photography has really improved! This recipe is adapted by 1-2-3-4-5 Sticky Spareribs (Tang Chu Pai Gu)Continue reading 1-2-3-4-5 Sticky Spareribs
Darlings, since you asked so nicely, here are the recipes for the Spiced-Salt Prawns and the Tea Eggs. I will get the 1-2-3-4-5 Sticky Spareribs recipe up later this week. Spiced-Salt Prawns This recipe is from Yan Kit’s Classic Chinese Cookbook which is an excellent Chinese cookbook. The instructions are clear, the pictures are pretty, andContinue reading Chinese Spiced-Salt Prawns and Tea Egg Recipes
Brian wishes you a totally awesome 2012! Did you all have a good New Year’s Eve and subsequent New Year’s Day? I hope so, although it was weird having NFL games on the 1st and not the Rose Bowl, am I right? But the Steelers won so all is right with the world. The exitContinue reading New Year’s Chinese Banquet and The Best of 2011
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
1970s at-home Chinese cuisine. Let that idea marinate in your brain for a bit. Scary, right? I went into #18 with a bit of trepidation just because I really love Chinese food and despise Wok and Roll, LaChoy mall food court Chinese food. I have cooked a lot of Chinese food in my day. InContinue reading 18. Sweet and Sour Shrimp
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
