It’s Blends Bash! (If you don’t know what that is, the lovely folks at The Book Club Cookbook send out samples of their spice blends–all inspired by television shows, movies, and songs–to special bloggers like me. And then we go all creative with them). Today I am bringing to you a recipe that features theirContinue reading Blends Bash 2021: Irish Halloween Bread & Irish Coffee (1966)
It’s National Red Wine Day! And what says Red Wine more than Coq a Vin? Not much. So that’s what I have for you today. Even though the DiS1972 recipe doesn’t call for Burgundy specifically, I did a little research and discovered that Coq a Vin is traditionally made with Burgundy. Hence, I made aContinue reading 135. Coq au Vin
Welcome to the 8th Annual Pieathalon! You all know the deal–the Pieathletes send me pre-1990 pie recipes and I randomly assign them to another Pieathlete. We make ’em! Then share ’em! My assignment is courtesy of Dr. Bobb of Dr. Bobb’s Kitschen. He submitted two different recipes and this is the one I chose, fromContinue reading Pieathalon 8: Mahogany Pie (1978)
My Celebration of Canadian Food Stuffs rolls on with card 186, which features Canadian Bacon. First, let me tell you about the Canadian bacon.

Chocolate Ripple Coffee Cake (with Canadian Bacon)

Someone tell me, please)–know exactly how Dale Cooper likes his coffee: So I have whipped up a cocktail that is not only as black as midnight on a moonless night, but as dark as Evil Coop’s soul. Speaking of which, what are we callingContinue reading Twin Peaks Eats: Black As Midnight Cocktail
I’m still celebrating the Pieathalon, so it’s a good thing that Twin Peaks is so pie-heavy. Be sure to watch the great video at the end.
Last week I told you that, in honor of the upcoming Blu-Ray box-set release of Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery, I’d be dedicating Tuesdays to Twin Peaks. Here is a series of deliciously weird coffee advertisements that ran in Japan in 1993. It seems like a no brainer to use Agent Cooper and Co. to shillContinue reading Twin Peaks Tuesday: Georgia Coffee
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?
So after a few months of abstaining, I once again signed up for Foodie Pen Pals. I received a box from Amber, who is a college student in Virginia Beach. Here it is: The contents included a beverage bonanza of English Breakfast tea, assorted cocoa, and caramel truffle coffee; along with some salty plantain chipsContinue reading May Foodie Pen Pals!
