Tonight is the finale of Twin Peaks: The Return. And I am super-stoked, but also extra tired because I just spent the last two days making smoked cheese pigs and then editing a video about them. Please, check ’em out. Make it worth it for me. (although they are tasty and I did cold-smoke inContinue reading Twin Peaks Eats: Jerry Horne’s Legendary Smoked Cheese Pig
Oh. Em. Gee. THE X-FILES is coming back!!! This is the SECOND best thing to happen to me in the past year, right behind the Blu-Ray release of Twin Peaks (remember, I did a slew of Tuesdays devoted to that) and then the announcement that David Lynch is going to revisit Twin Peaks in 2016 on Showtime.Continue reading The Truth is Still Out There!
Today is the day! I should be receiving my Twin Peaks box in the mail this afternoon. Needless to say, I am very excited. Plus, for this final Twin Peaks Tuesday I’ve saved the best for last: the official Twin Peaks cherry pie! This recipe, from Twin Peaks: An Access Guide to the Town, was passed alongContinue reading Twin Peaks Tuesday: Official Twin Peaks Cherry Pie
OK, I don’t have any new content. Because I am tired. And the other website went up yesterday. And I’m just not feeling 100% at the moment. So, to tide you over until next Tuesday, when I will finally get my box set in the mail, here are some Peaks-centric links that will have toContinue reading Twin Peaks Tuesday: 1 Week Left!
So we already know that Agent Cooper loves cremated bacon and eggs over hard. But how does he like his flapjacks? Nothing beats the taste sensation when maple syrup collides with ham! OK, can we agree that Agent Cooper is just one of the best TV characters of all-time? God bless David Lynch for writingContinue reading Twin Peaks Tuesday: Maple Syrup
In one of the series’ best moments, hell, one of tv’s best moments, Agent Cooper, in the dining room of the Great Northern Hotel, sips a damn fine cup of coffee and orders a very specific breakfast. Now, I’d like two eggs, over hard. I know, don’t tell me; it’s hard on the arteries, butContinue reading Twin Peaks Tuesdays: Coop’s Breakfast
Let’s learn how to talk like you’re in the Red Room with our friend the Man from Another Place! I’ve learned it too: !kcor s’teL…elihwnaeM .lla ta gnol ton, oS .(yadseuT txen a.k.a.) seert eromacys eht–seert eht ni ouy ees lliw I .golb eht morf ffo emit elttil a gnikat ma I
In the Twin Peaks pilot, Ben Horne is courting a group of Norwegian businessmen over breakfast. The Norwegians seemed to be buying what Ben was selling; but eventually some shit goes down (you have to go watch the pilot to find out. I’m not telling.) and this happens: “The Norwegians are leaving! The Norwegians areContinue reading Twin Peaks Tuesdays: The Norwegians are Leaving!
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
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

A culinary smackdown featuring the best (gross and/or weird) casseroles that church, synagogue, and community association cookbooks have to offer.

Don’t get too excited. I didn’t make those, but aren’t these just the cutest things ever? Caesar Salad in a crispy Parmesan shells! I love Caesar Salad so these piqued my interest immediately. The dish was sold as easy and simple and elegant. And, well, with the exception of the anchovy paste, I already hadContinue reading Friday Fail: Caesar Salad Parmesan Cups
Over the past few days I’ve really got into the Halloween spirit. This past week my office had an autumn pot-luck lunch. What to make? What to make? With my collection of vintage cookbooks, I had to go retro, of course! And what says mid-century better than Jell-O? Uh, nothing! Considering I had lemon Jell-OContinue reading Tricks and Treats!
