I was an odd child–for many reasons–but one particular reason is that, as a wee one, I devoured any and all shellfish and mollusks. I loved raw oysters and clams. I ate my first whole lobster at the age of 5, much to the disappointment of my parents, who bought two for a celebratory dinnerContinue reading 170. Tuna Patties

Happy National Macaroni Day!!!
Happy National Macaroni Day! To celebrate, here’s a DiS1972 humdinger of a dinner which first appeared on the blog in March of 2011…. I am a firm believer that the only thing that should come in loaf-form is bread. Even standard ol’ meatloaf is pushing it. It is a line that should never be crossed.Continue reading Happy National Macaroni Day!!!
187. Fillet Roll-Ups
Another day, another DiS1972 dinner completed! I picked this card because I had everything on hand with the exception of fish. Well, I had fish in the freezer, but it’s cod and I don’t know how well cod would roll up around broccoli. So I went to the store and bought some flounder. For myContinue reading 187. Fillet Roll-Ups
164. Sauteed Trout Almondine
It’s National Nut Day! So here is a dish that features almonds, Sauteed Trout Almondine. However, my version of Sauteed Trout Almondine contained neither trout nor almonds. I know, I know, I know. That totally negates the entire purpose of the dish. I couldn’t find trout! So I pivoted. The traditional Almondine (actually, Amondine–we AmericanizedContinue reading 164. Sauteed Trout Almondine
Bertolli Baked Fish with White Wine
Hurricane Isosceles is upon us here on the East Coast. With all the wind and the rain it makes me think of the greatest weather film(s) of all-time SHARKNADO. Step to the side Day After Tomorrow and Twister. You got nothing on airborne elasmobranches! I know that I haven’t talked about my fondness of theContinue reading Bertolli Baked Fish with White Wine
151. Baked Stuffed Redsnapper Fillets
Now, after the fever dream that was 197. Pork Chops and Scalloped Potatoes, I present a more conventional post–one that a revolves around the act of cooking and the food. I even took detailed, time-stamped notes like I used to back in the day. Speaking of back in the day, I made this so long agoContinue reading 151. Baked Stuffed Redsnapper Fillets
Bette Davis’ Spinach-Stuffed Filets
Feud Foods™ continues today with Bette Davis’ Spinach-Stuffed Filets! I found this recipe in Johna Blinn’s newspaper column, Celebrity Cookbook (Click on the image to zoom in for the recipe). Things I learned about Bette Davis in this article: She owns many cookbooks and detests wasting food. “I’m not a penurious woman, but toContinue reading Bette Davis’ Spinach-Stuffed Filets
Jack Warner’s Broiled Salmon–Vegetable Medley
So, in episode 4 of FEUD: Bette & Joan, Pauline sits down for a Pepsi-centric lunch with Mamacita at a Howard Johnson’s. OK, maybe it wasn’t a Howard Johnson’s. They didn’t serve Pepsi; they had HoJo Cola. But that is neither here nor there. What does matter is the bit of conversation that goes on betweenContinue reading Jack Warner’s Broiled Salmon–Vegetable Medley
83. Filet of Sole a la Lindor
I wrote this post on Sunday, October 4th. It was a special day. The Jets and the Dolphins played in London. At 9am. Let’s take a trip in the wayback machine… I got up this morning at 8:30, finished up my Cider Slow Cooker Applesauce (will post later), and then put on the game. IContinue reading 83.

111. Broiled Fillet of Sole
Todd and Leah came to visit! For this special occasion, I decided to make a DiS!. Actually, scratch that. I was ordered to make a DiS! because Todd and Leah missed our Sunday dinners. And, since I’m a girl who can’t say no, I complied (also, I have to get through these damn cards by theContinue reading 111. Broiled Fillet of Sole
27. Swedish Meatballs (Readers’ Choice)
Snow day! Snow day! Snow day! Yeah, here in Baltimore we are getting hit by quite the winter (spring?) storm. And everything is closed. EVERYTHING. It is supposed to snow until 5pm tonight, but look at what I’ve got outside my window before noon: My street doesn’t even look like a street. I don’t think I’llContinue reading 27.

Fishy Friday Flashback: Baked Stuffed Bass
In the spirit of the season (and by the season I mean Lent) I’m offering you a dinner fit for a meatless Friday. This is from all the way back in June 2011, so I know that this will be new to (a lot of) you! In addition to this being a surprisingly successful dinner,Continue reading Fishy Friday Flashback: Baked Stuffed Bass
58. Scandinavian Fish Scallop
I had been looking forward to #58 for quite a while. It’s not every day you take on a recipe that includes canned fish balls as an ingredient, amiright? Plus, you can sing “fish balls” to this little ditty (starts at 2:10). Fish balls, fish balls, roly poly fish balls. Fish balls, fish balls, eatContinue reading 58. Scandinavian Fish Scallop
Friday Frozen Fish Flashback: Baked Fish Fillets in White Wine
Hello Darlings! I am sure that you woke up this morning and thought, “crap. It’s Friday. I’m not supposed to eat meat. Whatever will I do?” Well, here’s something you can do. It’s fuss-free and uses a lot of frozen and convenience foods. You can stop at the store on the way home from workContinue reading Friday Frozen Fish Flashback: Baked Fish Fillets in White Wine
114. Cold Appetizers–Thanksgiving Snicky Snack Celebration!
Are you sick of turkey? Well I am for only one reason: The Great Deep Fried Turkey Fiasco of 2011 (all I’m going to say is that if you promise to save some fried turkey for Cleveland, it best be there when he asks for it). If you are totally over turkey, this one is forContinue reading 114. Cold Appetizers–Thanksgiving Snicky Snack Celebration!
4. Fish Steaks With Herbs (and the Vegas Hiatus)
The blog was on hiatus for a bit because I went to Vegas. So I’m going to take #4 as an opportunity to ramble on about my trip. If you are here solely for the fish dish, you’re gonna have to scroll down a bit. Circus Circus: Claustrophobic and full of children. I have alwaysContinue reading 4. Fish Steaks With Herbs (and the Vegas Hiatus)
11. Baked Stuffed Bass
I’m not a fan of seafood that is not of the crustacean variety. I’ve mentioned that fact every time a fish card is drawn. In some cases I have been pleasantly surprised, and in others I’m all “I still don’t like fish” and in the case of #28 Tuna-Cheese-Macaroni-Loaf I was all “screw you, fish!”Continue reading 11.

46. Baked Fish Fillets in White Wine
A quick post for a quick weeknight meal. #46, Baked Fish Fillets in White Wine, includes a lot of things that I like: artichokes, asparagus, lemon, rice pudding, butter and white wine. Lots of white wine. But the main ingredient is something that I don’t like at all: fish. I don’t cook fish. As I’ve stated inContinue reading 46. Baked Fish Fillets in White Wine
