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
Russian dinner! Woo-hoo! I wish that I had a phenomenal dating story to share about a brooding Russian expat named Vlad, but no. And we all know that it is because of the dating stories that most of you are reading Dinner is Served 1972. But, oh, what the hell? I can tell you aboutContinue reading 37. Beef Stroganoff
Dear friends, yet again I am serving up a dish that I can’t really tell you much about. So I am just going to use these canapes as an excuse to further illustrate the clusterfuck that is my love life. I probably shouldn’t even be sharing this story because it is so embarrassing; but it isContinue reading Canape CanaPleaseTellMeThatDidn’tHappen
OK, let me apologize for not having an actual weenie dish for you this week. I blogged the hell out of April and I am a bit tired. And it’s hot here. It’s supposed to hit 90 today in Baltimore. Which is disgusting and disconcerting–it’s only April, Mother Nature! But since it is Wiener Wednesday,Continue reading Wiener Wednesday: Fantasy Weenie Roast
It’s Wiener Wednesday and I am writing this from the comfort of my own couch, in my pajamas, watching the new Ricki Lake show–I just watched someone get a 20 minute boob job–amazing! It’s a snow day here, although there is no snow. Baltimore is in the pink part of the radar map. I don’tContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: World’s Longest Hot Dog & World’s Biggest D*ck
Well, let’s face it–every day is drink wine day for me. But that doesn’t mean that today shouldn’t be celebrated! Here is a little libation from a shindig that me and my mum hosted over Christmas break (yes, I’m still posting shit from December). It was a girls’ only party–so the book club ladies andContinue reading National Drink Wine Day: New Year’s Eve Bubbly
Happy New Year! You asked for it–ok, no one asked for it–but based on your comments it seems like you all really get your jollies from my romantical follies (oh, I love rhyming!), so here is a quick rundown of the year that was Yinzerella’s first foray into the dark, scary (yet oddly entertaining) worldContinue reading Online Dating Year in Review
I have no idea why I have been unable to write this post. It’s been completely piecemeal, stops and starts, a line here, a line there, and then just apathy. This dinner turned out pretty good, and liver is such a fun subject, but I haven’t been inspired to write about it. Eventually I justContinue reading 33. Liver a la Gourmet
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
Let me apologize for going all Pulp Fiction on you with Dinner is Served! and not putting my dinners in chronological order, and writing about New Year’s before Christmas. But this is how it happened. So deal with it. Anyway, I’m going to a little bit back in time to Christmas Eve 2011. Christmas EveContinue reading 106. Mustard Star and Holiday Glögg
This was my Hurricane Irene meal. Or, as I liked to call it: Hurrican’t Irene or Hurrilame Irene. I don’t want to make light of the flooding and destruction that happened in other parts of the country but here in my little sliver of Baltimore City, we never lost power or cable television. The lights didn’tContinue reading 76. Stuffed Green Peppers
I would love to say that this is going to be a rip-roaring, rollicking post about meat sauce. But the fact of the matter is this: it’s 94 degrees out with a heat index of 101. I basically want to just drink cold beer and fall into a Real Housewives coma (2010 NYC on rightContinue reading 20. Meat Sauce for Spaghetti
America. America. Land that I love, O say can you see the amber waves of grain? Land of thy pilgrim’s pride, from sea to shining sea, should auld acquaintance be forgot, it’s a fucking grand old flag! OK, I got that out of the way. Swiss Steak has nothing to do with Switzerland (a lovely country). ‘Swissing’Continue reading 36. Baked Swiss Steak (4th of July Spectacular Spectacular!)
Quickie weeknight meal! For this I used the leftover Canadian Bacon/ham from the Filled Omelet brunch a few days before. There’s no reason to waste perfectly good ham, am I right? I also liked the name of this dinner because ham rolls makes me think of Pork Roll a.k.a. Taylor Ham, which is one of the finer thingsContinue reading 14. Ham Rolls with Pecans
