I’ve been waiting for a good reason to bust out card No. 167 Picnic Beef Roll. And I found the perfect occasion–it’s International Picnic Day! (OK, yesterday was technically International Picnic Day–but I totally forgot to post this. Sue me). Of course I’d want to share this with the world! Look at it! Granted, itContinue reading 167. Picnic Beef Roll
Hello there! After so many weeks of weenies, it’s a surprise that I had not yet featured a dish from this cookbook, the 1983 reissue of Mettja C. Roate’s New Hot Dog Cookbook. I’m in. I want new and exciting ways to make hot dogs! The cover art is a bit of a let downContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Hot Dog Round-Up Sandwiches (1983)
Behold, the Gondolier’s Hero Sandwich! There it is. Look at that. Macaroni, gherkins, and cheese cubes floating on the Grand Canal in Venice. Is it a Gondolier’s Hero Sandwich because the bun looks like a gondola? Or is this sandwich the lunch of choice for Venetian Gondoliers? I couldn’t help but wonder… what the hellContinue reading 148. Gondolier’s Hero Sandwiches
Happy International National Picnic Day! 134. isn’t a picnic per se; but I am posting this one today because I fully intended to eat it as a picnic with Mr. Sauce, Esq. this past weekend. The picnic didn’t happen so I ate this by myself for lunch on Monday. First things first, let’s talk aboutContinue reading 134. Stuffed Ham Sandwiches
I made this dish back in February for a mobile meal at Boordy Vineyards. We are members of their Landmark Club. One of the perks of being a club member is the seasonal release parties. You go and taste the wines that are in that quarter’s selection. There is music and a big cheese bar.Continue reading The Best of Bon Appetit: Curried Turkey Salad in Brioche (1979)
I’ve been intending to make the Velveeta Jellygrill Sandwich for months now. On my week off, I finally made it.
Jenny Hammerton, the author of Cooking with Columbo and Cooking with Joan Crawford, and the mastermind behind Silver Screen Suppers is at it again with the upcoming Murder, She Cooked: a Cabot Cove Cookbook. In anticipation of the book, cooks all across the interwebz were assigned recipes from the cavalcade of celebrity guest stars onContinue reading Murder, She Wrote Cookalong: Thomas Magnum’s Crunchy Tuna Melt
No, I have no idea why I did this. But I did. For the past month I have been, bit by bit, hiding stuff in my office. As in taking my personal items and hiding them as though I have been moving them/throwing them away. It started when I gave my office a really goodContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: Teenie Weenies (National Day of the Hot Dog)
This card is from the 1973 series, and originally appeared on the blog on March 14, 2017. I am sharing this not just because April 12 is National Grilled Cheese Day, but because there is a GIANT update to this post. I lived in my row house at the time and had battened down theContinue reading Happy National Grilled Cheese Day!
Hello! Happy Sandwich Day! I honor of the occasion, I am sharing a post that first appeared in 2014. This post will be very relevant come the end of the month because it is a most excellent way to use up leftover Thanksgiving Turkey. Check it out!
This is an updated version of a post that appeared in August, 2012. There are more delicious dishes than last time! Hi, darlings! I want to give you some ideas for your Labor Day cookouts, picnics, clam bakes, or whatever it is that you do to celebrate the labor of the, um, we remember theContinue reading Happy Labor Day 2015!
Happy Elvis Day, my friends! Today Elvis would have been 80. That totally blows my mind. Frank Sinatra died at 82 and performed and recorded almost right to the very end. Tony Bennett is frickin’ 88 and just released an album with Lady Gaga. Just think of what Elvis might be doing right now hadContinue reading The Sandwich: Happy Birthday, Elvis!
Got turkey? I got a great way for you to use up some of your Thanksgiving leftovers. That is, if you like bacon and cheese sauce. And who doesn’t (aside from our kosher and lactose intolerant friends)? When “sandwich” and “Pittsburgh” are mentioned in the same sentence, the infamous Primanti Bros. sandwich is what comesContinue reading Pittsburgh Turkey Devonshire Sandwich
An amazing thing happened to me this weekend. I ATE A McRIB! How did this happen considering that the powers that be didn’t bring the McRib to the greater Baltimore metropolitan area…?
Yesterday was National Sandwich Day, which, should be celebrated nationally. It would have absolutely thrilled me to observe the day with a McRib, but, alas, the damn things never made it anywhere near Baltimore. So, I made a barbecue sandwich of a different sort, Pittsburgh’s second-most favorite sandwich (after Primanti’s), the chipped ham barbecue. IContinue reading For National Sandwich Day: Isaly’s Chipped Ham Barbecue
You know, I never intended for these Twin Peaks posts to be food-themed, but it makes sense since this is a food blog, and Twin Peaks is such a food-centric show. Proof: this scene where for about 2 minutes Ben & Jerry Horne (yes, like the ice cream guys) wax poetic and chow down onContinue reading Twin Peaks Tuesday: Jerry’s Baguette with Brie & Butter
So, the other day I was internet stalking one of my dates*** and I decided to Google myself. Well, that’s an interesting experience. If you do a Google image search for me, I am a wide variety of retro recipe cards, plates of food, screenshots from the X-Files, and pictures of my cousin, Jessica, who wasContinue reading Pittsburgh Fried Jumbo Sandwich
I already made Haluski to use up all of the leftover cabbage from St. Patrick’s Day, but I still had a lot of corned beef left, too. I wanted to do a casserole, but I also wanted to make a Reuben (which is in my top 5 of most favorite sandwiches ever). But I haveContinue reading Leftover Corned Beef Casserole (Reuben Loaf)
