Welcome to Wiener Wednesday! This week’s recipe comes from an October 1975 issue of Seventeen Magazine. IT’S DOG EAT DOG! Partytime or anytime, serve America’s under-the-umbrella favorite in an irresistible round-about way: Slash frankfurters along one side, broil, and place on a hamburger bun. Fill the center with taste-tempting delights like the ones shownContinue reading Wiener Wednesday: The Frank Sinatra (1975)
It’s another Wiener Wednesday and another Dinner is Served 1972 card!!! I apologize that this dish looks super-similar to Pine Valley Red Hots from seven weeks ago (OMG I cannot believe that I have been doing these for nearly 2 months). Compare the Deviled Hot Dogs above to the Pine Valley Red Hots: Strikingly similar.Continue reading Wiener Wednesday: 207. Deviled Hot Dogs
Last night Mr. Sauce, Esq. and I watched the new Netflix movie Deadly Illusions starring Kristin Davis (a.k.a. Charlotte York from Sex and the City). It’s a doozy. Plot: Charlotte York is a famous novelist who is about to start her new book. To free up time she hires a nanny (played by Frasier Crane’sContinue reading Cocktails and Snacks: Frankfurter Rolls & Cocktail Cheese Mold (1953)
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.

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? The last time I treated you to tales of my dating woe was The DejaDate back in March. I know how much you love hearing about my OKCupid dates, so I opened my good ol’ datebook and looked back to see what I’ve been up to since then. Now weContinue reading Oh Hell NOKCupid
There is a difference between turned on and excited, Carrie. But the McRib, it does indeed excite me. Dear, sweet baby Jesus, please let the McRib make a triumphant return to the Mid-Atlantic this fall. NO ONE BOUGHT THE GODDAMNED MIGHTY WINGS.
I’ve been looking forward to this card because of its daffy photography. I love the massive bread knife and the sandwich made of sandwiches. Sadly, I did not make the sandwich filled with smaller sandwiches, for there are so few occasions that call for such a thing. And I don’t know exactly what those eggContinue reading 113.

Actually, that’s me in 1979. Yeah, it’s my 35th birthday today. And all I can think of is this scene from Season Four of Sex and the City (specifically the part at the end where they start filling out Carrie’s dating service application). I can’t find a video clip, but you can listen to the audioContinue reading This is 35
This dinner, from Better Homes & Gardens Cooking for Two, is one that I made a long time ago. Like months and months and months ago and never had anything much to say about it. And now—–well, I still don’t have anything to say about it. Holy crap, it is terribly difficult for me toContinue reading BH&G Cooking for Two: Steak Night–Indoors
