To close out National Cookbook Month, I present to you Robert Carrier’s Menu Planner. I know very little about Robert Carrier. Although he is American born and raised he found fame in Europe. I had never heard of him growing up. This cookbook is rather fun. It’s huge. (it weighs nearly 5 pounds) contains 300Continue reading Robert Carrier’s Menu Planner: Iced Tomato Vodka, Steak au Poivre & Blueberry and Caramel Cream (1984)

202. Chili Steaks
I hate it when I get to DiS1972 cards that I basically have NOTHING to say about. I didn’t take any sort of notes so all I can really do is present the card: And then post the finished picture: You know what it tasted like? Beef smothered in Hormel Vegetarian Chili (with Beans). ToppedContinue reading 202. Chili Steaks
35. Flank Steak Teriyaki
So, have you ever been to Colonial Williamsburg? I have. Twice. Once as a kid and once in my 30s. If you haven’t been, just know that the whole thing is just weird. It’s a little colonial village filled with cosplay American Revolutionaries (albeit, paid). It’s like Medieval Times, but spread across acres and acres. So,Continue reading 35. Flank Steak Teriyaki
BH&G Cooking for Two: Steak Night–Indoors
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

While thousands of people across the nation were hosting Mid-Century Modern Man Men parties in honor of this glorious occasion, Cleve and I celebrated in a more low-key manner with a Mad Men Tete-a-tete. Hosting a Mad Men-themedContinue reading Steak Mad Men (Steak Diane)
75. Pepper Steak
This is the dinner that never was. OK, that’s a lie. This dinner existed, it’s just that the post never did. Until now. Almost 3 months later. Way way back before the Super Bowl, Cleve and I went over to our friends Todd & Leah’s place in East Baltimore for a night of me not serving dinnerContinue reading 75. Pepper Steak
23. Barbecued Chuck Roast, Frosty Melon, & the end of The X-Files
Are you here for Frosty Melon? You came to the right place! It’s just at the bottom of the post. Let’s go back to 2011…. I was hoping to do something X-Files themed for the final episode of the series, but it snuck up on us. I thought that season nine was a standard-length season,Continue reading 23. Barbecued Chuck Roast, Frosty Melon, & the end of The X-Files
36. Baked Swiss Steak (4th of July Spectacular Spectacular!)
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!)
