Today is National Milk Chocolate Day! And on Twin Peaks: The Return, Agent Cooper finally had himself some damn good cherry pie. OMG, that look of food bliss on Kyle MacLachlan’s face! I truly believe that pie should be celebrated on the regular. So for this special day, I’m going into the archives for a deliciousContinue reading Twin Peaks Eats: Cherry Chocolate Pie (1966)
All Twin Peaks fans–(what are we Peakers? Like Trekkies or Fannibals? Someone tell me, please)–know exactly how Dale Cooper likes his coffee: So I have whipped up a cocktail that is not only as black as midnight on a moonless night, but as dark as Evil Coop’s soul. Speaking of which, what are we callingContinue reading Twin Peaks Eats: Black As Midnight Cocktail
Four episodes. Only four episodes in and we’ve been treated to: Bad wigs, snakeskin print shirts, mysterious boxes, vomiting, outer space, and a chewed up wad of Bazooka gum on a stick. After all of that, I think that we ALL need a drink. For inspiration, let’s go back to episode two of season oneContinue reading Twin Peaks Eats: Audrey’s Freshly Squeezed Cocktail
FINALLY. IT’S SUNDAY AND IT’S HAPPENING AGAIN. I am so fucking stoked for this. I’ve been waiting 27 years for this. 27 years since eleven-year-old me was utterly traumatized by Twin Peaks. I had BOB nightmares for a long while afterwards. And even with subsequent viewings of the series (I think I just watched itContinue reading Twin Peaks Eats: Garmonbozia Soup
In 2014, in anticipation of the Blu-ray release of Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery, I did a series of Peaks-themed posts. Back then, the idea of David Lynch and Mark Frost returning with a third season of the show was…well, unthinkable. But here we are! Starting with the premiere of season 3 on Showtime onContinue reading Twin Peaks Eats: Jerry’s Baguette With Brie & Butter

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
Last week I suggested that perhaps for this episode I’d make a Joan-approved cocktail. Well, then… I give to you the Hedda Hopper Cocktail, a.k.a Malice in Hollywood No. 1 Ingredients: 1.5 oz Jim Beam Black Bourbon .5 oz Apricot brandy (Marie Brizard Apry) Directions: Add both ingredients to a shaker and fill with ice. Shake, and strainContinue reading Hedda Hopper Cocktail
Yesterday William Shatner turned 86. Dammit I missed it. And I was even assigned a dish of his to make by Jenny over at Silver Screen Suppers for a top-secret project she has going on. And I’ve made it (FYI, it was yummy) I just don’t have the photos on hand. Or the time toContinue reading Happy Birthday, William Shatner!
I think it was established long ago that I am a horrible person. Or if not a horrible person, at least someone who deserves a Jerry Seinfeld Award in Dating Excellence. Because I am still out there. Dating. And doing it in such a dismissively superficial manner. But does that make me a horrible person? GentleContinue reading 119. Chicken a la King (Happy 6th Anniversary!)
Let’s kick it off the week with this tasty hunk of meat: I miss you, Bob Benson. And I miss you, Mad Men. Here’s another look at that glorious Thanksgiving apron (and the gorgeous man wrapped in it): He is a cutie.
Hello again! It’s been a week since election day and what a shit week it’s been. I didn’t take the election too well (understatement), work is all shades of meh, and both Brian and Margot have fleas! So for the past couple of days I’ve been doing nothing but flea combing (gross), sprinkling diatomaceous earthContinue reading Hannibal Lecter’s Beef Tongue w. Horseradish
Back in June I was at the wedding of two of my dear friends Erin & Anthony. At my assigned table it was me, my date, Dan & Jon, some people I didn’t know, and my friend Evan and his date. Anyway, the wedding ceremony is all said and done and we are getting allContinue reading Playboy Gourmet Cold Bisque of Shrimp Soup (1977)
Today we invite Hannibal the Cannibal back into my kitchen and make his sweet Italian sausage. Does that make this a Wiener Wednesday??? I think it does! If you recall, I purchased 3 recipe cards that were used as props on the most excellent TV show, Hannibal (R.I.P.). And, as with Hannibal’s Pork Liver WithContinue reading Hannibal Lecter’s Sweet Italian Sausage
Hello, friends and fellow Fannibals! Did any of you bid on some lots in the Hannibal TV show auction 2 months ago? I did. Because I am crazy and had money to burn (my fantasy team this year–Hannibal Lecter’s Facemask–went all the way). A lot of great stuff was on the auction block–clothing, furniture, knives–butContinue reading Hannibal Lecter’s Pork Liver w. Bacon
The march to the end of DiS! 1972 continues with 71. Seafood Crepes. And it is a march because I want to get all of these done by March 1st and I am rather without inspiration. And I have no stories (dating or otherwise) to tell. But it is National Drink Wine Day! LET’S PARTY!!!Continue reading 71. Seafood Crepes
In the episode “Syzygy”, Mulder and Scully go to a small town because two teenage boys have been killed under mysterious circumstances (one of the kids is Ryan Reynolds!). Turns out that something is going on that is making things not quite right. While in town, our favorite special agents find themselves acting not quiteContinue reading Fox Mulder’s Motel Cocktail
Well, I feel like I’ve missed it all! Seriously. I’ve missed the blog, you guys. I’m going out on 4 dates this week. Four. All with different guys. One already happened (very nice young man. Army. I’d definitely give him a 2nd date if there is an offer). But because I was out, I missed the 1st episodeContinue reading ICYMI
