Well, here we are. I am so excited for the last episode of Hannibal to see how they end the Red Dragon story, but so utterly bummed because it’s most likely that this is the last we see of this fan-fucking-tastic show. Oh, Hannigram, how much I will miss thee! However, I am riddled with guiltContinue reading One Kidney, Two Ways: for the Love of Hannigram
In a word: no. I owe you all a dating post. So away we go! (all gifs from RealityTVGIFS.com one of my most fave blogs) On a fine summer evening I went out on a lovely wine bar date with a guy who lived out in the county. He was nice, polite, all those things. ButContinue reading Is Your Date Behind This Door?
On last night’s premiere episode of The Astronaut Wives Club, Mrs. Alan Shepard gets all down in the doldrums either because her husband is in space or because he bangs anything in a bikini down at Cape Canaveral. Regardless, as she’s home moping, the other wives decide to cheer her up by bringing over food: bubbly,Continue reading The Astronaut Wives Club Ham Loaf
It’s here! It’s here! The season 3 premiere of the best damn show on television, Hannibal! I can’t say enough about this phenomenal television series. And, for serious, yinz guys, why aren’t you watching it yet? I absolutely love Hannibal. It has all the trademarks of a show that I would be totally down withContinue reading Hannibal the Cannibal Canapes Burgundy
Oh. Em. Gee. THE X-FILES is coming back!!! This is the SECOND best thing to happen to me in the past year, right behind the Blu-Ray release of Twin Peaks (remember, I did a slew of Tuesdays devoted to that) and then the announcement that David Lynch is going to revisit Twin Peaks in 2016 on Showtime.Continue reading The Truth is Still Out There!
In my Flank Steak Teryaki post I pointed out that it has been a long, long, long time since I prepared a complete meal from the DiS! set. How long? It was summer. That’s a long-ass time. I have been away from the cards so long that I didn’t even know that there are onlyContinue reading Readers’ Choice!
Us at Dinner is Served (and by ‘us’ I mean Brian and me) want to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving. And really there is no better way to do so than this little gem of a video, the Thanksgiving episode of The Liberace Show (1954). For no other reason, you want to watch itContinue reading Liberace’s Thanksgiving
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.
Today is the day! I should be receiving my Twin Peaks box in the mail this afternoon. Needless to say, I am very excited. Plus, for this final Twin Peaks Tuesday I’ve saved the best for last: the official Twin Peaks cherry pie! This recipe, from Twin Peaks: An Access Guide to the Town, was passed alongContinue reading Twin Peaks Tuesday: Official Twin Peaks Cherry Pie
So we already know that Agent Cooper loves cremated bacon and eggs over hard. But how does he like his flapjacks? Nothing beats the taste sensation when maple syrup collides with ham! OK, can we agree that Agent Cooper is just one of the best TV characters of all-time? God bless David Lynch for writingContinue reading Twin Peaks Tuesday: Maple Syrup
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
I think that even in context this would make little sense: But who cares? Stars and stripes, indeed! Happy 4th of July weekend, everyone! Be careful with the booze and the firecrackers.
I’m still celebrating the Pieathalon, so it’s a good thing that Twin Peaks is so pie-heavy. Be sure to watch the great video at the end.

For Memorial Day this year I went to not 1–but 2 Memorial Day barbecues. This is what I chose to make for the second party, to accompany hamburgers on the grill. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the 1984 Shirley Jones’ Favorite Holiday Recipe Cards courtesy of Ralph’s Grocery Company: I mean, it was aContinue reading Twin Peaks Tuesday: Shirley Jones’ Mexicali Corn Casserole
Last week I told you that, in honor of the upcoming Blu-Ray box-set release of Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery, I’d be dedicating Tuesdays to Twin Peaks. Here is a series of deliciously weird coffee advertisements that ran in Japan in 1993. It seems like a no brainer to use Agent Cooper and Co. to shillContinue reading Twin Peaks Tuesday: Georgia Coffee
I am going to say it right off the bat: I love Pennsylvania Baked Spareribs. #16 is definitely one of my top 3 favorite Dinner is Served! meals thus far. But you might be asking yourself the same thing I did when I chose this meal: what the hell are Pennsylvania Baked Spareribs? When IContinue reading 16. Pennsylvania Baked Spareribs
