HOW EASY WAS IT? I will get to that eventually, but do you want to know what is NOT easy? Sleep. Ah, elusive sleep. Every night is a grab bag of GERD, insomnia, sleep sweats, racing thoughts, and existential dread. There is a meme that says something akin to “if you need three or moreContinue reading 120. Easy Baked Stew
1970s
From 1977. Smirnoff (a long-time member of Europe’s elite) had found its way to the dinner table. However, there was no proper food at this dinner table. Because these are models. The main course is Smirnoff Bullshots (beef bouillon and lime wedge)–the touch of protein staves off hunger. The lime prevents scurvy. It was a deliciousContinue reading Smirnoff Bullshot
I marinated the steak over night, but when it was time to cook dinner, I failed to read the entire recipe card (which is apparently a problem of mine as of late.

Missing eggplant boats aside, the difference between the two seems to be black olives vs. okra/green beans and elbow macaroni. So,Continue reading 166. Greek Lamb Stew
I was an odd child–for many reasons–but one particular reason is that, as a wee one, I devoured any and all shellfish and mollusks. I loved raw oysters and clams. I ate my first whole lobster at the age of 5, much to the disappointment of my parents, who bought two for a celebratory dinnerContinue reading 170. Tuna Patties

The Scarfolk Annual 197x.
Many readers will remember the two packs of Horror Top Trumps, which were first issued in 1978. What is not commonly known is that the first pack was recalled after 3 days only to be rereleased a month later minus one card: The Scarfolk card.
