Damn, Rudy. It’s just not right to drink cider and Smirnoff when it’s 80 degrees out! Well, that’s all I got.  I never thought I’d be sweating so much in November. Why’s it so warm? Well, baby, there’s this thing called global warming. Yeah? Yeah. All that coal and gas we’re burning right now—it’s gonnaContinue reading Smirnoff Adam’s Apple, 1972 (alternate version) →

I love autumn. I love the colors. The falling leaves. Pumpkins. Hay rides. Halloween. Football. Chilly evenings. Hot cider. With all this in mind, I picked up a half gallon of apple cider. And today it ended up being 80 degrees and sunny. I have the A/C blasting. No hot cider for me. Instead, aContinue reading Smirnoff Adam’s Apple, 1972 →

I am on Jury Duty, and there isn’t much to say about Card No. 192, so this is as good a time as any to tell you what happened in April. In case you missed it, I posted on Facebook that we are the type of crazy people who throw an fancy party with anContinue reading 192. Grilled Boneless Leg of Lamb →

I do some prep–slice the zucchini, measure the rice, and cut the sausage into pieces. 6:45 pm this is when I start cooking in earnest and brown the chicken 7 pm brown the sausage. ItContinue reading 169. Chicken ‘N Rice Skillet →

When we first introduced this drink, we were of two minds about it. “Tastes as fresh-faced as summer, we said. But was it, perhaps, a trifle “unsophisticated?” By this time the Bullfrog has acquired a modest but growing following who don’t seem to have any problems with it at all. Which raises the question: canContinue reading The Smirnoff Bullfrog (1975) →

When Mr. Sauce, Esq. goes out of town, two things inevitably happen when I am left to my own devices: I undertake home improvement projects like cleaning the hall closet and installing shelves; or affixing LED rope lights under the kitchen cabinets. I make the more unappetizing DiS cards so I do not subject himContinue reading 145. Ring of Gold →

As we all know, I’ve been away from the blog for quite a while. So, naturally, I’m a little rusty. But I didn’t know how rusty until I finished No. 152 and looked back to my notes: That is literally “all she wrote.” I abandoned it before I even started it. But I didn’t necessarilyContinue reading 152. Italian Pork Chops →

  Gonna tell you right off the bat that this was delicious.  And super-easy. I marinated the flank steak the night before, hard-boiled the eggs for the salad, and made the cream cake roll that morning (that will be detailed in a later post). I’m happy to report that No. 168 started at 5:20 pmContinue reading 168. Skewered Flank Steak →
