I had a thought at one point to do reviews of AsSeenOnTV! products here, since they almost always end in failure, breakage, tears, or swearing. And it’s more entertaining when I fuck up right? I found the Garlic Master in the clearance bin at Kroger and gave it a shot. Five minutes later it was… Continue reading Ermagerd! Pergs!

Despite ruining several sponges and pretty much eliminating my fingertips, it is with regret that I must announce the cancellation of my upcoming six-part series comparing, contrasting, and reviewing my collection of cheese graters. In light of recent news, and in spite of my  promise to avoid politics (because come on – this is a… Continue reading This post has been cancelled:

Hey Dishes – why aren’t you blogging? It’s been a couple months and nobody’s even visiting your site anymore. So here I am, with a weird and wonderful project.  But first, I’m going to procrastinate by reciting the theme song to Disney’s animated Gummi Bears cartoon, entirely from memory: Dashing and daring, courageous and caring, Helpful and friendly with stories… Continue reading They are the Gummi Bears!

Is that a typo or an accidental copy/paste?  No – I cooked all of these things at once.  One of the harder things about food blogging (besides living in a constant state of guilt over procrastinating, and having to field questions like “Are you still doing your blog?” from people that you KNOW keep up with it), is food… Continue reading Buffalo Blue Cheese Chicken Meatball Fettuccine:

Q: Why don’t you bake more? A: Shut up.  Why don’t YOU bake more? Follow up:  Seriously.  Mr. Dishes loves desserts.  It’s totally a thing that people who cook do.  It would make him ever so happy.  YOU like desserts too. A:  Because I suck at it okay? Happy now?   Reply:  Delighted. No, I am not much of a… Continue reading Not-So Brave Brownies:

“I’ve been collecting Alfredos for a month or so.” Question:  Why are you doing this? Answer:  I don’t know.  It just struck my fancy.  I’m medium-addicted to Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken from Sam’s Club, and they won’t tell me what sort of sauce it is. Alfredo is delicious, but it’s a pain in the butt to make and… Continue reading Contenders:  The Great Alfredo Showdown

Just a little tease for what I’m up to today:

Because I’m fairly (like totally a lot) immature for my age, I love to daydrink.  Or rather, I love any excuse to daydrink – bridal showers = mimosas, tailgating = light beer, and vacation is basically a hall pass.  The current political climate = bourbon for breakfast, brunch, lunch, snack, and dinner.  But there’s one drink I just don’t get,… Continue reading Daydrink Believer – Bloody Mary Mix

I’m writing this on the fly – I’m not even editing.  (Instead of my usual five-minute spell-check and addition of countless pointless personal details.)  I know I haven’t posted in awhile, but I’ve been busy.  Sorry.  Today I attempted to make my own one-pot pasta recipe, and it didn’t go great.  I even took a… Continue reading One Pot Failure

When you whisk in some cheese Just as fast as you please That’s a Mornay! (I apologize for that.) Today I’m trying out Mason Jar Kentucky Hot Browns, because it’s 92 degrees today, so I thought I’d fire up the broiler.  And I’m in Kentucky.  And I love doing Hot Brown things – mini filo… Continue reading Mason Jar Kentucky Hot Browns
