Cats is a beautiful train-wreck that will ruin your Christmas. One of my food-friend websites has a thing called NAF, where if we just want to bitch or talk about something we post NAF for “Not About Food” so if anyone’s not interested in hearing about our work, pets, health, etc. they can just skip… Continue reading Dishes Reviews Cats For Some Reason:

So I’ll just say a couple quick things, then we’ll go about our business and pretend I never disappeared for several months. Writer’s Block is real, y’all. Writing can be hard, and so can finding the confidence to assume anybody actually wants to read your content. Procrastination, however, is super-easy and lots of fun! I… Continue reading 4 Cheese Garlic Pizza Dip

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!

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:
