What you are seeing above is a threat to national security according to the dumb-asses at the TSA. Yes, it is a bottle of duxelles, otherwise known as chopped mushrooms. I bought some in Napa over the weekend while “celebrating”(?) turning 40 with some friends. I was thinking about making a Beef Wellington for Christmas [...]

Ahhh… step into my oasis, my sanctuary. This is the couch in my Mistress’ office. See how she puts the colorful blankets down so that I don’t get hair all over the light yellow fabric? See how I manage to still get it all over? It’s a fun game for us.

Hello - welcome to the Aspics of Fliets of Sole. Yes, that’s the fancy-shmancy name for “Fish in Jello” from my Gourmet Cookbook Volume II - 1969.
WTF? Fish & Jello? Fish… and… jello? Wait for it… FISH and JELL-O!!!
Okay… I guess when you make this the only thing you can do to make it [...]

(for threeboys1mommy)
Welcome to my litter box! Please, step in and take a look around. See how nice and clean it is? My mistress has to keep it absolutely sparkling clean or else I pee on the dog beds. Fuck the dogs.
Aren’t I a bitch?

So, I like Martha Stewart. I don’t know why - I just do. I find her impossible brand of perfection strangely mesmerizing for some reason. I think it’s cool that someone can take a basement catering business and turn it in to a billion dollar company. I like that she’s strangely awkward and detached from the [...]

For Mother’s Day Supper a few weekends ago, I decided to honor my Mother-in-Law by making everything out of the 1956 Better Crocker Picture Cookbook. She is the Honorary Queen of 50s Cooking, as she still uses the same recipes today as she did when my husband was a kid in the 50s. Her recipes [...]

So, I decided to make my very own Sandwich Loaf. I guess since I seem to be a little obsessed with them, I should at least have the experience of making one myself, right? (And, yes, I know that my sandwich loaf is hideous, and it’s not due to the poor photography.)
First off, who knew [...]

This gorgeous photograph is courtesy of The Betty Crocker Dinner for Two cookbook, 1964. I love how dinners in the 60s seem to be made of completely random dishes thrown together to imply some sort of “texture” and “color” composition. Like, what the hell kind of dinner is this?
Meatballs, Au Gratin Potatoes, Beets in [...]

Yes, this is my Mother’s actual Meatloaf recipe. Again, I thought that this was an old family recipe handed down for generations, until I found it in the 1964 Betty Crocker’s New Dinner for Two Cookbook. I love this meatloaf. But, it’s not traditional meatloaf at all - it’s very sweet and does not slice but rather [...]

I have a good friend who seriously makes the best cookies in the world. They are hard and crumbly, but with just enough softness in the middle to make them absolutely perfect. Her best cookie flavor is Chocolate Chip, but over the years she has made new favorites with oatmeal raisin, butterscotch, peanut butter, and [...]
