Cooking with Vincent

In which I attempt to make dishes devilishly created by horror icon Vincent Price.

Cooking with Vincent: Quiche Lorraine

Lately I’ve been in a breakfast mood. Breakfast for breakfast, breakfast for lunch, and breakfast for dinner, so I decided to peek into Vincent Price’s cookbooks for not just a breakfast item, but an egg based dish, as Price starred in Batman as the villainous Egghead. Patrick and I decided upon quiche lorraine, something I…

Christmastime means it’s time for Christmas movies, and one of my favorites is Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands. A bizarre but heartwarming tale of where snow comes from, it also happens to star Vincent Price in one of his final roles, in which he plays an inventor. One of his inventions is a massive cookie making…

Last weekend I realized I hadn’t had a slice of pumpkin pie all autumn! Now, that isn’t to say I can’t eat pumpkin pie in winter (after all, quite a few Christmas songs mention pumpkin pie) but pumpkin is the flavor of fall! So over the weekend Patrick and I whipped up a pumpkin pie…

It’s the first Cooking with Vincent after our (partial) kitchen redo (which you can read more about here) and under the watchful eye of some smiling Jack o’Lanterns and flying witches, as I also decorated the kitchen a wee bit for Halloween. With it being fall, I can’t help but want to make food that…

Welcome to yet another installment of Cooking with Vincent. If you’re new to the blog, check out my first post from the series detailing what Cooking with Vincent is about. Vincent Price’s cookbooks really cover a lot of ground, well, I mean, just look at the size of A Treasury of Great Recipes! From main…

Cooking with Vincent: Brown and White Cookies

March 19, 2020, 4 Comments on Cooking with Vincent: Brown and White Cookies

I’ve never been much of a chef…I didn’t grow up in a home that cooked very often, and so the kitchen and I have never been real good friends. I’ve been trying to change that recently, as well as work to reduce plastic waste in our home. I figured a really good way to keep…

November things. The boys tried to help decorate f November things. The boys tried to help decorate for Christmas, so things have taken way longer than I thought. Friends are the best. Disneyland surprises. And a new car!
This morning Patrick and I went to Disneyland basi This morning Patrick and I went to Disneyland basically just to eat as much holiday food as we could. It’s been on the chilly for us in California, so I bundled up but wanted to stay comfy, and ended up looking like a David Crosby groupie. Not a bad look for throwing it together at 6 am! From the Holiday Beef Dinner Potato to the gingerbread cookies (the best ones are from Harbor Galley!) to the Cranberry Pomegranate Mint Julep (it’s no Watermelon Julep but it’s still tasty!) we filled our bellies right as it started to sprinkle.

It took over a week to be able to come up with coh It took over a week to be able to come up with coherent words for how I’m feeling after the election. Over on the blog you can find a list of institutions Patrick and I currently support or have previously supported. They offer aid to various threatened groups, provide resources, teaching tools, and ways you can be active. Link can be found in stories and bio!

Also this isn’t Philly! It’s Knott’s Berry Farm! Need a reminder of democracy, visit Knott’s Berry Farm’s recreation of Independence Hall. It’s free to visit! It was also used in National Treasure! Which came out 20 years ago today!
November so far. I can’t believe November is over November so far. I can’t believe November is over half over. I haven’t been able to blog for several reasons. 1. Both Pat and I caught a cold. Yes, a cold. We tested for COVID multiple times and were negative. 2. The election. Reflections on which will be shared this week on the blog. 3. We have started our office renovation. Well I guess we completed Phase 2. Phase 1 was when we build the wall. Anyway, we painted, laid carpet down, and moved some stuff around. Phase 3 will be making a custom corner wall unit. Meanwhile I finally packed the last Halloween box today. It was the bathroom decor, and began to deep clean. I hope to haul in the Christmas decor this week. How about y’all? How are you holding up? Have you decorated for the holidays?
We need each other more than ever now. We can be s We need each other more than ever now. We can be scared. I am the most scared I’ve ever been in my whole life. We can take today to rest and mourn. My simple advice is look around you. Find those you trust. Build a better community and future with them. And with them we will fight. We must never stop fighting to create a place where everyone is equal. If you learn of protests, groups, programs, anything, that helps others, post it, share it, encourage people to attend, and attend yourself.
So much is at stake. Vote! But don’t stop there. G So much is at stake. Vote! But don’t stop there. Get involved in your community. Create positive change on your own street. Make a space that is welcoming and inclusive. 💙
Houdini is ready to be packed away. 🎃 But in all s Houdini is ready to be packed away. 🎃 But in all seriousness, black cats are some of the best cats around. They are not bad luck and they are NOT to be used as live, temporary Halloween decorations. A very tragic reality, and a contributing factor to why they are often not available for adoption during October. Sadly because of superstition black cats are the least adopted, and make up roughly a third of the cats available for adoption. So please consider adopting one if you’re looking for a furry companion! They are incredibly affectionate and fun loving! 🐈‍⬛
I can’t believe the @anaheimhalloweenparade is ove I can’t believe the @anaheimhalloweenparade is over. We celebrated the centennial of our parade, quite the milestone! @patrickarlt and I took on a lot more responsibilities and it added to our growing sense of community here in Anaheim. While it may be over for another year, many of our volunteers are already hard at work seeking ways to improve our event for next year! 🎃 I dived a little more into all that Pat and I took on over on the blog! You can find a link in my bio! 🖤

Which was nothing short of amazing! Then we swung by the old Arby’s for pizza and cheesecake from Prince St.
