The new recipe of the month is up and it’s a house favourite. Vatrouskis. I realise to my horror that I’ve been calling these VaStrouskis for about a year and the blog is littered with spelling mistakes to correct (ditto my crazy spelling of Anna Mae Wong which I still have to fix). I feel [...]
William Powell’s Vatrouskis
by Jenny on 11. Mar, 2011 in William Powell
Silver Screen Suppers Towers is as clean as a new pin. My parents are coming to visit for the very first time tomorrow and I want to make a very good impression. It’s a big deal for me have taken the step to find somewhere to live on my lonesome and I really hope they [...]
William Powell’s Vastroukis
by Jenny on 31. Jan, 2011 in William Powell
Oh what a weekend! A fantastic night out with Nazimova, Marijana, Sasha, Jasminka and many folk I haven’t seen for a long while jumping up and down to the Penny Black Remedy – man they ROCKED! And to the other extreme, a photo shoot with three clasically trained musicians I’ll be performing with in the [...]
William Powell’s Vastroukis, Rudolph Valentino’s Secret Spaghetti Sauce and Agnes Ayres’ Chocolate Mousse
by Jenny on 30. Nov, 2010 in Agnes Ayres, Rudolph Valentino, William Powell
What a lovely lunch on Sunday. Jeanne was here from Atlanta – we had never met before but have corresponded about many Silver Screen Suppers recipes. She makes me laugh like a drain with her emails and pictures of things like Gene Kelly’s Greatest Man Sandwich in the World with a big bite taken out [...]
Joan Crawford’s Cheese Straws, William Powell’s Vastroukis and Vincent Price Goulash
by Jenny on 21. Nov, 2010 in Joan Crawford, Vincent Price, William Powell
The Goulash has been in the slow cooker overnight and I’m about to construct a big batch of BISQUICK so that I can make some JC Cheese Straws as I have a BIG lunch party today. It’s a bit of a welcome-back-the-newlyweds party for Grace and Douglas. Wedding guests William, Cary, James and Daryl are [...]
William Powell’s Vatrouskis version 2
by Jenny on 02. Sep, 2010 in William Powell
I made a second batch of the Vatrouskis this morning and took them into work. A big hit. I may have to make another lot tomorrow as they went on the special “treats” spot around 9.40 and were gone by 9.45! Might try a variation with filo pastry sometime. Paulette’s suggestion that adding a few [...]
William Powell’s Vatrouskis and Joan Crawford’s Peanut Butter and Bacon Canapes
by Jenny on 30. Aug, 2010 in Joan Crawford, William Powell
I’m in a drunken stupour at 8pm listening to Blur’s “Girls and Boys” on the radio and feeling a special relationship to the bassline just because I sat next to Alex James on Market Kitchen and absorbed some of his aura. Oh how lovely. Maybe this is what the fans of the stars of the [...]
William Powell’s Beets Piquants
by Jenny on 01. Jun, 2010 in William Powell
Oh the lovely William. His moustache puts me in mind of Charley’s. I am so, so, so loving my new home. Boxes everywhere and lots of scrabbling going on every time I need to find anything but I’m loving it. 10 year old Shirley popped in for a snoop around on Saturday and her reaction [...]
William Powell’s Baked Artichokes With Cheese
by admin on 06. Mar, 2010 in Bing Crosby, William Powell
“Cultivate solitude and quiet and a few sincere friends…” I wholeheartedly agree William as I pursue my weekend of self-imposed solitude. There has been much cooking and much writing already and tomorrow I will speak to no-one. I’ve done enough talking this week, now for some peace and quiet! I kicked off my Silver Screen [...]
William Powell’s Beets Piquants
by admin on 06. Dec, 2009 in William Powell
“Cultivate solitude and quiet and a few sincere friends, rather than mob merriment, noise and thousands of nodding acquaintances.” I am trying to William, but it is DECEMBER and therefore I have the double whammy of Christmas and my birthday which, I’m afraid, always results in mob merriment. I guess I’ll just have to relax [...]
