Here’s a post from before my move where I was trying to eat as much food from my frozen archives as I possibly could. Marilyn’s lasagne is GOOD my friends, very good! I am in a “use it up and wear it out” phase at the moment and this dish was a perfect way of...
Excitement is mounting about the movie Blonde. I haven’t had a chance to see it at the cinema so I’ll be tuning in on Wednesday when it premieres on Netflix. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a bit of event TV in the diary and I’m going to hook my computer up to...
When I heard that two cookbooks owned by Marilyn Monroe were up for auction (thank-you Di and Amy for the tip-offs) I immediately went down an enormous rabbit hole of research. I was here, there, and everywhere in the Google Machine finding out what time the auction was, what was included in the lots, and...
Time to say goodbye to Wookey Hole – Mr Rathbone is getting a new fridge freezer… I shall miss this guideline about how long things should be frozen for: I don’t have this on my freezer door. Hence of course, I feel that I am at liberty to have bits of cheese and portions of Phyllis...
Oh this was so good! Almost as good as a Bird’s Eye Potato Waffle – ha ha! I had some leftover stuffing in the freezer so I mixed it up with a beaten egg and bunged it in the waffle maker. It was utterly delicious. I am sad that that’s the last of the stuffing,...
The lovely Viv in Cardiff had a go at Marilyn’s Stuffing (recipe of the Month for December) for her Christmas extravaganza and reported back. Ah, doesn’t this photo take you back to Christmas? Is that a Christmas jumper I see before me? That turkey looks DELICIOUS! Here are Viv’s thoughts on Marilyn’s stuffing recipe… “Massive...
I made it, and it was GOOD! Very good in fact and well worth all the chopping. Marilyn’s original recipe, and the adaptation by the New York Times are in this blog post Here it a small portion of it about to go into the oven… and here it is after cooking for about 30...
When “Fragments: Poems, Intimate Notes, Letters by Marilyn Monroe” was published in 2010, there was much excitement at Silver Screen Suppers Towers, as it contained a RECIPE! Scribbled out by Marilyn in pencil, it’s a very detailed recipe for stuffing. I can’t believe that 5 years have passed and I haven’t made this yet, so I...
I knew it was coming, but I took my eye off the ball and here it is! (thanks for the tip off Jeanne!) The Holy Grail of Silver Screen Suppers recipes – a real Marilyn recipe. Until now the best we had was the fact that she liked to serve carrots and peas together as...
“I don’t want to make money. I just want to be wonderful.” Same here Marilyn. It’s rare that I write a post without it relating to a star’s actual recipe but this week has been Marilyn week and there is still NO RECIPE. I guess Marilyn was outside the key era for film star recipes...
“From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend reading it.” My meeting on Thursday was fabulous. I am inspired, enthused and excited about the nebulous entity that will be the book AFTER Silver Screen Suppers. Better get on with this one first...
