Clark Gable Salad

Clark Gable Salad

It is TOO COLD for salads at the moment here in London and the thought of having one makes me shiver.  But it's hot elsewhere in the world right?! Years ago, in 2013, I came upon a mention of this on the internet. The Clark Gable Salad, on the MGM commissary menu,...

Jerry Stiller’s Chicken Soup With Kreplach

One night I said to Mr Rathbone over, and over and over again, "This is the funniest film I ever saw" about The Independent starring Jerry Stiller. The next day I could remember nothing about it.  Zilch.  Nada.  So we resolved to watch it again on "Stiller Saturday",...

Olivia Newton John’s Salad Nicoise

I was really sad when I heard that ONJ had headed off to that Hollywood in the sky. A thing that brought me extreme joy in the first pandemic lockdown was dancing with over a hundred other writers to Xanadu at the end of one of the London Writers' Salon's 24 hour...

Paul Sorvino’s Rigatoni Bolognese

Paul Sorvino’s Rigatoni Bolognese

This is another recipe destined for the Murder, She Cooked book.  Naturally, I was tempted to add some paper-thin slices of garlic, created with the aid of a razor blade, as we see Paul Sorvino's character Paulie do in Goodfellas. But I resisted!  No garlic in Paul's...
