I dived deep into the history of Walt's favorite foods and, sure enough, chili and beans was probably his favorite. Like Elizabeth Taylor, he was very fond of the chili from Chasen's restaurant in Los Angeles. Walt liked rib-sticking, all-American style fare such as fried chicken and steak (see the handwritten list of his favorites below). In the meantime, here's a chili and beans recipe Jane Weeks Martin included in her 1963 celebrity cookbook, "Cooking As You Like It." Walt

💒 😳 🤦🏼‍♀️ 🥂🥩 💒 😳 🤦🏼‍♀️ 🥂🥩 It's Vertigo Night! In the movie, Madeleine/Judy loves to dine at Ernie's Restaurant in San Francisco. I'm proud to bring you an authentic steak recipe from the legendary establishment, from roughly the same time as the 1958 film.

It's a loaf story . . . Look what you made me dough! Taylor Swift is everywhere these days, and we know she's an avid bread baker. I did some searching and she hasn't shared any of her own recipes with the world, but Lisa Milbrand of Real Simple has some pretty good ideas of what Tay's recipes are like. Below is a blueberry lemon sourdough from Lisa Bass , to fill in Tay's sourdough bread recipe Blank Space. Let me know what you think! 🫐 🍋 🍞 🫐 🍋 🍞 Easy Sourdough Bluebe

Drink your juice, Shelby—it's movie night! (The line is actually "Drink the juice, honey." but who am I to judge.) If you've just been in a very bad mood for forty years, this wildly popular 1989 dramedy is just the thing to get you laughing (and, spoiler alert: crying) again. Here are two Shelby-inspired adult beverages to kick things off, then a Low Country Boil worthy of Truvy and Annelle, and of course a Cuppa Cuppa Cuppa cake for dessert. There's even a bonus red velvet
