    FND 1/23/16: Soup and grilled sump’n sandwiches

    Friday Night Dinner (FND) this week will be a couple different soups and grilled sandwiches. If I were a betting person I’d lay odds on tomato soup and grilled cheese — probably in the form of quesadillas. Need any sort of preferred beverages, noshes, dessert-y things, or of course none of that and just stop…

    We’re never having FND again (this year). It’s your very last chance to experience FND (this year). Never again will we spin pizza dough, splash sauce on it, sprinkle cheese and toppings around and bake it golden brown (this year).
