THIS JUST IN:
Seriously the Farm Fresh box JUST showed up at the door. It’s full of glorious Spring greens, corn, a few roots, avocados and fruit (strawberries!).
So for an FND First we’re going to greens-it-up: Salads, a casserole-ish thing, plus fruit salad followed up with popsicles.
To appease the carnivore in and amongst us the grill will be busy with marinated chicken and beef.
Happy Friday and for colleges-folks, happy end of semester and end of the G-word!

Already a month since breakfast, must be time for banana fritters, scrambled eggs&cheese, pancakes and mimosas.
We’ll never have breakfast again in April of this year so come bring your best belly.
The General Pizza Prohibition has been lifted; no more will we need to eat bootleg pies snuck into FND by trained walruses.
To celebrate this turn of events we’ll DIY personal-sized and larger pizza pies. Bring pizza stuff – just carry it, no need for Odobenus rosmarus – or drinks or just an inordinate appetite. We’ll fetch dough and cheese and make some sauce. mmmmfireroastedtomatoes.
Happy Friday!
What should I bring?
Sometime during the week a theme will be announced; bring something that vaguely follows that theme, or goes with anything (drinks), or just bring yourself and a story from the week, or friend. Anyone can declare the theme, first one we hear wins. Some themes like Breakfast return monthly. The blog post categories are examples.
How much should I bring?
Any amount – use the blog comments to get an idea of crowd size which will vary from 1 – 27.
What can a vegetarian eat?
We really want everyone to be able to eat so let us know what you need and we’ll make a reasonable effort to have something that looks like food to you.
Our own cooking tends to start with basic raw ingredients and we prepare and cook meat (if any) separately. Onions and garlic get their own board too, but that’s just us. If your cooking/eating preference is totally different from ours, bring it! We’re always up for learning recipes and tasting new stuff.
What about leftovers?
Take some home! It’s not unusual for FND to generate leftovers. Do you want us to be big as barns? Same goes for drinks, desserts, ingredients, etc that aren’t used or finished. We will make every effort to store leftovers for future FNDs and dispose of them appropriately (burp) before they go to waste, but our storage space is limited.
Can I bring my friend/kids/relative?
Yes because your friend/kids/relatives are now ours by the transitive property. It’s just math, trust us we’ve got that covered.
Can I bring my pet dog/mouse/walrus?
Possibly. We should check to see if it gets along with the Zoo: as of this writing a rabbit*, big enthusiastic dog (trained), and a cat. Take a Claritin if need be.
What if I don’t RSVP?
5 demerits, come anyway.
What if I wash some dishes?
Then you will be our favorite ever person ever.
Beware the ides of March and of spinach lasagnas, unless you are not a Roman emperor, nor made of spinach. Also do not fear, if you are not Popeye the Sailor and so the thought of spinach causes physical distress, because it is possible to encounter lasagnas filled with meat, which are not also concealing a dagger.

This is a good week to celebrate triumphs over weasels and dastardly deeds. Weasels, it so happens, wear hats shaped like wee triangles. Hats that are delicious. So this week at FND we will eat these little triangular hats and they will taste surprisingly like pastries stuffed with fruit or nuts.
A meat (turkey) and bean soup is likely along with some ropey bread.
Bring really anything you like, best if it incites vengeful curdling whoops.

They look so cute and innocent, why must they be so delicious too?
Potstickers or dumplings it matters not; we will warm and pile them up and dip them in savoryness and *pop* eat them.
And because it is cold there’ll be a big pot of hot soup. Or two pots, or more if folks bring theirs….
Also: A tremendous bowl of greens simmered in veggie broth.
And: popsicles because the soup is so hot.
Have a really great relaxing weekend.

We are totally, radically ready for some pizza. It’s the first time we’ve made pizza in February 2012. Ever.
We’ll have the dough and cheese and some tomato sauce, just wanting toppings. By request we will try to grill some – if anyone can help us de-catastrophize that, we’ll all be appreciative.
Now I have to break some bad news. Please sit down. It might be better if you lie down. Can you see the screen? I can wait.
Ok.
We only have 2 anchovies left. Actually it looks like one and a half. We are very sorry.
As a consolation we have a big bottle of excellent ale. I hope you like ale.

Whaaaat? Grill 2 weeks in a row? Twist my arm.
Ray is back from waaaaaaaaay far away and wants to know if the fire cylinder is at all good. So. We will make with the beef and veggie stuffs. I will make more greens. We could use buns again and drinks and anything else that tastes better after it’s been kissed by flame.
