FND 6/24: Comfortable food

Posted on June 23, 2016 | 6 comments

The UK isn’t in Europe anymore, Senators are staging sit-ins, my family is on the other side of the marble, and cats are living with dogs. That last bit is really not surprising at all, but really the world is stressing me out.

Time for totally non-drastic measures.

Time for easy to eat, delicious, probably fried food.

I’m going to bake sweet potatoes, make some mac-n-cheese (from scratch, natch), salad because its good for me and ice cream sandwiches because they’re not.  Anything else that gets in my way gets fried.

Have a great weekend! End this week!

FND 06/17/16: Tostadas oh yeah

Posted on June 16, 2016 | Leave a comment

Taco, uh, Friday, yeah.  Tostada/taco towers, lettuce, uhm, lumps, cheese clumps, pepper piles, bean bags, I think this is stretched far enough – it’s not complicated.

Happy (hot) Friday!

FND 05/27/16: Bikey/Hikey/Rolly Eats

Posted on May 27, 2016 | 2 comments

If you can eat it on a bike, on a hike, or just on the go it’s on the plate.  We’ll grill it, skewer it, make it into wee little sandwiches, put it into bowls and cups.

And eat the heck of it.

Ta!

The grill will be hot.  AND there will be piles of crunchy tostadas, shredded lettuce, refried beans, Hatch chiles and all the aforementioned grillyness.

AND

FND 02/26: Girl Cheese, Girl Veggies, Girl Meat

Posted on February 25, 2016 | Leave a comment

FND will be grilling things in honor of the first publication of the Communist Manifesto (today in 1848).  Or for the 1st buffalo purchased for Golden Gate Park (1891).

Which is to say, FND doesn’t need a reason to grill. Grilling is super all by itself.

Grilling is super on the sandwich iron, it’s great outside over fire. Everything is better grilled except maybe ice cream, which I haven’t tried so who knows.

Have a great fantastic wondrous weekend!

FND 2/12/2016: Pizza Pi

Posted on February 12, 2016 | Leave a comment

The FND Menu Scheduling and Food Ingredients Committee deliberated for hours, no minutes, no moments and reached a unanimous agreement to propose to the assembled participants (Sarge and Tabu) that today’s dinner be comprised of and/or derived from dough baked in a hot oven after being topped with such foods as sauce(s), cheese(s), and other comestibles to be determined by popular vote.  The assembly approved the proposal, or seemed somewhat interested, or wanted to play with the ball.

Happy weekend!

Posted on January 21, 2016 | 1 comment

Maker fest time at FND. We’ll lay out various possible sandwich parts on a Sandwich bar so everyone can make their  own ultimate perfect deliciousness.

We’ve got a bunch of wee sub rolls and condiments, lots of greens, and some cheeses.  There’s a grilling thing too for hot stuff.

Happy Friday!

FND 9/11/15 Cold Comfort

Posted on September 11, 2015 | 1 comment

This just in: Dogs Are Hot*.

Honest to goodness how can FND even think about food in this heat.  Here’s how: a whole ice cold crisp juicy sweet watermelon.   Almost frozen grapes. Popsicles — healthy ones, natch — and  anything else cold that can console us in this dry spell.  Just please please not cold sorrel soup.

Stay cool this weekend!
