FND 12/14/12: Chili & tostadas (couldn’t decide)

Posted on December 13, 2012 | 2 comments

The weather today cinched it: we have to have a big pot of steaming hot spicey chili because it was a bit cold. And we need something crunchy because it rained (what? That makes perfect sense), so tostadas.

Tostadas are the opposite of rain.

We’ll make a veggie chili and a meat side (to add). We have sour cream and cheddar, need anything else that makes chili -~*C H I L I*~- and/or looks fabulous on corn tostadas.

This might be the last FND this year; vague plans are afoot to go walkabout. Enjoy the weekend! Peace, courage, fortitude.

FND 11/23/13: Dal, greens, rice

Posted on November 23, 2012 | 3 comments

A little lighter fare this week, no particular reason. A tasty pot of Dal, a lot of kale and garlicky spinach, and at least several grains of rice.

Roll this way! Have a great weekend!

FND 11/16/12: Pasta Pie

The misty pasta swiftly leads the pizza.
Pizzas drink like misty pastas.
Never command a pizza.
The big pasta calmly leads the pizza.
Where is the rainy pasta? —Poem Generator

So. Pasta. We’ll make marinara and we have pesto as an alternative. We’ll make some pizzas too. Bring a salad or anything to add on, or a drink, or just yourself.

It’s been cool enough for s’mores too – might want a sweater. Or hoodie. Or swoodie. Unless it rains; then you’ll want a raincoat and some galoshes…

When the FND note comes out at 4:10 on Friday, you know what kind of week it has been.

Antidote? Za!

We’ll have dough and sauce — you bring cheese and other toppings + drinks + dessert.

FND 9/28/12 Grillables in the chillables

Posted on September 27, 2012 | 7 comments

The weather is dialing it down nicely and that puts the patio on the menu. If it can be grilled it’s on the plate.

We have veggie burgers and outstanding hotdogs, will make some kale to go alongside. Bring your giant portobello caps or filet mignon.

This week was the something anniversary of someone’s birthday too so there might be dessert.

FND 9/21/12: Champions, Breakfast of

Posted on September 19, 2012 | 10 comments

The expression “Breakfast of Champions” is a registered trademark of General Mills, Inc., for use on a breakfast cereal product. The use of the identical expression as the title for this blog entry is not intended to indicate an association with or sponsorship by General Mills, nor is it intended to disparage their fine products.

We don’t want to disparage General Mills in part because they choose to make their cereal products with whole grains, and also because in the same facility where they make their food milling machines, they also make weapons (probably)* and deep sea submersibles (definitely)** and I never mess with an organization that has such a broad mission.

So where were we. Oh right, FND. Pancakes! Eggs, goobles of fruit, oatmeal, juice and toast with jam.

Have a great weekend, you’ve earned it. We’ll turn the heat down a bit for you.

*Just ask yourself: they made a submarine, why not also make a rail gun?
