We have marshmallows for those inclined.
See you soon!

FND 11/7/2014: Stir Fry City
When the Sam is away, the Ray likes to cook in the wok!
We’ll have the rice cooker going along with the stirring and frying. Bring along whatever you like with or in your stir fry — favorite ingredients, egg rolls, noodle dishes or other tasty treats. We also have some steamed buns we can get going in the steamer.
Mmmmmm hungry already.
See you soon!
Ray, Sarge and Tabu

WND Wednesday September 24: Appetizers, Drinks and Desserts
Ray’s in town oh so briefly and wants to celebrate with you that she gets to be older every day! Wednesday, Sept 24 she will feel particularly older, so that’s when we’re gonna gather.
Mimi ain’t here and the teenagers are doing their own thing these days so your presence is particularly needed.
Theme? Appetizers, Drinks and Desserts. Excellent grazing food, so you can stop by anytime in the evening for as long or short as you want.
We’ll aim to be home by 5:30 for the baby-rich early-to-bed crowd.
We’ll aim to party past the Claremont ghost town hour (which seems to be 9PM).
Let us know who and what you are bringing here at http://fndeats.wordpress.com for self-organizational goodness.
Cheers!
FND 7/25/14: Breakfast with the Monts
Jacque, Matt, X and S are headed soon to AZ. In solidarity, Mimi and I are driving East starting Sunday until we run out of land.
Come stuff your face and wish us well!

FND 6/27/14: Okinawa Soba and Sushi
Okinawa soba is a bit like ramen soup, but the noodles are thicker (not as thick as udon).
This description will intimidate you. And make sushi sound easy.

Here’s another look.

So maybe you can bring things to roll into sushi or things you like that resemble noodle soupy goodness or rolled up ricey wonders.
Mochi for dessert? Or anything made with purple yams.
For a drink, something citrus-like and lovely — see shikawasa soda.
Yup. The challenge is on.
Ray Sam and Mimi returned from far far away and missing the food.

FND 6/20/2014: ピザ Pizzarigatogozaimasuwhat
I think we’re back from Okinawa.
I seem to be in my Claremont room, so yes.
Fun FND Facts #1: Pizza
- Some people don’t know what to bring to pizza FND. Here’s what: bring your favorite topping, drink, or dessert. Now you know/have had the answer reinforced in your memory. Hurray! Neurons!
- The first FND email I have about pizza was to celebrate my sister getting accepted to UNC Chapel Hill (4/28/2006).
- It was not (by far) the first pizza FND, that’s just the first time I had an email address to get FND emails.
- Pizza is a very long-standing FND tradition.
- If you’re lucky and show up at the right time and the dough wasn’t pre-rolled when we got it, you get to see Sam throwing it in the air and spinning it around and catching it (almost always) (I think always).
- Tomatoes are in the nightshade family, and in NC we had other sorts of nightshades in our yard.
- We did not put those other nightshades on the pizza that would be stupid why would you think that.
- Sam actually likes those grainy salty fish things to be imposed on his pizza, and unfortunately by association I don’t mind them.
- Did you figure out that this is Mimi? How did you guess? Was it the length of the note? I do tend to write long ones. I have no way of forcing you to read it though, so really you should just check the theme and skip the rest, if you’re in a hurry or whatever.
- I put the actual information at the top, to make that easier.
See you soon!
If you decide to come. Otherwise, see you less soon!

FND 5/30/14: Pockets
Pie is a pocket. An empanada is a pocket. Dumplings are pockets. Calzone, too! We like pockets, how about you?
We have some dumplings to steam…
Bring on the pockets!

NO FND: 5/9/2014
We won’t be hosting FND this week, but that doesn’t mean you should skip dinner. I’m sure there’s some food lying around somewhere else waiting to be eaten, so you should be fine.
See you next time!
