FND 1/24/2014: Cha, te, tea, だ, 다, 茶, chai, ಚಹಾ, PARTY

Posted on January 23, 2014 by | 5 comments

I got mobbed by tea party advocates. Not the political party this time, but my friend-people who want would like to sip tea-drink from cup-things and nibble bite-sized food-stuffs and dress-up in fancy-nice cloth-coverings. Thus, I suppose, they (and I) will celebrate the end of final exams. Or maybe we’ll just celebrate that it’s Friday. In any case, come have a tea party!

Tea party appropriate clothing is required*

*Only clothing is required, dress as you wish, but it’ll be more fun if you have an interesting hat or something.

If you have potlucker’s block, just pretend this is cute appetizers, I guess.

FND 12/20/2013: National Anti-Utensil Day

Posted on December 19, 2013 by | 2 comments

This Friday is National Anti-Utensil Day*

In honor of this age-old** tradition, we will be eating finger foods, hand foods, face foods, and tooth foods. There has been a call for tacos and hand rolls*** and appetizery things and maybe some drinkable things plus also some nosh-able things. Hurray! Sound delicious****
Also, hey S’mores! woot!
 
See you soon!
–People who live in a house
 
*This Friday is not National Anti-Utensil Day. I made that up.
**”Age-old” as in this tradition is one day old, that’s its age.
***hand rolls does not mean somersaults that hands do. Don’t be ridiculous you can’t eat those.
****Like, super duper delicious with extra delicious on the side because I wanted more but it wouldn’t all fit in one dish.

FND 12/6/2013: Fried + complement makes whole

Posted on December 5, 2013 by | 3 comments
To honor the Hannukah that just happened but didn’t get an FND because Thanksgiving played the “but I only get one day” card, this week is fried food (on Hannukah we celebrate the miracle that is oil).

Since I hear that “fried” is not a balanced meal (not that I really care–donuts are totally a legitimate and healthy way to feed yourself), we will also allow things that complement fried food, and thus our dinner will be whole and hearty.

See you soon!

FND 11/15/2013: “Thanksgiving extras”

Posted on November 14, 2013 by | 4 comments
Jacque modestly proposed the theme for this week, Thanksgiving extras, because her original plan to cook children (with only the best intentions) fell through and she needs time to try some other recipes.

Bring on the autumnal fare, my fair Friday friends, and we shall feast as never we have before (and by “as never we have before” I mean as “as we have as many times before as there have been thanksgivings”).
 

If you are horrified by this message PLEASE follow that link up there. PLEASE. No children were harmed in the making of this message.

FND 11/8/2013: Pizza! Not just for breakfast anymore!

Posted on November 7, 2013 by | 1 comment
AAAAAnd we’re back! Yeah!

Finally! *mutters darkly about the lame lack of fnd mutter mutter*

In commemoration of absolutely nothing in particular, I’ve dug up a long at rest FND pizza message for you. I like to take them out for walks sometimes. Good for the circulation and all that. Here ’tis, written by the Sam-person himself for the 5/15/09 FND:

quote

We’ll roll it and stretch it and throw it (which is stretching it) and cook it and eat it and you can help!

If you can make a brilliant dough, or sauce, go for it, otherwise bring along your favorite brand of anchovies* or pizza-related beverage.

* by which I mean, ‘any pizza topping’, but never doubt that I hope you think I mean, ‘anchovies’

end quote

My personal favorite pizza-related beverage is root beer.
See you soon!

-Mimi

PS: Thank you for commenting with who and what you are bringing!

We’s gonna eat ‘Merican this Friday, but it’s Central and South ‘Merica, not North. I don’t wanna see no burgers. Unless they’re taco burgers. That would be cool. I like tacos.

FND 10/4/2013: Indian Food

Posted on October 3, 2013 by | 5 comments
I won’t hold it against you if you just bring those little pouches from Trader Joe’s, but I really think you can probably do a little better than that. Like, what about the samosas in the freezer section?

Those are tasty.

Or, you know. You could be super fancy and bring real food that you flew to India to get. That would be cool too.

But only if you bring me with when you go.

 

-Masala Mimi

 

PS there are still comment badges. I have no idea what you would do with one, but you can still partake in the badge-y goodness. Maybe I’ll put magnets on the back or something.
