FND 10/14/16 Autumnal Delights

Didja feel that nip in the air?  I am wearing not one but 2 sweater layers today after shivering my way through yesterday…. yeah I know.

Bring on the autumnal delights – squash soup anyone?  roasted root veggies?  rhubarb pie?  Big mess o greens?  What food says autumn to you?

So ready for this weekend!

* Dinner starts around 6:30-ish
* Let us know who and what you are bringing  at http://fndeats.wordpress.com for self-organizational goodness.

FND 12/19: Texanukah. Hannukas. Big, Fried Wonder

The theme is Texan and it happens to fall in a holiday so the automatic theme-combo protocol is in effect. Also we like fried foods.

We’re guessing quesadillas and latkes — big ones — will be on the table, and who can really tell what else.   Chili? 48oz steak? Jackelope?

Have a great weekend and proceed to vacation if possible, y’all.

FND 11/9/12: Roots

FND has opened the root cellar in honor of autumn weather:
Mashed sweet potatoes, spicy roasted pumpkin and butternut squash soup, beet salad, and probably a roasted chicken.  Other vegetables as assigned.

Have a great weekend!

FND 05/25/2012: Picnic

Bundle your buttered buns and pack the prosciutto; it’s a picnic.  Pint-sized pizzettes, fileted fruit, and someone remember to invite the ants.    Or is that Aunts? Always get that wrong.

If the rain/drizzle/mist moves off we’ll fire up s’mores too.

FND 12/16: Wintery Rooty Tubery

Down in the root cellar we’re gathering provisions for mashed potatoes topped with parmesan, bacon, onion, garlic, and/or whatever else comes to hand and can be sauteed and then roasted for good measure. Because it was wet and cold. Well it was wet.

Anyway the yams are right next to the Idahos so they can be casseroled with some butternut squash and maybe a pinch of cloves.

The CSA brought some little yeller things, no idea what they are so: frying ’em.

I think that’s about it unless some sainted genius brings a pie, or a pie shell, or something to put into a pie shell.  We can contribute a Rome and an Ambrosia to that sort of idea.

Have a great weekend, this last weekend before the break, glorious break, all hail the holiday.
