FND 6/15: dumpling festival

Potstickers, steamed, fried, pierogi, matzoh balls, kreplach, won ton, gyoza, gnocchi, chicken and dumpling, pakoras… You have options.

Last FND with Ray, Mimi, and Sarge for a while, so get your fix now.

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.


* Dinner starts around 6:30-ish
* Let us know who and what you are bringing  at http://fndeats.wordpress.com for self-organizational goodness.
* If you ever want us to remove you from this list or add a friend, just let us know.

FND 05/18/2012: Garden Glory

THIS JUST IN:

Seriously the Farm Fresh box JUST showed up at the door. It’s full of glorious Spring greens, corn, a few roots, avocados and fruit (strawberries!).
So for an FND First we’re going to greens-it-up: Salads, a casserole-ish thing, plus fruit salad followed up with popsicles.
To appease the carnivore in and amongst us the grill will be busy with marinated chicken and beef.

Happy Friday and for colleges-folks, happy end of semester and end of the G-word!

FND 07/01/11: Intersection of Sandwich and Salad

FND is primarily a communal kickoff for the well-deserved weekend, but we do tend to push the culinary envelope a fair amount.
We’re gutsy, possibly even reckless.

Case in point: tomorrow we will eat food which could be presented as either a salad OR a sandwich OR an open-faced sandwich OR (just one example) a salad with toasted bread cut into small to medium sized cubes sprinkled on top.  Toastettes, if you will. Toasticles, if you won’t.

Of course these salads may be meaty or meat-free and the bread may be made from any grain or combination of grains, or even simple seeds.
Because that is just how we cook at FND.

Thanks everyone for the feast last week. Hard to pick a favorite but it could have been the duck eggs or the spring rolls or the fruit salad or the tofu or the stir fry or the Loco Pops pints.

8/14/2009: Summer fruit and veggie festival + nat’l smores day celebration

This week: We are celebrating the bounty of summer! Bring your favorite dishes inspired by what you can buy fresh (with bonus points for local). Then savor a roasted treat: it was national s’mores day on Tuesday and we have ALL the fixins.

Last week: Made loads of homemade fettuccine and gnocci and red sauce. Other folks made homemade chocolate ravioli. And pesto. And amazing salad. And lemon bars. And orange jello. FND food coma!

6/5/2009: Summer Soups (Hot or Cold), Assorted Cheeses and Homemade Bread

AND Sam made homemade strawberry-lime frozen yogurt
AND Sam made homemade apple galletes
AND Sam made homemade sauces.
Deena and Art made yummy cookies
Allegra made amazing “quesadillas” with cream cheese and chocolate chips and cinnamon
Talithia and Don were going to make margaritas and we were all stuffed to the gills, so we took a rain check!

This week we are having summer soups, sordid cheeses and homemade bread.  Soup can be hot or cold…  If you ask Sam and Talithia, it should be hot!
