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 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 3/16/12: Lasagnas
Beware the ides of March and of spinach lasagnas, unless you are not a Roman emperor, nor made of spinach. Also do not fear, if you are not Popeye the Sailor and so the thought of spinach causes physical distress, because it is possible to encounter lasagnas filled with meat, which are not also concealing a dagger.

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.

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.

FND 01/21/11 Fried rice, steamed dumplings
Today we toil but let us wok together into the peas-ful world of tamari.
We’re working hard to clean out our fridge (come help!) – might be out of more stuff than usual and push more leftovers on you.
We do still have some regular and adult beverages; need dessert and your favorite ingredients, dish, or person.
