    FND 8/21: Comfort food: you do you

    It’s time; we all know we need it. Slow down, give yourself a breather. No particulars this week, just bring or suggest the food that brings calm and joy. We’ll make scratch biscuits and have butter/honey/other stuff for them. Something protein-y.

    FND 7/17: sandwich bar and fruit salad

    The challenge this week is to find comfort food that requires minimal cooking (so hot out).  That’s where sandwiches enter. Could be pbj, could be an elaborate, possibly illegal antipasta concoction. Doesn’t even have to include bread, but we did just bake some. Come as you are!  Or will be tomorrow, because today is Thursday…

    Hey sorry for the late notice, had a bit of a day. I’ll make up for it, watch this: Mac and Cheese. It’s in the dictionary under “Comfort Food”. Especially the homemade kind with actual cheddar that’s older than my nevermind.  And then grind black pepper over it? OMG stop it.

    FND 12/19/2025: Comfort Food

    I am working on a recipe for a hearty vegetable stew* with a side of bread/tortillas and greens. If that sounds like food, come and eat it. Also feel free to bring your version of comfort food; we have, like, very few rules. We’ll try to start around 6. Ish. *secret side of chicken available.…

  • FND 10/28/16: South Mouth

    Feel free to place “south” at any latitude. Ours is 35.9132.   Which might mean hoppin’ john, cheese grits, biscuits, almost certainly collards.  We won’t promise it will be all that healthy but what *will* be good for you is the California Proposition Confabulation (CPC). What? What is the CPC? Why it’s famous the world over,…

  • FND 6/24: Comfortable food

    The UK isn’t in Europe anymore, Senators are staging sit-ins, my family is on the other side of the marble, and cats are living with dogs. That last bit is really not surprising at all, but really the world is stressing me out. Time for totally non-drastic measures. Time for easy to eat, delicious, probably…

  • FND 1/22/16: build your own morsels

    Maker fest time at FND. We’ll lay out various possible sandwich parts on a Sandwich bar so everyone can make their  own ultimate perfect deliciousness. We’ve got a bunch of wee sub rolls and condiments, lots of greens, and some cheeses.  There’s a grilling thing too for hot stuff. Happy Friday!

  • FND 1/8/16: Grilled [stuff] sandwiches and tomato soup

    Grilled cheese, for example, or onions & kale, or nasturiums.  With homemade tomato soup. BYO favorite [stuff] and/or bread and/or drink. We’ll have some of all of those too. Happy El Nino Friday!
