    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!

  • FND 9/11/15 Cold Comfort

    This just in: Dogs Are Hot*. Honest to goodness how can FND even think about food in this heat.  Here’s how: a whole ice cold crisp juicy sweet watermelon.   Almost frozen grapes. Popsicles — healthy ones, natch — and  anything else cold that can console us in this dry spell.  Just please please not cold…

  • FND Today 12/12/14 Comfort Breakfast Grilling

    Time to make up for lost time in a big hurry with a late notice. Ray has been away for ages and was briefly back and is away again and FND is TIRED OF WAITING so is re-launching with three themes in one. That’s right, a 3-fer. Comfort food: whatever makes you forget the holy heckfire…

  • FND NOW: SOUP!

    Bring whatevah goes with! Sam and Maybe Meem

  • FND 12/14/12: Chili & tostadas (couldn’t decide)

    The weather today cinched it: we have to have a big pot of steaming hot spicey chili because it was a bit cold.  And we need something crunchy because it rained (what? That makes perfect sense), so tostadas. Tostadas are the opposite of rain. We’ll make a veggie chili and a meat side (to add).…

  • 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!
