FND – NC 11/14/2025: Breakfast

Yep, FND is happening, yep the website is back in action so you can see the who and what and leave a robust, detailed, creative, but not too creative, relevant, but not too relevant, comment that possibly includes what food item, drink, game, secret information you will bring.

FND & BDay(s) & TTFN

Dearest FND-ers,
 
One more FND before y’all take this over*.   Gather for a celebratory potluck, 6:30 in Higginbotham park
BYO food/drink/necessities.
 
If we don’t see you, next time in DC.  We’ll put you up and buy your (free) museum tickets.
 
Love,
the Levy Kome folk.
 
* Which intrepid soul will take the reins, i.e. this email account and a wordpress blog?

FND 03/23/18 smokin’

Hickory smoke a trout and rockfish, toast some dough rolled exquisitely thin, and steam some greens.  That’s a start. What else?

Weekend!

FND 1/19/18: Once more, with feeling (pizza)

Last week we promised pizza and then were overcome with laziness, fatigue, and inertia.  All three!  Some really great not-pizza happened instead.

Well guess what. We just got a new pizza stone. We have sauce. We have mozzarella. We have toppings.

We’re totally, 100% making pizzas tonight. Got a favorite topping? Bring it. It won’t end up in a weird soup or salad or casserole. It’ll go right on a pizza. Or bring a drink and a friend, or just go have a great weekend, you earned it.

FND 01/05/2018: pizza premiere

For the first time ever (in 2018), FND will spin up pizza, stir up salad and, simmer soup.

BYO favorites to casually toss into/onto any or all of those.  We have just a stupid amount of kalamata olives; don’t need to bring those.

Welcome to The Future[TM]!

FND 12/15/17: Long Live the LBS

WHEREAS, the Local Bike Shop (LBS) is a venerable institution made of gears and human locomotion; and
WHEREAS, the Big Box Store and now the internet have severely damaged the LBS causing it Retreat and Transform; and
WHEREAS, the nature of the bicycle is inherently resource and climate friendly; and
WHEREAS, we really don’t need any justification and this list is already over-long;
NOW, THEREFORE, we declare that Friday Night Dinner will be held in conjunction with and spatially proximal to the Last Coates Cyclery Celebration and Jamboree at Pappas Artisanal and hereby ORDER:
I. Probably the TARTUFO DI BLANCO pizza
II. You to enjoy the weekend

IN WITNESS WHEREOF,
in consideration of the foregoing, including the recital paragraphs, and with the Parties intending to be legally bound, the Parties do hereby execute this Agreement this 14th day of December 2017.

(You, the Reader)
(Us, the Writers)

FND 12/8/2017: Breakfast by the numbers

According to the internet — which is infallible — breakfast is composed of the following colors, in order*:
camel canterbury clay desert double dust fallow goldie lion piha sand triple wood brown boomerang cape cigar copper magma matai momentum oak old palliser palm sugar walnut fiery paarl pasifika smoke style tree wood orange chips fish sunkissed

So go hunt and gather. Any grocery worth their #cdd3ca (Sherwin Williams Sea Salt) will be able to fulfill a shopping list comprised of these specific color tags. Should be no problem. Better cookbooks have a color index; if yours don’t consider upgrades.

Have a great weekend!

*Say What?
1. Google image search “breakfast”
2. save the resulting page as an image (I used the Fireshot extension in Firefox)
3. crop out the text and whatnots
4. remove Obviously Not Food pixels (I used Gimp)
5. Upload the image to someones color analysis thingy (I used http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/color-summarizer)
6. Scratch your head, laugh, more scratching
7. Profit!

FND TODAY EQUALS YES

We had to run and re-run the calculations using the latest, state of the art machine learning algorithms in a reverse carrier frobotznollifier to determine that YES, FND is happening. Tonight.

It’s going to occur in proximity to the grill and will involve fire. The frobotznollifier is pretty clear about those factors. Additional factors may emerge; you may be one of them. I’d guess s’mores are another.

Bring your favorite fire-ready food parameters.

Have a great weekend!

FND 10/13/18 Breakfast from yonder

Breakfast happens all over the world, but if two breakfasts meet, will they recognize each other?  We need to find out, for science.  It’s important.

Smoked salmon, pickled stuff, & goat cheese; meet baked eggs with mushrooms and parmesan.  And our neighbor tortillas, rice, beans, and eggs with salsa.

Spin the globe, pick a recipe. Pretend it’s a breakfast.

We have lots of fruit, good numbers of eggs and enough goat cheese, parmesan and cheddar to destabilize international trade.

Happy Friday! Have a great weekend.

FND 09/29: Hellllllooooooooo

How does this FND thing work? The summer has been long and far too full of events, good and not-so-good.   FND has been AWOL.  We’re very sorry about that, and will get it back on schedule, starting…TONIGHT it’s back, and is all about greens and fruit and grilled stuffs.

Also popsicles.

And a small controlled fire in the fire pit; bring your _other_ tax documents or whatever needs cleansing by fire.

And that’s all for now; have a great weekend!
