FND 02/03/12: Pi*z^2*a

Posted on February 2, 2012 by | 5 comments

We are totally, radically ready for some pizza.  It’s the first time we’ve made pizza in February 2012.  Ever.

We’ll have the dough and cheese and some tomato sauce, just wanting toppings. By request we will try to grill some – if anyone can help us de-catastrophize that, we’ll all be appreciative.

Now  I have to break some bad news.  Please sit down. It might be better if you lie down. Can you see the screen? I can wait.

Ok.

We only have 2 anchovies left.  Actually it looks like one and a half.  We are very sorry.

As a consolation we have a big bottle of excellent ale. I hope you like ale.

FND 1/13/12: Hey we haven’t grilled in a while

Posted on January 12, 2012 by | 3 comments

Whaaaat? Grill 2 weeks in a row? Twist my arm.

Ray is back from waaaaaaaaay far away and wants to know if the fire cylinder is at all good.  So.  We will make with the beef and veggie stuffs.  I will make more greens.  We could use buns again and drinks and anything else that tastes better after it’s been kissed by flame.

FND 01/06/2012: Ready or not here we grill

Posted on January 5, 2012 by | 2 comments

New year, new patio.  Not only a new patio but a new fire, err, cylinder. Also lots of adorable weather. FND needs to take advantage of these circumstances!

We have lots of veggie burgers and really decent hotdogs, maybe a couple salmon burgers too.  To prevent scurvy or rickets or whatever I will conjure up fresh CSA greens in a brothy way.

The fire not-a-pit really needs to be test fired – so marshmallows are mandatory.

Have a great weekend!

FND 12/16: Wintery Rooty Tubery

Posted on December 15, 2011 by | 4 comments

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 09/23/2011: In the Soup

Posted on September 23, 2011 by | 2 comments

A tale of three soups: Chicken, squash, and tomato.
Once upon a time I had just cooked chicken* and made quite a bit of broth, so I made it into chicken potato soup.  Super tasty, but I also had some CSA squash** to deal with.
In a flash the idea: make it into soup with the CSA banana peppers.
Oh hey, what to do with these tomatoes?
Soup? A little spicey, a hint of cream? Could it be?

And of course, in the event three soups are made in one day, the Articles of Dinnerification indicate a quantity of garlic bread measuring not less than 1/2 the total wet volume must be produced. Good thing the CSA brought garlic too.

That is obviously too much food for two people to eat***, what to do? How will it end?
