FND 2/12/2016: Pizza Pi

Posted on February 12, 2016 by | Leave a comment

The FND Menu Scheduling and Food Ingredients Committee deliberated for hours, no minutes, no moments and reached a unanimous agreement to propose to the assembled participants (Sarge and Tabu) that today’s dinner be comprised of and/or derived from dough baked in a hot oven after being topped with such foods as sauce(s), cheese(s), and other comestibles to be determined by popular vote.  The assembly approved the proposal, or seemed somewhat interested, or wanted to play with the ball.

Happy weekend!

Posted on January 21, 2016 by | 1 comment

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 9/11/15 Cold Comfort

Posted on September 11, 2015 by | 1 comment

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 sorrel soup.

Stay cool this weekend!

FND 07/24/15 TODAY: Build Your Own Salad

Posted on July 24, 2015 by | 1 comment
>ZZZTTTT< >ZZZZZZZTTTTTT< cracklecracklecrackleis this thing on???

FND! It lives! It hungers.

“Salad” can have a lot of different meanings.  It can have a lot of different ingredients.  Except lutefisk, which is never appropriate. Sorry Scandahoovia.

Spinach? Sure.  Beets? Why not, we like beets.  Smoked oysters, right-o.  Carrots?? Are you nuts?
Okay sure, fine we’re not here to judge. Whatever salad is to you, we approve.

The important thing is, it’s Friday.  Have a great weekend!

FND 2/13/15: The Soup Course

Posted on February 12, 2015 by | 3 comments

Given the frigid winter weather (somewhere), soup seems like a good idea (pretend you’re cold).  So FND set out bait and caught a wild butternut squash in the live trap.  We’ll skin and fillet it, roast it and then slowly cook it in vegetable stock to make a hearty seasonal (pretend we have seasons) stew.

Green salad and bread will round this out, if we can find greens because remember it’s deep winter and with all the snow the stores might not have gotten deliveries.

Bring any soup-y salad-y items you can scrounge up, and/or have a great weekend!

FND 01/30/15: PPPPPiiiiizzzzzaaaaa

Posted on January 29, 2015 by | 2 comments

That’s not a stutter, we’re cranking out pies from scratch.

We start with hand-crafted organic molecules, artisnally formed into polymers based on xylose and arabinose.  These are topped with lipids in an aqueous solution with polymers of amino acids, onto which we add photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes, and pepperoni.

We’ll craft vegetarian and non-gliadin/glutenin dining items as well.

Bring your chemistry sets or stop by a handy local laboratory and purchase additional toppings!

Also: Yay weekend!

FND 12/26/14: Finale Food

Posted on December 25, 2014 by | 4 comments
The last FND ever in 2014 will have car chases, plot twists, and a surprise cliff hanger ending.  For food we will be clearing the pantry to make way for 2015’s groceries. One last, true, potluck for 2014. Soups are very likely, and home-made bread.

Happy Holidays folks!
