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 2/13/15: The Soup Course
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.…

We’ll craft vegetarian and non-gliadin/glutenin dining items…

FND 12/19: Texanukah. Hannukas. Big, Fried Wonder
The theme is Texan and it happens to fall in a holiday so the automatic theme-combo protocol is in effect. Also we like fried foods. We’re guessing quesadillas and latkes — big ones — will be on the table, and who can really tell what else. Chili? 48oz steak? Jackelope? Have a great weekend and…
