Announcements

  • FND 3/13/15: Some Assembly Required

    Additive appetizers, tapas towers, and a la carte kits. The plates will be greater than the sum of their parts. I know I’ve got salad and wild rice mix to accompany or start creations.  I’ll hunt for more flavors and update ye olde blogge. Hurray for Friday!

  • 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.…

  • FND 01/30/15: PPPPPiiiiizzzzzaaaaa

    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…

  • FND 12/26/14: Finale Food

    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! — * Dinner starts around 6:30-ish

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Halloween FND! Chocolate and/or Chili

    Dear friends, As you know, our nest is empty for the first Halloween since we were barely old enough to give out candy. Help us be jolly during this most festive of doorbell-ringing, costume-admiring, and popcorn popping of holidays by joining us for a delightful array of dinner items featuring chocolate and/or chili (and anything…

  • FND August 1: Comfort Food truck

    FND is bi-coastal today, so some folks may be getting two FND notes – lucky you.  This note will be most relevant if you are already in California, or can teleport here by 5:30 PDT. FND is curious what Mexicalbi means so it’s going to converge on Claremont Craft Ales this evening as soon as…

  • FND 7/18/14: Calzones

    It was my (Mimi) birthday yesterday or something, and I’m like old and stuff (18) (what the heck that can’t be right) (eek). We’ve opted to switch up the classic pizza FND by having calzones, which are really just folded pizzas. If I were to make a guess, flat pizzas will also happen if the…
