FND this week will *not* consist of items belonging to any of the following food courses: Last Meal, Confucius Mansion banquet, sautéed cicadas

Be advised that the house is full of fruit. Melons, pears, and plum populations are nearly out of control. Also beets.  Adjust your mental stance accordingly.

Have a fantabulous weekend!

FND 08/30: Get Comfortable

It has come to our attention that the Season of Relative Calm and Relaxation and Perhaps Occasional Travel has come to an end. It is to be replaced by a Time of Sustained Effort, Attention, and Perhaps Snacks.

Well. We don’t know who is responsible for this course of events, and it does seem less than ideal. We would like to register our displeasure if We could find the appropriate authority.

Until such a time as We can complain — at which point the Transgression will doubtless be immediately rectified — We propose to feast on those foods from which comfort can be derived. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…

No. Wait. That would be tedious. Bring Us instead your family casserole recipe, or cupcakes, or Very Funny Stories. We’ll make fresh popcorn and pasta and grilled cheese sandwiches.

FND 07/26: Watermelon. Uh huh.

Okay and hot dogs.  Quite a few different beers and 4 kinds of mustard.
Mango sorbet.

I know what you’re thinking; it sounds ambitious.  I tell you I can pull it off, but if you insist on helping then bring what you like and let’s roll in the weekend.

FND: 07/19/13 It happens. Pasta Redux

So last week we had plans to eat homemade red sauce and all sorts of everyone-friendly  pasta, but then Pacific Rim called, and was all like, RAWWWRRRR WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRR SMASH SMASH

So we went to opening night and sort of totally forgot to eat dinner.

Take 2: The garden is producing tomatoes and red peppers. The pantry is stocked with wheat, rice, and not-so-sure-what pasta.  I’ll grill and grind some beef for carnivores, and we have a few green things too.

Go go weekend!

FND 07/12/13: Pasta with and without gluten

Several species of pasta plus homemade tomato sauce.  We have some salad fixin’s; bring anything that looks good in a bowl of lettuce.

Welcome to the weekend!

FND 7/5/13: Back! Breakfast! Because!

We’re mostly back and even though FND-before-last was breakfast, we’re calling it again because:

  1. That was a long time ago. Years I think.
  2. Breakfast is terrific.
  3. (Your favorite reason, which makes you agree)

Cherries, maple syrup, eggs, oats: we have these things.  Grits too.   What else goes into breakfast?

FND 04/12/13: Chili con delicious

Two chilis – carne and notsomuch.  Spiciness will be very moderate and very available for aftermarket modifications.

Rice! And cheese and sour cream!  That’s all I know!

Hurray weekend!

P.s. see if you notice anything different, in say, the kitchen area.

FND 3/21/13: Hobos and Posolutely Delicious Grilled Etc.

Hobo n. A baked-potato-sized, personalized foil packet full of various, usually canned, occasionally fresh ingredients which is cooked in the coals of a fire and then eaten, preferably in the dark (more fun that way).

 
We aren’t grilling people, if that’s what you thought. Anyway, they really don’t taste that great. 
 
We are however, going to have the fire pit and the grill up in flames in order to obtain barbecuey, broily, charry goodness. 
 
The grandparents will be here, so come try to keep up with them! No guarantees, but there might be dancing. They dance the Tango like crazy youngsters.  WOOOOOP!
 
See you then!

FND 3/15/2013: Pasta, in all its marvelousity

This week, pastapastapasta!

The folks are out again, leaving me (Mimi) to not set the house on fire and maybe serve up some dinner. 

 
When I say pasta in all its marvelousity, I mean don’t just bring a jar of marinara. We’ve got that covered. I want to see the strudels and the bow-tie pestos and the gnocchis. Maybe some ravioli and tortellini. If you can’t spell it easily, you’re on the right track.
   
Hasta la pasta, 
Mimi

FND 3/8/2013: Soup Sup

The soup’s up this week…

 Turns out you’re not supposed to toss it. That’s salads. There may or may not be soup on the ceiling and it may or may not be anyone’s fault……
 
Bread! Yes! Bread is good with soup! Anyone want to be in charge of fresh bread? (I just changed the subject, did you notice?)
Although, I believe the origin of the FND email/notice system was everyone bringing bread and only bread to a sandwich FND, so PLEASE USE THE HANDY DANDY COMMENT THING. 
 
There you are. Soup, preferably hot soup, and bread and companionship and a celebration for the end of yet another one of those ‘week’ things, and fireworks*
 
*there will not be fireworks.
