8/7/2009: All about Pasta
If you didn’t make it last week for appetizers and dessert, you missed the most awesome of bruchetta. We still have garlic breath, but our immune systems are dandy! There were also other treats including shrimp and homemade cocktail sauce, cherries, edamame, several kinds of cookies and an assortment of frozen delicacies. This week is…

FND 07/17: pasghetti and meatballs
FND is keeping it simple this week with spaghetti and meatballs, made fresh. You could bring anything that would help turn lettuce into a salad, or your favorite side/beverage/dessert. As I write this I realize I have a good veggie alternative, so never fear. NEXT week FND will be away, taking a hard-earned vacation. Feel…

FND 07/10/09: Grilled
Friday Night Dinner will be grilled outside, sort of an instant replay of last weekend, everyone had a great time I hope. Ray and Mimi are away so adjust your expectations, but they said we could use their stuff. I have Hamburgers, hot dogs, and even maybe a salmon burger plus several veggie burgers. Anything…

7/3/09: Breakfast
Hi Folks, The veggie extravaganza was a great success — gotta do that again sometime. This week we are having breakfast for dinner. We will wrangle some waffles and if you bring fillings, we can make omelets. I am always in favor of cherry pie for breakfast or really any kind of pastry. Fruit salad…

6/26/09: Vegetarian Delights
Our friend Ana is here from NC and we want to show her some good eats. We will make some Ethiopian specialties. Anyone make a terrific veggie lasagne? How about veggie chili? Mac and cheese? Please avoid veggie burgers — we have done too much of those already. Also note the new Lost and Found…

6/12: Sandwiches
Last week was souper duper. Really. Anna brought cheese and Jeff brought bread and more cheese! Mimi made matzo ball soup! Talithia made miso soup! Stuart made gazpacho! Ray made garlic knots and challah and banana fritters! Sam made frozen yogurt! Good eats were had by all. Some of the die-hard-anti-cold-soup-folks even thought the gazpacho…

6/5/2009: Summer Soups (Hot or Cold), Assorted Cheeses and Homemade Bread
If you missed last week, it was amaaazing to have just dessert. Sam made mini homemade chocolate-dipped meringues in three flavors: vanilla, chocolate and coffee. AND Sam made homemade strawberry-lime frozen yogurt AND Sam made homemade apple galletes AND Sam made homemade sauces. Deena and Art made yummy cookies Allegra made amazing “quesadillas” with cream…

FND 05/29: Just Desserts
It’s a 5th Friday – a rare occurence, so we’re going to try something unusual: just desserts. You always wanted this to happen and it never did (did it? you lucky rascal.) I will make a galette or 2; they will go fabulously with feta and a fruit reduction. Oh yes, it’s all about AND.…

5/22/09: Tacos
If you missed last week’s pizza-o-rama, you might not know that the national pizza of Germany is tuna fish pizza! It was pretty tasty, even though I was quite skeptical. Sam’s gourmet white pizza was a big hit and the other gazillion pizzas we made weren’t too shabby, either. This week the theme is TACOS.…

Pizza – May 15th
We’ll roll it and stretch it and throw it (which is stretching it) and cook it and eat it and you can help! We like to make pizza from scratch once a month; this month I’m eyeing a recipe for white pie – not something I usually go for, but I can respect it. Traditional…
