  • FND 02/03/12: Pi*z^2*a

    We are totally, radically ready for some pizza.  It’s the first time we’ve made pizza in February 2012.  Ever. We’ll have the dough and cheese and some tomato sauce, just wanting toppings. By request we will try to grill some – if anyone can help us de-catastrophize that, we’ll all be appreciative. Now  I have…

  • FND 1/13/12: Hey we haven’t grilled in a while

    Whaaaat? Grill 2 weeks in a row? Twist my arm. Ray is back from waaaaaaaaay far away and wants to know if the fire cylinder is at all good.  So.  We will make with the beef and veggie stuffs.  I will make more greens.  We could use buns again and drinks and anything else that…

  • FND 01/06/2012: Ready or not here we grill

    New year, new patio.  Not only a new patio but a new fire, err, cylinder. Also lots of adorable weather. FND needs to take advantage of these circumstances! We have lots of veggie burgers and really decent hotdogs, maybe a couple salmon burgers too.  To prevent scurvy or rickets or whatever I will conjure up…

  • FND 12/16: Wintery Rooty Tubery

    Down in the root cellar we’re gathering provisions for mashed potatoes topped with parmesan, bacon, onion, garlic, and/or whatever else comes to hand and can be sauteed and then roasted for good measure. Because it was wet and cold. Well it was wet. Anyway the yams are right next to the Idahos so they can…

  • Early FND 12/9/2011: Soup and Sandwiches

    NEW BAT-TIME (for this week only):  5PM Bring on the excellent bread and all the fixings.  Pile ’em high.  Ray will avert her eyes while you dip ’em in the soup.  (Yuck, soggy!)  The Levy-Kome social butterflies didn’t want to miss FND, but we gotta skedaddle about 7 so c’mon early! whew! what a week. …

  • FND 11/18/2011: Breakfast!

    We are all in town and ready to eat some serious breakfast. Ray will make cheesy grits. Sam will make waffles!

  • FND 09/23/2011: In the Soup

    A tale of three soups: Chicken, squash, and tomato. Once upon a time I had just cooked chicken* and made quite a bit of broth, so I made it into chicken potato soup.  Super tasty, but I also had some CSA squash** to deal with. In a flash the idea: make it into soup with…

  • FND 8/5/11: The first meal of the day, redux

    Breakfast!  English muffin with avocado, sliced cherry tomatoes, poached egg and a sploink of goats’ cheese.  Pancakes with mashed strawberry and pear topping.  Oats with raisins and pecans, etc etc.  Breakfast!

  • FND 07/08/11: Stuffed baked potatoes and appetizgasbord

    On this, the last* FND of the Summer of 2011, the good citizens will gather around their table of tubers, and yea they will descend on the fluffy starch nuggets and assorted suitable condiments with steely knives and ravenous appetites. Also there will be a variety of pre-feast noshies. So: bring your favorite person, potato…

  • FND 07/01/11: Intersection of Sandwich and Salad

    FND is primarily a communal kickoff for the well-deserved weekend, but we do tend to push the culinary envelope a fair amount. We’re gutsy, possibly even reckless. Case in point: tomorrow we will eat food which could be presented as either a salad OR a sandwich OR an open-faced sandwich OR (just one example) a…
