FND Eats

Friday Night Dinner

  • 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…

  • FND 11-14-2014: Grillin’ and Chillin’

    The weather is cooling off and we are ready to fire up the grill and firepit. We have marshmallows for those inclined. See you soon! Sam and Ray

  • FND 11/7/2014: Stir Fry City

    When the Sam is away, the Ray likes to cook in the wok! We’ll have the rice cooker going along with the stirring and frying. Bring along whatever you like with or in your stir fry — favorite ingredients, egg rolls, noodle dishes or other tasty treats. We also have some steamed buns we can…

  • 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.

  • WND Wednesday September 24: Appetizers, Drinks and Desserts

    Ray’s in town oh so briefly and wants to celebrate with you that she gets to be older every day!  Wednesday, Sept 24 she will feel particularly older, so that’s when we’re gonna gather. Mimi ain’t here and the teenagers are doing their own thing these days so your presence is particularly needed. Theme?  Appetizers,…

  • 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 7/25/14: Breakfast with the Monts

    Jacque, Matt, X and S are headed soon to AZ.  In solidarity, Mimi and I are driving East starting Sunday until we run out of land. Come stuff your face and wish us well! xoxoxRay (never as funny but slightly less lazy than SaMimi).
