Friday Night Dinner

  • 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. 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…

  • 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).

  • 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…

  • FND 7/11/14: Burritos

    Nephew Harry says it’s time for tacos and burritos. Who are we to argue. The planning will be professional and extensive. You may wish to purchase the appropriate technical protective clothing.  There will be rice.  I repeat: rice. We have already assembled an impressive photographic guide to assist with ingredient selection.  The guide is still…

  • The FND that isn’t: 7-4-14

    No FND this week. Even FND takes a break now and again. Have a restful day! RSM
