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

  • FND 6/27/14: Okinawa Soba and Sushi

    Okinawa soba is a bit like ramen soup, but the noodles are thicker (not as thick as udon).  This description will intimidate you.  And make sushi sound easy.http://sharon-thegoodlife.blogspot.com/2010/03/okinawa-soba-behold.html Here’s another look.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okinawa_soba So maybe you can bring things to roll into sushi or things you like that resemble noodle soupy goodness or rolled up ricey wonders.…

  • FND 6/20/2014: ピザ Pizzarigatogozaimasuwhat

    I think we’re back from Okinawa. I seem to be in my Claremont room, so yes. Fun FND Facts #1: Pizza Some people don’t know what to bring to pizza FND. Here’s what: bring your favorite topping, drink, or dessert. Now you know/have had the answer reinforced in your memory. Hurray! Neurons! The first FND…
