Friday Night Dinner

  • Feb 14, 2014: Love that Fried

    We are fried.  The teenager organized an amazing stuffed critter sale this week, and has decided to celebrate by attending a high school performance of Avenue Q tonight.  Our house has almost recovered from factory status. Meanwhile, I believe someone called the theme “fried” for this week. Stir fry, deep fry, pan fry, it is…

  • FND 2/7/2014: Mixed Culture Food Sculpture

    So we might be batty. In fact, we’re not ’round the bend, we’re down the road eighteen miles. Anyway this theme tickles our loony humor so let’s roll with it. Fusion food (put some curry in your taco or some sushi in your salad or maybe use some baguette as the bun for your hotdog).…

  • FND 01/31/14: The Food, Not the Footwear

    You say Huarache, I say Guarache; let’s eat ourselves silly on oblong fried masa which resemble sandals (in shape only) topped with, oh, we’re not here to judge. Here’s a little history: http://www.elhuaracheazteca.com/historia.html Just run it through Google Translate if need be WHAT COULD GO WRONG. Have a fantastic weekend. — * Dinner starts around…

  • FND 1/24/2014: Cha, te, tea, だ, 다, 茶, chai, ಚಹಾ, PARTY

    I got mobbed by tea party advocates. Not the political party this time, but my friend-people who want would like to sip tea-drink from cup-things and nibble bite-sized food-stuffs and dress-up in fancy-nice cloth-coverings. Thus, I suppose, they (and I) will celebrate the end of final exams. Or maybe we’ll just celebrate that it’s Friday.…

  • FND 1/17/14: flat things with other things on top

    Pizza Tortillas Toast Hubcaps Plates With tomato sauce and/or pesto and/or cheese and/or meats and/or veggies and/or axle grease. No dress code this week for a change. Come as you are. — * Dinner starts around 6:30-ish * Let us know who and what you are bringing  at http://fndeats.wordpress.com for self-organizational goodness. * If you…

  • FND 1/10/14: The sound of one hand eating

    In solidarity with an FND regular who has temporarily been reduced to the use of one hand*, this meal will not require cutting or two-handed hefting.  In fact the truly generous will forgo the use of both hands and eat as our ancestors did, with our faces. Soup and salad are good places to start. …

  • FND 1/3/2014: Breakfast^2

    Breakfast is the first meal of the day, not counting late night snacks. So. Oat & dark chocolate pancakes (think I can make gluten-free version too) will be a-griddling.  Bonus points for foods that somehow incorporate sums of binary products, e.g. 1024+512+…etc. Bonus bonus points if you know why. Have a great weekend! — *…

  • FND 12/27/2013: Throwback Throw-down

    2013 is so last year.  We’re going to celebrate its ancientness with an old school feast.  How old? My friend Thog here will explain: Hungh. Thog put meat fire. Green food fire. Fire good. Thog LIKE fire. [subtitle: We’re grilling on a wood fire; chicken, hobos and a whole huge pile of greens] Thank you,…

  • FND 12/20/2013: National Anti-Utensil Day

    This Friday is National Anti-Utensil Day* In honor of this age-old** tradition, we will be eating finger foods, hand foods, face foods, and tooth foods. There has been a call for tacos and hand rolls*** and appetizery things and maybe some drinkable things plus also some nosh-able things. Hurray! Sound delicious**** Also, hey S’mores! woot!…

  • FND 12/13/13: Breakfast and a dragon

    Here’s the plan: Laemmle at 8:15.  If that doesn’t work, we’ll come back and burn marshmallows in the yard*. Oh and we’ll have eggs and grits and stuff to fortify us for the movie. What? What am I talking about? Did a new movie just come out? Is it the MOST IMPORTANT MOVIE OF OUR…
