Friday Night Dinner

  • 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…

  • FND 12/6/2013: Fried + complement makes whole

    To honor the Hannukah that just happened but didn’t get an FND because Thanksgiving played the “but I only get one day” card, this week is fried food (on Hannukah we celebrate the miracle that is oil). Since I hear that “fried” is not a balanced meal (not that I really care–donuts are totally a…

  • FND 11/29/2013: Thank.full. And yet…

    Thanks to everyone for enabling our FND, aka, “Bring on the weekend” habit for so many years! It’s time for a T-Giving swap meet: turkey, greens, wild rice, mushrooms, gravy, cranberries, stuffing, soups, and most especially desserts will be laid out on all of their splendor. We have that stuff and we have it in…

  • FND 11/15/2013: “Thanksgiving extras”

    Jacque modestly proposed the theme for this week, Thanksgiving extras, because her original plan to cook children (with only the best intentions) fell through and she needs time to try some other recipes. Bring on the autumnal fare, my fair Friday friends, and we shall feast as never we have before (and by “as never…
