Friday Night Dinner

  • 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…

  • FND 11/8/2013: Pizza! Not just for breakfast anymore!

    AAAAAnd we’re back! Yeah! Finally! *mutters darkly about the lame lack of fnd mutter mutter* In commemoration of absolutely nothing in particular, I’ve dug up a long at rest FND pizza message for you. I like to take them out for walks sometimes. Good for the circulation and all that. Here ’tis, written by the…

  • notFND 11/1/2013: The Lamest of the Lame

    AGAIN with the lameness! Seriously, what’s wrong with us? Yep, that’s right, no FND this week either. The folks are out. Sorry guys! -Mimi

  • notFND 10/25/2013: Don’t scare the house sitter

    FND is visiting colleges this week (it is in its twenty-somethingth year, after all, it’s about time it got an education). There is someone at the house watching the animules, but please don’t show up because she won’t be hosting. See you next time, -Those people that usually hold FND but let you down this…

  • FND 10/18/2013: The Other Americas

    We’s gonna eat ‘Merican this Friday, but it’s Central and South ‘Merica, not North. I don’t wanna see no burgers. Unless they’re taco burgers. That would be cool. I like tacos. -Mimi the Taco Meister… I mean Maestra. Taco Maestra. Yup that’s me. mmmtacos

  • (NOT)FND 10/11/3013: No FND this week

    We’ll be at the Moody lecture at HMC and then at a smashin’ Gogol Bordello Concert. See you next time! -Mimi

  • FND 10/4/2013: Indian Food

    I won’t hold it against you if you just bring those little pouches from Trader Joe’s, but I really think you can probably do a little better than that. Like, what about the samosas in the freezer section? Those are tasty. Or, you know. You could be super fancy and bring real food that you…

  • FND 9/27: Pie

    Pizza, quiche, pie, cookies, other Round Things.
