Friday Night Dinner

  • FND 9/20/13: Breakfasting!

    For all, the wonder of a second breakfast, not at the dawn of a new day but the dawn of a new weekend. If you take pity on poor Mimi, bring something cold and structurally innocuous, so she may take part in this, the most glorious of themes despite the removal of her wisdom teeth…

  • FND 08/30: Get Comfortable

    It has come to our attention that the Season of Relative Calm and Relaxation and Perhaps Occasional Travel has come to an end. It is to be replaced by a Time of Sustained Effort, Attention, and Perhaps Snacks. Well. We don’t know who is responsible for this course of events, and it does seem less…

  • FND 8/23/2013: Red Hot Chili Peppers (that are actually green and not necessarily hot)

    This may be a confusing theme, so let me give you the break-down: We have recently been visited by the Hatch chili fairy, so we’re going to be eating some green chilies. They come in the mild, medium, and hot varieties. Your job is to bring stuff that goes nicely with them. You can bring…

  • FND 07/26: Watermelon. Uh huh.

    Okay and hot dogs.  Quite a few different beers and 4 kinds of mustard. Mango sorbet. I know what you’re thinking; it sounds ambitious.  I tell you I can pull it off, but if you insist on helping then bring what you like and let’s roll in the weekend.

  • FND: 07/19/13 It happens. Pasta Redux

    So last week we had plans to eat homemade red sauce and all sorts of everyone-friendly  pasta, but then Pacific Rim called, and was all like, RAWWWRRRR WHIRRRRRRRRRRRRR SMASH SMASH So we went to opening night and sort of totally forgot to eat dinner. Take 2: The garden is producing tomatoes and red peppers. The…

  • FND 7/5/13: Back! Breakfast! Because!

    We’re mostly back and even though FND-before-last was breakfast, we’re calling it again because: That was a long time ago. Years I think. Breakfast is terrific. (Your favorite reason, which makes you agree) Cherries, maple syrup, eggs, oats: we have these things.  Grits too.   What else goes into breakfast?
