FND Eats

Friday Night Dinner

  • 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 8/16/2013: Tacos y Tostadas

    Hey Y’all!My (Mimi’s) two month absence has come to its end, and I’m ready for some FND! Bring on the fixin’s and the tasties and the toasties and the spicys, and we’ll have ourselves one heckuva reunion party. See you Friday! -Mimi   Oh, Ray’s back too. I just started with me ’cause I was…

  • 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 07/12/13: Pasta with and without gluten

    Several species of pasta plus homemade tomato sauce.  We have some salad fixin’s; bring anything that looks good in a bowl of lettuce. Welcome to the weekend! — * 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 ever want us to…

  • 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?

  • FND 6/7/2013: Last FND for a while, Classic potluck

    This FND is the last one for several weeks (until Ray and Sam get back from North Carolina) so if you’ve been meaning to come, now’s your chance.    Since this week is a classic potluck, it’s all the more important to sign up. Make sure to remember to leave a comment with who and…

  • FND 5/31/2013: Breakfast and More Breakfast…

    …with a little bit of extra breakfast on the side. Bring on the food-which-is-normally-eaten-in-the-morning-but-which-shall-be-eaten-in-the-evening! Pretty sure that sentence would get me arrested for abuse of hyphens if anyone was keeping track of crimes against punctuation, but it gets the point across.   Here’s what I’m thinking: some cheesy grits, maybe some pancakes, some eggs, lots…

  • FND 5/24/2013: Appetizers and Dessert

    This Friday, the theme mirrors the purpose of FND itself- celebrating the end of the week and the beginning of the weekend. In this spirit, Appetizers and Dessert has been called (along with fish tacos–which qualify, I suppose)    An interest in chocolate has also been repeatedly expressed by certain friends of mine (all of…
