  • FND 5/17/2013: Comida Mexicana and Stuff Swap

    Extra extra! Mexican food is on the menu! This Friday, we’re having the first annual FND Stuff Swap!  Bring your unwanted stuff to swap with  (you know the pile you keep meaning to bring to the thrift store, and the garage full of stuff for the garage sale you’re going to have last year?) eat…

  • May 10 NO FND 🙁

    Next week:  Stuff Swap!

  • 5/3/2013: In need of some Comfort (food)

    The merry month of May is actually the miserable month of May for American highschoolers. Why, you ask?  Because they are being tested to within a micron of their wits ends.  Star testing, Finals, AP, IB, SAT, ACT, Tech Challenge exams.  I’m sure there are more I have forgotten.  Pobrecitas. So bring on the comfort…

  • FND 4/26/2013: Pizza a la Sous

    Sam (the pizza guy ’round these parts) is out of town, but Mimi and Ray have decided to make pizza anyway. We figure we’ve got enough pizza sous-chefery between us to figure this thing out.  We’ll get the dough, sauce, and cheese, you bring your favorite things to put on top.    If you like…

  • FND 4/19/2013: (D)oodles of Math

    Sorry for the late notice, it took us a while to get our acts together this week. Instead of a normal FND, the Harvey Mudd College Moody Lecture is happening at 7:30 in Galileo Hall. The topic of discussion is the mathematics of doodling. Should be very interesting and there will be free cookies and…

  • FND 04/12/13: Chili con delicious

    Two chilis – carne and notsomuch.  Spiciness will be very moderate and very available for aftermarket modifications. Rice! And cheese and sour cream!  That’s all I know! Hurray weekend! P.s. see if you notice anything different, in say, the kitchen area.

  • FND 4/5/2013: Breakfast of Absoballylutely Top Notch Champions, wot wot!

    Hey folks, I haven’t had the chance for a real breakfast all..week? month? I can’t even remember it’s been so long.  Maybe you’ve had really nice breakfasts with fruit and bacon and toast and waffles and eggs and……..   Maybe you’ve had really nice breakfasts, but I haven’t and I’m the one that decides these…

  • FND 3/29/2013: Grandma Got Tasty Science

    As a tribute to Ray’s awesome blog, Grandma Got STEM (ggstem.wordpress.com) which is getting lots of attention, this week’s theme is family recipes.  They don’t have to be age old secrets passed down from the stone age, but if you’ve got one of those -and the Mastodon meat it calls for- by all means bring it. Just…

  • FND 3/21/13: Hobos and Posolutely Delicious Grilled Etc.

    Hobo n. A baked-potato-sized, personalized foil packet full of various, usually canned, occasionally fresh ingredients which is cooked in the coals of a fire and then eaten, preferably in the dark (more fun that way).   We aren’t grilling people, if that’s what you thought. Anyway, they really don’t taste that great.    We are however, going to have…

  • FND 3/15/2013: Pasta, in all its marvelousity

    This week, pastapastapasta! The folks are out again, leaving me (Mimi) to not set the house on fire and maybe serve up some dinner.    When I say pasta in all its marvelousity, I mean don’t just bring a jar of marinara. We’ve got that covered. I want to see the strudels and the bow-tie…
