Friday Night Dinner

  • FND 8/21/09: Homemade Pizza-o-rama

    Last week: Muchas personas! Food and s’mores until everyone was full enough to roll home. A lovely evening. Can I remember all the details through the foody haze? Maybe not … Good thing it is saved on the bloggy interweb. This week: We’ll make the dough and sauce, you bring the cheese and toppings and…

  • 8/14/2009: Summer fruit and veggie festival + nat’l smores day celebration

    This week: We are celebrating the bounty of summer! Bring your favorite dishes inspired by what you can buy fresh (with bonus points for local). Then savor a roasted treat: it was national s’mores day on Tuesday and we have ALL the fixins. Last week: Made loads of homemade fettuccine and gnocci and red sauce.…

  • 8/7/2009: All about Pasta

    If you didn’t make it last week for appetizers and dessert, you missed the most awesome of bruchetta. We still have garlic breath, but our immune systems are dandy! There were also other treats including shrimp and homemade cocktail sauce, cherries, edamame, several kinds of cookies and an assortment of frozen delicacies. This week is…

  • 7/31/09: Appetizers and Desserts

    Hi Folks, We are back in town and ready to end the week! It is the fifth friday, which is a bit like a blue moon. To celebrate we will have a yummy assortment of desserts. You bring the appetizers to get our tummies ready for them. Some appetizer ideas: stuffed grape leaves, hummus and…

  • FND 07/17: pasghetti and meatballs

    FND is keeping it simple this week with spaghetti and meatballs, made fresh.  You could bring anything that would help turn lettuce into a salad, or your favorite side/beverage/dessert.  As I write this I realize I have a good veggie alternative, so never fear. NEXT week FND will be away, taking a hard-earned vacation. Feel…

  • FND 07/10/09: Grilled

    Friday Night Dinner will be grilled outside, sort of an instant replay of last weekend, everyone had a great time I hope. Ray and Mimi are away so adjust your expectations, but they said we could use their stuff. I have Hamburgers, hot dogs, and even maybe a salmon burger plus several veggie burgers. Anything…

  • 7/3/09: Breakfast

    Hi Folks, The veggie extravaganza was a great success — gotta do that again sometime. This week we are having breakfast for dinner. We will wrangle some waffles and if you bring fillings, we can make omelets. I am always in favor of cherry pie for breakfast or really any kind of pastry. Fruit salad…

  • 6/26/09: Vegetarian Delights

    Our friend Ana is here from NC and we want to show her some good eats. We will make some Ethiopian specialties. Anyone make a terrific veggie lasagne? How about veggie chili? Mac and cheese? Please avoid veggie burgers — we have done too much of those already. Also note the new Lost and Found…

  • Lost Items — Look Familiar?

  • 6/12: Sandwiches

    Last week was souper duper. Really. Anna brought cheese and Jeff brought bread and more cheese! Mimi made matzo ball soup! Talithia made miso soup! Stuart made gazpacho! Ray made garlic knots and challah and banana fritters! Sam made frozen yogurt! Good eats were had by all. Some of the die-hard-anti-cold-soup-folks even thought the gazpacho…
