FND Eats

Friday Night Dinner

  • FND 2/24/17: Breakfast

    Ooooh look who is posting on a WED.  This week will feature breakfast wonder. In FND tradition, every year or so we make the email list shorter because we don’t want to spam people.   You all can see that I have only mailed to a few folks.  But FND is still open to anyone…

  • FND 2/10/17: Appetizers, comfort food and stiff drinks

    No way it is Friday. Really? OK – then I guess it is time to kick back and enjoy some good company.  Sorry our act is SOOOOOOO not together.  But the house is clean and we have some lovely cherry juice and bourbon. BYO favorite appetizer or comfort food, even if that means a fluffy…

  • FND 1/19/17: Hidden Figures

    We are breaking with tradition and heading with the HMC Math Clubs to see the 7PM show of Hidden Figures at the Laemmle.  We’ll be back at the house afterwards for discussion and tasty treats.  Join us! Best regards, Ray and Sam

  • 1/13/17: Breakfast!

    We are back home for the new year and scrambling back into the swing of things. I know it is a mere few hours away, but we’d love to be your short order cooks for the evening. Ray might even bust out some biscuits.  Because she ate them almost every day of break… We have…

  • 11/16/16: Roasted! (and a bday!)

    The air has a chill and it is time to heat up the food! If we are very lucky, we’ll get a special appearance by Robyn the 9 yr old bday girl. I’m thinking about things like grilled tofu or tempe – root veggies, asparagus, eggplant, chicken and marshmallows! xoxox to you all, Ray

  • FND 11/11/16: Food for Thought

    FND this week is for anyone who wants to eat anything.  FND is always for that, by the way. Tonight Sam will be sole host since Ray is otherwise engaged. Along with cooking he will be gathering thoughts of how to respond to the historic election. Anyone, *anyone* is welcome to cook, eat, talk, not…

  • FND 10/28/16: South Mouth

    Feel free to place “south” at any latitude. Ours is 35.9132.   Which might mean hoppin’ john, cheese grits, biscuits, almost certainly collards.  We won’t promise it will be all that healthy but what *will* be good for you is the California Proposition Confabulation (CPC). What? What is the CPC? Why it’s famous the world over,…

  • FND 10/21/16: Breakfast

    Sam is thinking pancakes, fruit and yogurt.  I am thinking breakfast burrito and cheesy grits.  What are you thinking? Mmmmmmm breakfast. Ray

  • FND 10/14/16 Autumnal Delights

    Didja feel that nip in the air?  I am wearing not one but 2 sweater layers today after shivering my way through yesterday…. yeah I know. Bring on the autumnal delights – squash soup anyone?  roasted root veggies?  rhubarb pie?  Big mess o greens?  What food says autumn to you? So ready for this weekend!…
