Friday Night Dinner

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 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…

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

Hi Everyone, The amazing daughter Tula and grandbaby Miles are in town for one last day and it is Ray’s bday tomorrow, so we are having an early picnic in Higginbotham Park! https://www.yelp.com/biz/higginbotham-park-and-the-thompson-trail-claremont We’ll aim to be there about 5:30 with picnic blankets, yummies and a swingset! Fair warning – we had some stomach sicks…

So suddenly it’s cold outside (75 brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) and thoughts go to hot coals. FND is all about grilling and eating outside this week.  We’ll fire up the barbie and pile on veggies and not-veggies. We’ll turn up the outdoor space heaters (we won’t)(don’t have any)(complete lie) and sit around the table singing eddas about Summer…

Looking for cold temperature foods today to counter the heat.  Cold cuts, cucumber salad, chilled borscht, iced chai, fruit, yoghurt, deviled eggs, oh heck here’s a bunch of ideas: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/appetizers/cold-appetizers/ http://allrecipes.com/search/results/?qt=k&wt=cold Keep cool and have a great weekend. — * Dinner starts around 6:30-ish * Let us know who and what you are bringing  at…

It has been ages since we had pizza at Friday Night Dinner.  We’ll have dough, sauce and mozzarella.  You bring toppings, salad, drinks and whatever else suits your fancy. Looking forward to seeing some of you who have been away for summer. Ray and Sam (and Sarge and Tabu)

Here’s your chance to impress us all with the wide wild zoo of choices in vegan and gluten-free food these days.  Bring your favorite or try something new! See ya soon. Ray Sam (and no Meem….  sigh…  school happens…)
