FNDNC – 10/29/21: Pizza

We are settled into our new digs in Raleigh. We have a sweet little screened in porch and ways to open up the house and/or ventilate if the weather permits. Let us know by email/text if you need the address – not posting here.

We’ll post a theme here each week and what we are making (or what supplies we have). This week we will have dough, sauce and some cheese. Please being things like more cheese, toppings, salad, drinks, dessert.

Please be considerate and respond to this post with what you are bringing and who you are bringing so people know how many are attending and can decide if the crowd size works for them.

Show on up any time after 6 or earlier if you don’t care if we are totally ready 🙂

We have been on the super cautious side and this is a big step for us. For now we are limiting to people who have been vaccinated, who feel well and have not knowingly been recently COVID-exposed.

FND 6/20/2014: ピザ Pizzarigatogozaimasuwhat

I think we’re back from Okinawa.

I seem to be in my Claremont room, so yes.

Fun FND Facts #1: Pizza
  • Some people don’t know what to bring to pizza FND. Here’s what: bring your favorite topping, drink, or dessert. Now you know/have had the answer reinforced in your memory. Hurray! Neurons!
  • The first FND email I have about pizza was to celebrate my sister getting accepted to UNC Chapel Hill (4/28/2006).
  • It was not (by far) the first pizza FND, that’s just the first time I had an email address to get FND emails.
  • Pizza is a very long-standing FND tradition.
  • If you’re lucky and show up at the right time and the dough wasn’t pre-rolled when we got it, you get to see Sam throwing it in the air and spinning it around and catching it (almost always) (I think always).
  • Tomatoes are in the nightshade family, and in NC we had other sorts of nightshades in our yard.
  • We did not put those other nightshades on the pizza that would be stupid why would you think that.
  • Sam actually likes those grainy salty fish things to be imposed on his pizza, and unfortunately by association I don’t mind them.
  • Did you figure out that this is Mimi? How did you guess? Was it the length of the note? I do tend to write long ones. I have no way of forcing you to read it though, so really you  should just check the theme and skip the rest, if you’re in a hurry or whatever.
  • I put the actual information at the top, to make that easier.

See you soon!

If you decide to come. Otherwise, see you less soon!

FND 11/8/2013: Pizza! Not just for breakfast anymore!

AAAAAnd we’re back! Yeah!

Finally! *mutters darkly about the lame lack of fnd mutter mutter*

In commemoration of absolutely nothing in particular, I’ve dug up a long at rest FND pizza message for you. I like to take them out for walks sometimes. Good for the circulation and all that. Here ’tis, written by the Sam-person himself for the 5/15/09 FND:

quote

We’ll roll it and stretch it and throw it (which is stretching it) and cook it and eat it and you can help!

If you can make a brilliant dough, or sauce, go for it, otherwise bring along your favorite brand of anchovies* or pizza-related beverage.

* by which I mean, ‘any pizza topping’, but never doubt that I hope you think I mean, ‘anchovies’

end quote

My personal favorite pizza-related beverage is root beer.
See you soon!

-Mimi

PS: Thank you for commenting with who and what you are bringing!

FND 04/13/12: 3.14159ZZA

The General Pizza Prohibition has been lifted; no more will we need to eat bootleg pies snuck into FND by trained walruses.

To celebrate this turn of events we’ll DIY personal-sized and larger pizza pies. Bring pizza stuff – just carry it, no need for Odobenus rosmarus – or drinks or just an inordinate appetite.  We’ll fetch dough and cheese and make some sauce.  mmmmfireroastedtomatoes.

Happy Friday!
