FND 10/30: Soup and vegetables
The weather’s cooling down, perfect for soup, possibly ramen? Playing with the concept anyway. Not the heart-stopping salt packs (do like), rice noodles simmered in homemade broth and then you add your stuff you like. Forewarning: Ray is back from travels, plan accordingly Also: GO VOTE. https://indyweek.com/news/politics/elections/2026-general-election-candidate-questionnaires

FND 10/02/26: So many beans soup
Working on a big pot of comfort food in the form of 15 bean soup with roots, greens, thises and thatses. Is autumn here for real now? Is it?
-
FND 9/25: Samosa Pierogi Gyoza (Dumplings)
Fried or baked dish with a savoury filling, or they could be steamed or boiled. Wrapped food. Possibly a sandwich. Welcome to Autumn!

FND 09/18/26: Breakfasty food
I occasionally wonder why we have Breakfast AND Comfort food as FND categories but them I’m like, mmmm waffles and forget to think any more about it. FWIW almost everything qualifies as breakfast around here, so bring what you like and we’ll all nod along. Phew, what a week, let’s put a cap on it.
-
FND 09/11/26: Tacos as advertised
The weather cooled off a bit so cooking seems possible and mmmm tacos. We will need that topping or drink you really like and/or your sparkling wit, cool news, normal news, no news. Ray is away on a secret mission (vacation), very hush-hush (England), so forewarned it’s just Sam and Pepper.
-
FND 09/04: Cold Anything
That’s the theme. Cold fruit salad, cold cuts (antipasto), cold beverages (smoothies), popsicles, calculations, stares. I ordered cooler weather, I promise.
-
FND 08/28: flying pies
Dough will fly, cheese will melt; what else will happen? We’re not sure and that’s the fun of it. Bring toppings and/or hunger. Check it out: mornings are getting cooler (I demand it) and the next FND will be in an autumn month.
-
FND 8/21: Comfort food: you do you
It’s time; we all know we need it. Slow down, give yourself a breather. No particulars this week, just bring or suggest the food that brings calm and joy. We’ll make scratch biscuits and have butter/honey/other stuff for them. Something protein-y.

FND 08/14: Ravioli with a Vegetable Festival
We’re in full simmer around here. Not sure what that means just how it feels, anyway easy enough to add ravioli and sauteed summer-y veggies, possibly also a meat option. It’ll all be a la carte so alternative treatments are welcome. Have a good if not great weekend, try to stay cool.
