Friday Night Dinner

  • FND 05/15/2026: Empanadas

    FND 05/15/2026: Empanadas

    Invoking a broad definition for “dumpling” and probably empanada too, we’ll try to make them from scratch.  The cook pretty quickly so bring some fillings or other accoutrements and it’ll be great.

  • FND 05/08/26: Breakfast

    FND 05/08/26: Breakfast

    The hens have created a situation. An omelet, scrambled, fried, hard boiled situation. Also haven’t had a waffle in quite some time. Hmm. Advisory: Ray is away frolicking so it’s just  myself and Pepper. 

  • FND 4/24/26: Tostadas y tacos

    FND 4/24/26: Tostadas y tacos

    To crunch (flat or curved?) or not to crunch; whatever the preference we’ll have the essential ingredients along with some unnecessary and possibly unhelpful stuff.  

  • FND 4/17/27: Soup & Salad and Sump’n

    FND 4/17/27: Soup & Salad and Sump’n

    Moments ago got a new cook book so anything could happen but will real quick grow some greens and carrots and whatnot and make a lentil soup as well.

  • FND 4/10/26: Pizza

    FND 4/10/26: Pizza

    Round flat bread festooned with savory treats. We’ve got dough and sauce covered, bring any other thing compatible with whichever version of pizza you prefer, and/or just bring your empty stomach and hollow leg.

  • FND 04/03/26: Chicken Soup with Rice

  • 03/27/26: Dumplings!

    03/27/26: Dumplings!

    Hi Dumplings! Perhaps this will mean ravioli? Wikipedia says that basically everything is a dumpling and I’m having trouble deciding. So bring something and we’ll call it valid.  Or just bring your dumpling self

  • FND 03/20/26: Breakfast: Biscuit sandwiches

    FND 03/20/26: Breakfast: Biscuit sandwiches

    Since Spring is afoot we’re making biscuits. It’s just science. Fork-split then stuffed with egg, cheese, greens, bacon-y stuff, whatever seems appropriate or at least legal.

  • FND 3/13/26: Tacos

    FND 3/13/26: Tacos

    Tacos are good luck so that’s what we’re making, not that we’re superstitious or anything *throws salt over my shoulder* We’ll stock up on soft and crispy shells and refried beans and some sort of protein(s) — how do we feel about fish?  Bring your essential ingredient or beverage or just appetite. *touches wood*
