FEAST

Bone-Appetite!!!!

2008-09-30T14:13:00.008-04:00

Believe it or not, we have never had a Halloween themed FEAST. So here goes...

Make anything that you think might inspire fright in others. Only two rules for this FEAST: It has to be 'spooky' (NOT cute) and it has to taste good (no fried crickets please). We'll have main courses to satisfy the Draculas and Bunniculas among us. Costumes are welcome but not required. Trick or treat bags will be provided so skip the tooth rotting candy - it's already here!

Defining Food Moment

2008-05-22T11:32:00.003-04:00

Apartment Therapy--The Kitchn had a post today about defining food moments in your life as a cook. Do you have one? I sometimes think about this--when did I become a cook? I think it was my senior year of college when I had my first apartment and my first cookbook and making food for friends became an important part of my social life. Making Thanksgiving dinner for 16 people that first year nearly sent me over the edge, but....it turned out....and it tasted good. What about you?

Compost FEAST

2008-04-14T22:10:00.003-04:00

Dinner!

In honor of Earth Day and all things green, this month's theme is Compost FEAST. All those food bits you would normally throw out are now the main course (or side dish or appetizer...). If this doesn't sound so appetizing, think of some of the good stuff that gets pitched: orange peel, pumpkin seeds, coffee grounds, beet greens, chicken livers, those random egg yolks from that cake you made (custard anyone?). Get creative and be brave. Think like a worm- there are some tasty treats in that garbage can!

DATE & TIME: April 27 @ 6:30 PM.
LOCATION: 81 Sterling Place - Barber Pad

Post your recipes in the comments!

The Ides Have It

2008-03-03T23:22:00.003-05:00

Bangers and Mash, Scotch eggs, Haggis, Bubbles and Squeak, Yorkshire Pudding, Mushy Peas and Fish & Chips--this month we are celebrating the cuisine of the British Isles. March 16th--the day between the fear of doom and the fun of debauchery....we'll be getting our eats on. Can't wait to see what you bring!

ETA: The dinner is at Emily and Anna's at 7PM

Any plans for what you're bringing?

King-like it was

Not only was the dinner in a mansion, but there was enough food for the neighborhood. Click here for more photos.

Fit for a (Martin Luther) King (Jr.)

2008-01-10T16:55:00.001-05:00

Alright, FEAST folks, as promised (though a little late), here is the announcement for the JANUARY 2008 inaugural FEAST of the year.

Inspired by the holiday, (and egged on by the recent Gourment issue), let's try our hands at a SOUTHERN feast fit for a (Martin Luther) King (Jr.)

Let's celebrate the man and his message by throwing down home style.

Monday, January 21 (MLK Jr. day), The Clue House, 7pm
927 President St btw PPW and 8th ave
(there may be billiards as well)

If this feast date is a real problem for folks, let me know and i can change the date/theme as needed.

Hope to see you all there! If you're coming, post some internet clues as to your contribution here if you can.

December's theme: Granny Glam Christmas

If you are struggling to think of ideas that fit this theme, there is a website called The Food Timeline that helped me come up with a bunch of ideas. It's not fancy, but it is comprehensive.

couldn't find the actual clip but guess what i am making!!!!

Not what I'm making, but the closest clip I could find. Consider this a clue.

Silver Screen Supper - Rachel's Clip

Don't worry FEASTERS, I'm not going to make liver. Instead, I'm opting for some fava bean-related dish and chianti.

Silver Screen Supper - Clips!

2007-11-11T20:37:00.000-05:00

After you are finished racking your brains for your favorite movie meal, post a clip from the movie were the food takes center stage!

Julie's Dish - I looked around for komodo dragon steaks, but they are hard to come by, but I found inspiration in the magic of Disney. I hope your eyes sparkle like Lady's after you taste my meatballs. (Sorry for the crappy quality of this clip - it's all i could find).

Anna's Corner

2007-10-30T15:24:00.001-04:00

We always lament when Anna isn't around to do the dishes at a FEAST meal. At the Farmer/Martin apartment (it really does sound like we are life partners), Anna is now equipped with a special sponge holder and scrubby brush. She is happy.

As a new feature on the FEAST blog, look for Anna's updates in the world of doing dishes.

Back through the Archives

2007-10-25T13:53:00.000-04:00

In an effort to remember what I have made for FEAST I went back through the logs of Evite for the history of our dinners. Here's what I found. Email the recipes you remember (or the ones you are willing to part with, Barber) for the cookbook.

Say What Now?

2007-10-16T15:51:00.000-04:00

So I just checked the evite for tonight's FEAST and noticed a small little notation where McGrew changed his RSVP. What's this, now?

Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz decided to take over my apt. Ugh. Sorry to have to once again miss FEAST, but this morning we got offered $500 to let a film crew into our apt for the Diaz/Kutcher film tomorrow. Both roomies are out of town which puts me out of (pot)luck. My apologies, everyone. Have a great time...

I mean, I've heard excuses before, but seriously...

AND...why aren't we having a picnic in front of John's house?

Pumpkin Recipies

In the F.E.A.S.T kitchen

Hey everyone! I just wanted to get the ball rolling on posting our recipes. Don't forget to post your pumpkin recipes for October F.E.A.S.T.!

October's Theme

2007-10-02T11:34:00.000-04:00

Okay folks...

I struggled with this month's theme for a while. There was the discussion of cocktober and then maybe vag-foods, but I just couldn't make myself do it. Then I was thinking about celebrating the 2nd Anniversary of FEAST, but the 2nd Anniversary is represented by cotton and I just don't know how that would translate. So....October.....

We will be celebrating the versatility of the pumpkin. Dessert will be made at Emily and Anna's...as well as some kind of main dish.

Weigh in in the comments...should we continue to send out the evite despite the blog? I'm thinking maybe we should in the beginning, but what do you think? Emily

A Request

2007-09-27T15:05:00.000-04:00

Since it is the eve of our 2nd Anniversary as FEASTers I have a request....send me your recipes.

Two years ago, Matt, Julie and I met up at Tea Lounge to figure out how we wanted this all to work. We actually came up with by-laws (uh, we are dorks) and theme ideas and an invite list. It was a crazy evening, *sigh*. Julie made a beautiful book that we could log all of our dinner parties with and it has sadly been sitting unused in my room since. It is time to fill it up! Let's create the FEAST cookbook. We've had some crazy themes, awesome food, and great conversation over the last two years and it would be great if we had some kind of record.

I don't need to send me every thing you have ever made for FEAST (although, if you want to it would certainly be welcomed)...but definitely send me your favorites and if you happen to have any pictures, BONUS. If you managed to save your EVITE? Send it this way. I think we will have something great to show for it.

A couple of other notes. This is our new blog! Any one of you can log on to post if you would like....send me an email and I will give you the information.

Also, we have an official email address: FEASTbklyn@gmail.com. That is where you can send the recipes, photos, etc....

Date for the next FEAST: October 16, 7PM. Mark your calendars. A theme will be announced soon.
