FBM Potluck #6 – The Rapture

Marking a year since that very first, fateful potluck, we threw another May potluck, again on our gracious host, Hungry‘s rooftop.  It happened to coincide with The Rapture, which just made it that much more fun.  I’ve been playing with making my own cocktails, creating a ‘signature cocktail’ for the past few potlucks.  This time, I dubbed my creation Mango Tango, and it couldn’t have been easier to make.  I think it was pretty good, too – we went through them rather quickly, and people got good and toasty off them.  (That’s my mark of a good cocktail – it [...]

FBM Potluck #5

The February FBM potluck marked the 5th such potluck that I have been fortunate enough to find friends generous enough to share both their food and their homes with me.  We returned to the location of our October potluck for this low key, minimal attendance event – it was over a long weekend, so a lot of people had prior engagements.  Since the kind people who do PR for Nespresso were generous enough to send me a CitiZ Nespresso to test, I decided to bring the whole thing over to BeerBoor’s for everyone to test during the potluck.  The machine isn’t tiny, and [...]

FBM Holiday Potluck 2010

I alluded to this with the last potluck: you want to be a part of FBM.  We do potlucks, cookie swaps, and happy hours… we know how to have fun.  And for our last potluck of the year, of course we went with a holiday theme and – you’ll see how we do   PS Each and every time I post about these happy hours, cookie swaps, and potlucks, I get multiple comments asking to join in the fun.  Happy hours are always open invitation, all you have to do is pay attention at the Midtown Lunch forums for details.  In [...]

FBM Potluck #3

Once again, the FBMs met for an awesome potluck, and I’m here to make you jealous that you don’t roll with me!  Above, the tin of Nutella cakes I made for TC, my ‘good’ twin.  His birthday is only 5 days after mine, and I goofily thought to give him a dozen cakes as a birthday goodie – especially since – well, you’ll see…My offering this time was kimchi bacon fried rice!  I made a huge pot this time- I think 6 cups of rice, holy hell, that’s the most I’ve ever put in my 10 cup rice cooker.  Came out [...]

FBM Rooftop Potluck #2

You know why people wish they hung out with me?  Because I – okay, fine, my friends and I – have amazing ideas and we execute.  Execution is key.  So one fine Saturday in August – we lucked out and it wasn’t oppressively humid and hot out, it was actually really nice – we gathered, once again (first time here), on a rooftop terrace for a potluck – this time hosted by my food nemesis, Chris!  And we gorged ourselves to high hell and back.  I arrived a few minutes too late to take a picture of this in its pristine [...]
