Eat. Drink. Live.
For supper on Monday night, Theresa had some delicious dishes planned. Lobster BLTs, for one. Corn. And a blueberry salad with arugula and gorgonzola. Killer. She bought all her produce from a terrific farm stand called Beth’s Farm Market. On […]
The chef at Primo is Melissa Kelly. We’ve never eaten her food before, but had always meant to when she was cooking a lot closer to us at the restaurant at Old Chatham Sheepherding Company in the Hudson Valley. She […]
We had an adventurous time getting to our next destination, taking the blue roads along the coast to check out two small towns: Wiscasset and Damariscotta. Both are known for having excellent seafood. At Wiscasset, it’s the lobster roll at […]

While Greg slept off his scolding, I slipped out of the hotel for an early breakfast. I had heard from the Boston friends we met at the Black Trumpet Bistro that the place to go was the Friendly Toast. Apparently, […]
Is it ever really a good idea to have a nightcap at your hotel bar? I question the intelligence of this, but the fact is, we went ahead, and we ended up with some good material. So here we are, […]
We chose the Black Trumpet Bistro for dinner because the chef-owner cooks with local — sometimes even foraged — ingredients, and we wanted to taste New England. Plus, there’s a wine bar. Related posts: Touring and Shopping in Portsmouth, N.H. […]
We only had a few hours in Portsmouth before sunset, but it was plenty of time to take in the brick sidewalks, tall steeples, quaint alleyways and of course, the stunning views of the harbor. Related posts: Shopping in Palisades: […]
We packed up the car, loaded the bikes and got on the road. Like the dorks that we are, we even had a cooler for drinks and snacks on the road. Thank goodness, because we wouldn’t want to ignore the […]
After a nice bike ride in the afternoon, we headed over to Blue Hill for cocktail hour Sunday. Irene and Carol met Boo, Craig, Greg and me at the bar, where we enjoyed seasonal cocktails and the best bar snacks […]
Boo and Craig stayed the night at the farm. In the morning, we snacked on fruits, meats, olives, peppers and cheeses with some leftover bread. Then we went for a bike ride along the Piermont bike path. What a joyous […]
Warm weather, tasty food, good friends. And on top of that, our midsummer’s dinner was during the annual Perseid meteor shower, which we watched from the backyard, lying on blankets. A classic evening at the farm, indeed. Craig took over […]
I love Alton Brown’s marinade for skirt steak. I just don’t cook it directly on the coals as he does. (Photo Craig Duff) It’s a soy-based marinade, with garlic, scallions, cumin, brown sugar and lime juice: Put them in the […]
We had some cocktails and some snacks, and then grilled some chicken. An easy and fun night on the porch’t. Related posts: Dinner from the Harvest at Sour Cherry Farm A Wine Tasting with the Neighbors Supper in the Orchard […]

Nothing says summer eating like tomatoes. Add basil, mozzarella, prosciutto and toast and you’re all set. Related posts: Pork Chops, Corn, Blueberry Cobbler and a Great Spice Called Duqqa (Not in That Order) Farmers Market Loot The Great Nyack House […]
Just before they left for Maine to be married, we had dinner with Chris and Rory at the new Tarry Tavern in Tarrytown. The meal was surprisingly delicious, but the company was even better. Related posts: Dinner at Love Lane […]
A family get-together in the orchard, with the Ranchers, Grandmom, Boo, Sarah and the girls. We had a cornucopia of supper vegetables and a grilled pork chop on top: Related posts: Summer Supper in the Orchard at the Farm Supper […]
A little time in the afternoon with family. We took Mae over to see the chickens. Grandmom and Sondra got to visit with the baby. Related posts: Charlie’s Chickens Afternoons with Mae and Jane For Mother’s Day, Grandmom’s Favorite Dishes […]
Greg, Sarah and I got the chance to go out for a Friday night supper. Mom was watching Mae, but we brought Jane along to make things a little easier on her. Now this photo is a little blurry, but […]
When Sarah and I got back from our big day of fun — seeing Memphis on Broadway and having a jaw-droppingly good lunch at Nougatine — we weren’t prepared for yet another entertainment extravaganza! But as soon as we walked […]
When Sarah and I decided to do lunch and a show, I never thought we’d end up having one of the best meals of the year. But Nougatine simply stunned us. Related posts: Lunch at Frank: Hot Dogs of All […]
The whole family went to the concert. We finished the leftovers from our weekend suppers, and Mae danced among the fireflies. Related posts: Concert in the Park
Another family meal together, but this time, we made it easy on ourselves, it being a school night and all. Take out from our favorite wing place, Bon Chon: Related posts: Supper with the Whole Gang Supper at the Ranch […]
We finished the rest of the amazing sea bass that Bill caught off the coast of Montauk on Sunday night. Simple supper: Related posts: Fresh Sea Bass from Montauk Sunday Night Supper: Scallops and Mushrooms Supper at Striped Bass in […]
Sarah went out to brunch and Wilson, Greg and I minded the kids for the afternoon. We did a little baking and a little planting and all was well. Related posts: Supper at the Ranch with Sarah, Mae, Jane and […]
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
