Eat. Drink. Live.
We haven’t been drinking many Aviations lately. But they are an old favorite. This one was particularly delicious. Absences makes the palate grow stronger? Aviation Cocktail Makes two drinks. 3 ounces gin 1 ounce maraschino liqueur 1 ounce lemon juice […]
Celebrate the holiday season with a festive Aviation! Aviation 3 ounces gin 1 ounce maraschino liqueur 1 ounce lemon juice 1 teaspoon creme de violette Combine all in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled […]
You can never have enough posts of Aviations, in my humble opinion. Recipe post of the Aviation is here.
On Wednesday, everyone went their separate ways. Sarah went out with her friends to Cafe Barcel, and we went to Irene’s for a ritual reading of “A Christmas Memory” with Kris and Tom. But first, Sarah had her friends over […]
Karen, back in the U.S. for a work trip, came up from NYC on her crutches to have a Friday night dinner with us at Cafe Barcel. But first, cocktails! We shook up some Aviations at the Farm.
We enjoyed Aviations by the fire on Friday night, and then went upstairs for dinner in front of the TV. Dinner was breakfast: fried eggs, bacon and Eggo waffles. Really. No photos.
We had a quiet evening Saturday, enjoying Aviations by the fire — and the newly decorated tree — while I prepared some cookie dough for tomorow’s bake-a-thon over at the Ranch.

Kelli and I had dinner at the Dylan Lounge at X20 in Yonkers on Friday, and I’m happy to report that the food is as good as ever there. Jack Rose highball: A gin highball with Creme Yvette, sort of […]
Another day, another snowstorm. Our neighbor, Pat, shovels his driveway: The lounge chairs are covered: At the end of the day, an aviation for our troubles: Cheers!
It hasn’t yet been warm enough to dine on the new patio, but the Ranchers joined us to christen it with cocktails this evening. Aviations all around! For supper, we were serving smoked chicken, salad from the garden and […]
A simple birthday supper at Sour Cherry Farm: Burgers and beans with some oven fries and a little salad. We started with cocktails, natch. Aviations for everyone!
A little porch action. A little Aviation. That’s Saturday at the farm.
As you know, we do love a cocktail at Sour Cherry Farm. Here are recipes for the ones we’ve enjoyed over the years. Applejack Old Fashioned Aviation Baltimore Bang Blackberry-Mint Margaritas Blueberry Caiparinhas Blueberry-Hibiscus Margaritas Bloody Marys with Tomato Water (See […]
Another look at the cocktail, which we posted the recipes for earlier this month. Greg had this one. I had the Aviation.
For our simple supper, we roasted two chickens, threw some potatoes underneath and opened a crazy good bottle of wine, a gift from our friend Lettie some time ago. A little lemon verbena under the chicken never hurt anyone. Greg […]
Any friend of Boo’s is a friend of the Farm. And that’s how we got to be friends with Susan, Boo’s friend from Phoenix. After just one night of cocktails and dinner at the Farm, we felt like we’d known […]
SCF fans might remember chef Andrew Carmellini from our trip to Locanda Verde a while back and also from this piece of mine on the future of dining in Arrive mag (which was nominated for best magazine feature by the […]
We went on a little bit of a sushi extravaganza on Friday at Wasabi. We didn’t mean to, but we’d ordered our meal and then chef-owner Doug Nguyen came into the restaurant and sent out a bunch more stuff. We […]
Our apartment in the Back Bay was right around the corner from Clio, Ken Oringer’s temple of fine dining and his signature restaurant. We weren’t able to get in a meal, but we did stop for a couple of excellent […]
The parish will be marking the 150th anniversary of Grace Church throughout the year. But we started it off with a Harvest Party, where you were invited to dress as if you were from any of the 15 decades that […]
We have revised our old recipe for the Aviation cocktail. We now include both creme de violette and maraschino liqueur in our ingredients. UPDATE 9/29/12: We are now revising the recipe again. We find the brand of creme de violette […]
After taking in the matinee performance of The Scottsboro Boys, we headed over to the swanky new — but very old looking — Lambs Club. It’s like the Art Deco lounge of your dreams. You’re living in a 1930s movie. […]
When you’re done with dinner at 8, there’s really nothing wrong with stopping in the local cocktail club for a post, is there? We thought not.
Prime Meats is the kind of place a couple of tourists from upstate might find themselves as the first diners at 6:30 p.m. on a Thursday night for dinner. About 20 minutes later, a family from the neighborhood — celebrating […]
Toasting Aviations with Cathy and Thor — getting ready for a delishy Saturday supper of pasta with tomatoes from the Pleasantville market.
For Cathy and Thor’s big splurge meal, we went to Ma Peche — the midtown restaurant of David Chang of Momofuku fame — for Beef Seven Ways, a seven-course dinner with, you guessed it, beef prepared seven different ways.
Here’s a convenient and easy place to find the recipes we make on Sour Cherry Farm. If you don’t see any credit or link out, they are my recipes. Otherwise, I give credit where credit is due! Many of these […]
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.
