Eat. Drink. Live.
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. Related posts: Saturday Night Supper by the Tree: […]
Hibiscus Margaritas are our holiday drink of choice for three reasons: 1. They remind us of our trip to Mexico. 2. They’re absolutely delicious. 3. They’re so darn festive. Related posts: Cocktail Recipe: Carjack Recipe: Strawberry Daiquiri Cocktail Recipe: Lemon-Thyme […]
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 […]

As my mother would say, I do love a cocktail. And not only that, I do love a caipirinha. It’s a Brazilian drink made with cachaca — a sugar cane liquor a little like rum, but not. For caiparinhas, you […]
All you need is a pint of fresh strawberries, rum, lime juice, sugar and ice and you’ve got yourself the makings for a fabulous cocktail. The fact that you’re using local, seasonal ingredients is just a bonus when it comes […]

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.
