Eat. Drink. Live.
Before heading out to lunch with Sarah and the girls, Sam takes a plunge in the pool. And, upon return, a pretty sunset. Related posts: A Lovely Rain Enjoying the Tree Sam Gets a Kiddie Pool Relaxing at the Pool
We had a true vacation day on Sunday. Just relaxing and resting by the pool, on the nicest day of the trip. After a swim and a nap, we took a walk around the neighborhood. Then back home to grill […]
Here we go, friends! Off to Texas to visit Jessica and Sarah and their families. After a harrowing Friday morning — I took an emergency visit to the doctor for a diagnosis of strep! — the antibiotics kicked in enough […]
Jessica and Ken did it again. A winner of a party to kick off the holiday season. A little embarrassing to have such crappy photos when visiting a photographer’s house, but what are you going to do? Related posts: Mary […]
With Jessica’s training in Bridgewater, we decided to drive her down there and make a day of it. Brunch in Morristown seemed the perfect destination. Turns out, a lot of people like to do Sunday brunch in Morristown. We […]
Jessica is in town! She is in for a week’s worth of training in Bridgewater, N.J., but is spending Saturday night with us. Hi Jessica! Sam is dancing up a storm. We served our favey new recipe, crispy chicken thighs. […]
A fun Friday with good friends. Ken’s new cookbooks are out! Kids are playing dress up. Some ice pops for dessert. Now it’s time for grown-up supper. Sausage and salad from the farmers market, plus spaghetti squash with tomato sauce. […]
Kicking off the holiday season right with a super fun party (with delicious food, as always) at Ken and Jessica’s. Beautiful decorations — branches foraged from the woods behind Jessica’s house and lined with lights. Bad photos of a […]
What a great day. A movie in the afternoon (how luxurious!) and a fire in the evening. Cocktails, fresh fish and conversation. Jessica, please come visit more often! Related posts: Jessica Visits The Farm Supper on the Patio with Kelly […]
Lucky us! Because of some training in for work — a two week affair with a weekend off in between — Jessica was just a couple of hours away from the farm. What a joy to be able to spend […]
A fun and easygoing Saturday night dinner at our friends Ken and Jessica’s! Kids playing: Kris, Bill, Jessica and Ken: Bill, who’s a chef, made the delishy appetizers. Twice baked potatoes with gucamole! Pizza bread: A little football on the […]
Our friends Ken and Jessica threw a fabulous, fun Christmas-birthday party. No surprise, really, since they, too, are fabulous and fun. Ken, being a former chef and current food photographer, put together a delicious menu that started with these unbelievable […]
Celebrating Sam’s birthday on a Saturday, with a few prezzies, and cake! Then, a civilized supper for the adults, with a grilled, double-cut pork chop with a cornbread stuffing and sour cherries. Sisters! Jessica’s sweet little prezzy: Family! Moving […]
Yes, Roost again! That little corner seat by the bar is a perfect, er, perch, if you don’t mind the pun. With Jessica along for the meal, it was the perfect combination of terrific food and great company. Brussels sprouts […]
Out to brunch with Greg’s daughters! Samantha decides that she’ll have the labne, please. The Art Cafe cappuccino is a thing of beauty. Every design is different. Sorry for the blur… A delishy rice bowl, the Magritte: And Jessica’s malawich: […]
We were so thrilled to welcome Jessica for a visit to the farm. She arrived Thursday evening, just in time for dinner: one of Greg’s special pizzas. And some nice red wine, too. Welcome Jessica! Related posts: Supper on the […]
The Labor Day games are a nice tradition at the swim club we joined this summer. Just as I remember from when I was particiapting in them as a child! The day starts out with a sponge relay. Whoever carries […]
We spent Christmas morning around the Farm, having coffee by the tree and talking to family members from afar. Here’s Sam, Face Timing with Jessica and Reece: Yes, that’s one of her three Christmas outfits. You think she knows how […]
For our final meal of the trip, we got some takeout from La Verdad — Ken Oringer’s Mexican restaurant near Fenway. Everything was mighty tasty. Related posts: Heading to Boston Lunch at the Union Oyster House in Boston Bon Chon […]
After Fenway, we went for a little bowling with the boys at Lucky Strike. As usual, I lost. But we all had fun! Related posts: A Tour of Fenway with the Family Baseball with Fisher; Legos with Reece Heading to […]
Jessica organized for us a tour of Fenway Park. It was cold, and there was construction, but we all had a good time and learned a lot. We also tried to squeeze in a little time for family portraits! Related […]
On Sunday, we headed to Boston. Not for a research or a restaurant trip — though we did get to try some good eats. No, it was to help out with Fischer, who was having his ACL repaired at Boston […]
On Saturday night, the adults got some of their own fun time. First, we headed to supper at La Condesa, a new-ish modern Mexican restaurant downtown. Wow. Was that food amazing. Related posts: Step 1: Arrive in Austin. Step 2: […]
Jessica and Kelly hosted the whole family for dinner on Friday night, including Sarah and Mae and Jane, and Kelly’s brother and sister-in-law Brady and Karen and their two girls. You might say it was a family reunion of sorts. […]
Mojitos, a grill, a fire and family. What more could you ask for? Related posts: Baseball with Fisher; Legos with Reece Supper with Chris The Farm Smokes Some Butts Fried Chicken Saturday Night Supper
Next stop on the Austin visit — Jessica and Kelly’s house. We settled in and caught up briefly, and then headed out to Fischer’s baseball game. Related posts: Flank Steak with Garlic and Herbs Iron Pizza Chef: Pizza Night in […]
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.
