I know what you’re thining. What? Sam hasn’t been to the library yet? I know! Crazy! She loves books! The children’s room at the Nyack Library has low shelves with lots of colorful books and puzzles and a few toys. […]

Breakfast at the Art Cafe

Drinks at Barcel in Nyack

We were a little early for a party at the church this Saturday evening, so we took advantage of having a babysitter and enjoyed a cocktail at the bar at Barcel beforehand. A martini for him; a “Barcel Sidecar” for […]

The Russian Holiday Boutique

One of our favorite annual events is the festival at the Russian Orthodox Church around the corner from the farm. The food is incredibly delicious: beef stroganoff, stuffed cabbage, borscht, and lots of other great stuff. Related posts: Lunch at […]

Wings, salads, you’ve seen those before. But here’s a new one: Samantha chewing on, well, I don’t even know what that is. Happy Election Day, all. Related posts: Election Night at O’D’s Samantha’s First Presidential Election Concert in the Park […]

A Few Nyack Photos from Sandy

Now that we’re back up with power here at the farm, here are a few photos from Sandy, mostly from around the neighborhood. We are so thankful that we didn’t suffer any damage. Our thoughts and prayers are with people […]

To Harry’s, with Karen

Karen, in to cover the UN, spent the night Friday, and we had a rollicking time on the porch with the neighbors. In the morning, we headed downtown for a walk and some eggs. Harry’s! Chicken tinga tacos for me! […]

Concert in the Park

The concert in the park nearly wasn’t this week. A band member was more than an hour late! But that didn’t stop us from enjoying our lovely supper of Asian Barbecued Chicken, Doris’ Cucumber Salad and Black Rice with Mango […]

Another Concert in the Park

Somehow, while Greg was hauling dirt out of our driveway, he also found time to make Sour Cherry Farm’s signature dish, Hickory Smoked Chicken. He also put together a salad, following my instructions via text. And wouldn’t you know it, […]

Saturday Night at Wasabi

Well, she made it. I was surprised, but with only a little whimpering and a little rocking to sleep, Samantha made it through a supper of several courses of sushi. Yes, we sat down pretty early, but still! Tasha and […]

Concert in the Park

For our first picnic and concert of the 2012 season, Samantha fared very well indeed. It helps that other people love to take care of her. Thanks Kris! The menu was simple: chicken (Tom’s was excellent so we didn’t even […]

A Bike Ride on the Rail Trail

It’s been a long time since I’ve ridden my bike; I wasn’t allowed to when I was pregnant. And then it was winter. And I had a new baby. So it was lovely to have a maiden voyage Sunday down […]

Men Who Cook

For supper on Sunday night, Srimp and I headed down to the annual benefit for the Nyack Center, “Men Who Cook.” We had a ball trying all the different dishes — well, I did, anyway: she had milk. Here’s a […]

The Nyack House Tour

We packed Srimp into the stroller and went for a nice walk around town, looking at the homes of people who were kind enough to open them to support this annual fundraiser for The Historical Society of Nyack. Not a […]

Sunday Evening Sips and Snacks

The spring weather has arrived — at least temporarily. And so there I was, pruning the blueberries in the front with Sam in her newest neglect-a-tron — — and Tasha pops her head out the door. Feel like a cocktail? […]

Happy Sam!

On our first real day of springtime weather, Sam put on her best pink dress and went out and about Nyack with Greg. In preparation for book club that evening, he read The Little Prince to her, and she seemed […]

Sunday Night Supper at Wasabi

Finally! The neighbors and I hadn’t really seen each other since the holiday season, and we finally got a chance to catch up. We walked down to Wasabi and had a lovely supper of sushi and other delishy Japanese foods, […]

Dinner at Hudson House in Nyack

Apparently there’s a new chef at the Hudson House. I haven’t called to get the scoop on his name or credentials, but from the few things Irene and I tasted, I’d say we’re in for a treat with his cooking! […]

Back at the OVI

Sam and I joined Kelli, Sarah and Hugh for an early Friday supper at the OVI. The kids had cheeseburgers and grilled cheese. Kelli and I had pizza and wings. Sam had milk. My favorite part of the evening was […]

Kicking Babies

While I’m off work, I’ve been attending a Wednesday morning Mom group that focuses on breastfeeding. (See, this is a food blog, after all, right?) Breastfeeding Arts, a group run by my lactation consultant (and now friend), the incomparable Deirdre, […]

Sam’s First Trip to OVI

I don’t have to tell SCF fans how often we go to the Olde Village Inne in Nyack. A ridiculous amount. But since Sam came along, we hadn’t been once. We had to remedy that situation — and fast. We […]

A Dinner Out at Velo in Nyack

Irene’s sister, Carol, is in town for her annual December visit. Kris and I met the sisters for a supper at Velo. The food was so good we all decided we need to go back more often. The cocktails, especially, […]

Brunch at Barcel

Mom, Leigh and I took Sam out for her first Sunday brunch at Cafe Barcel this weekend. I had a great latte — — and a terrific dish: Barcel Benedict, with poached eggs and Serrano over brioche. Sam had milk. […]

Dinner at Wasabi: Sushi at Last!

The last time we were at Wasabi was the night before I got pregnant with Sam. We knew chances were I wouldn’t be eating sushi for a long, long time, so we had a bit of an extravaganza. Appropriate, then, […]
