Eat. Drink. Live.
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 […]
Irene was just going to have a couple of friends over. Turns out Irene has a lot of friends, including a couple of new ones, Katie and Mario and their little baby Gigi. Kevin and Irene get our delishy supper […]
The best burgers ever. Sam, unfortunately, didn’t like her avocado quite as much. But Irene gave it the college try. We stuck with burgers. We’re so lucky to have this place. Related posts: Outside at The Filling Station New Year’s […]
Sam’s taken to flopping her clothes around whilst on her changing table. It’s pretty cute. Here’s another changing table one. No flopping this time, though: Related posts: Samantha Coos and Smiles Sam in Her Bumbo Seat
Srimp and Daddy go get 2-by-4s for the patio. Think she has a future career in homebuilding? Related posts: Samantha’s Plane Ride Home Bringing Sam Home to Sour Cherry Farm The Rockland Boulders Home Opener On the Train Ride […]
Greg grills some terrific pork chops, we serve them with two great salads, and Samantha joins us at the table for the first time. Welcome, Sam! Related posts: Dinner from the Harvest at Sour Cherry Farm Christmas Dinner at the […]
Srimp loves to FaceTime with Gramma Weber, but as we can see from this video, we’re beginning to suspect it’s because Samantha likes to look at herself and crack up. Related posts: Doris, Sam; Sam, Meet Gramma A Party for […]

We normally try to wait until July 4th weekend to put in the air conditioners. But the weather was truly unbearable, and, well, we had a little srimp to think about, too. Related posts: Chicken Pot Pie on New Year’s […]
The temperature hovering around 90 with almost 100 percent humidity. Well isn’t that a fine how-do-you-do-to summer? We still didn’t have the air conditioners in, but we did have a fan or two. We plugged one in to an extension […]
Yes, she’s reached one of those milestones. She’s waving, folks! Related posts: No related posts.
Josh and Kris (of weeping fame) set Samantha up with all the gear she needs to start contributing to SCF. We need workers around here! Related posts: MoMA P.S. 1: The Talent Show and Weeping Back at the Art Cafe […]
Boo stayed the weekend at SCF. Not many photos, I must admit, but here are a few of her horsing around with Sam. Happy baby pose! Related posts: Sarah and Wilson’s Visit A Weekend with Boo Games on the Screened-In […]
Sam has really taken to these finger-puppet books, and her favorite is “The Little Fish.” “In the deep and swishy blue, what do little fishes do?” (Yes, I can recite the whole thing by now.) But really, sometimes I wonder. […]
A few flowers and seeds, a couple of tomato plants. But of course I only took one picture. Related posts: Recipe: Tennessee-Style Coleslaw Lunch at Cheese Boy in the Palisades Center The Farm Plants The First Crops of 2011
A little fun time in the later afternoon. A couple more photos of Sam, and the Farm, after the jump. Related posts: Garden Update: Currants, Bees, Apples Garden Update: Coneflowers, Cosmos, Blackberries and Butterfly Bushes Garden Update: Blueberries, Apricots, Daisies […]
Greg took this photo of Sam in her stroller with Instagram. Wow, what a great one! Related posts: Welcome Samantha Grace! Samantha’s Plane Ride Home Samantha in Minnesota Samantha Grace
OK so maybe the plane ride out wasn’t the best. Not the worst, but not the best. The plane ride home? The best. Piece of cake. Look at how happy! Related posts: On the Train Ride Home: Fall Foliage and […]
Annie put together a nice feast for Easter on Saturday night, and invited some of the friends and family over who hadn’t yet met Samantha. Can you say ham and hot dish? Oh yeah! Related posts: Easter Dinner No. 2: […]
For lunch on Saturday, we went to what appears to be a really rockin’ bar. At least at night, I bet. During the day, it was laid back enough for us to take a big table by the back and […]
Mark took these terrific photos of Sam with me, Doris and Greg. And I threw a few in there of Doris helping put Sam to bed on Friday evening. Really beautiful photos. Thanks Mark. And a little video, too: Related […]
For Good Friday supper, we were thinking about turning Mark and Angie on to our newly discovered recipe for Bo Ssam. But, it being Good Friday, for Doris, meat was off the table, so to speak. So we went with […]
A nice little walk in the park before supper. Goats, llamas, koi. What else could you need, really? The park, named after Minnesota’s first Governor, Henry Hastings Sibley, is a quite nice one, really. There’s a playground and a paved […]
Wow. If we had a co-op like this in Nyack, I’d be in heaven. (Hmmm. Business idea?) It is definitely taking its cue from Whole Foods, in that it’s one of those mainly organic stores that have taken the “health […]
Surprise, surprise: there’s good Vietnamese food in Mankato, Minnesota! Our pho at Pho Saigon was really very good! And it’s a great place to take a big group for a family dinner, too. Related posts: Historic Mankato Pub Crawl: Pub […]
Sam took her first plane ride out to Minnesota to visit Gramma Weber. It was a joyous occasion indeed. Related posts: Salads with Doris
A little after-church toad in the hole never hurt anyone, did it? And stunning cherry blossoms as the centerpiece of the restaurant: Related posts: Easter Brunch at the Hudson House Mom’s Birthday at Hudson House Brunch at Barcel Dinner at […]
Mom had a few friends over for a fancy Saturday supper at The Ranch, and Sam and I were honored to be included. Of course Sam was upstairs sleeping when we all got to enjoy Anita’s lovely dessert, a blackberry […]
We like to grow things locally around here. And Sam, being locally grown herself, is mighty proud to say it. A very generous gift from Irene from the gift shop at Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture. Thanks! Related […]
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? […]
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.
