We’re back in Amagansett for a week of beach life. A little beach time during the day. A little dinner for the kids. Then babysitter comes to the unit and we head to the beach for magic hour. Cheers! Related […]
SCF fans may remember our last trip to Brooklyn Flea, where we learned that it draws bargain-hunters looking for cool clothes, beautiful furniture and handmade crafts and jewelry. Unless you’re us, of course. Then you go for the food. Red […]
Laurie and Sarah, hailing from Austin, where the temperature is in the 100s, were thrilled beyond belief that the heat broke — and they got to break out their sweatshirts. Here’s to chilly nights on the porch! Related posts: Pizza […]
A couple of pizzas, a little chicken parm… how can you go wrong? Especially with dining companions such as these: Related posts: Pizza at the Mountain House Mountain House with Grandmom Dinner at Hudson House in Nyack Great Pizza […]
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, […]
After Sam’s christening, we came back to SCF for a small buffet lunch. I’m still learning how to balance being a mom, a hostess and a blogger, so you’ll forgive me that there aren’t many good photos. We’ll get there […]
I can’t believe it’s been five years since little Hughie, our godson, was born. Five years ago, he was a little bundle in my arms. Today, he’s blowing candles out on a Star Wars cake. Related posts: Our Godson […]
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 […]
Christmas 2011 came to a close with a pork tenderloin dinner and a delicious chocolate dessert from Didier Dumas. Chris was truly in love. Related posts: Christmas Eve at the Ranch 2010 Supper at the Ranch Christmas Dinner at the […]
I must have walked past the main branch of the New York Public Library a hundred times, but I’ve never been inside. Today, that all changed. We took in the sites, including those famous lions, a Gutenberg Bible that was […]
Yes, we’re back. We thought it would be a fun spot to take Sarah and Chris and the kids. Indeed, it was! We got a table by the ice rink and sat under the heat lamps, enjoying burgers and soups. […]
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 […]
With just two children opening gifts,the living room at the Ranch got just as trashed as if all seven adults and three children were participating. The joy of giving! And afterwards, we had a reprise of what is sure to […]
For a little holiday diversion, we took the kids to see the butterfly exhibit and the dinosaurs at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan. Oh how Mae hoped a butterfly would land on her hand. Alas. Everyone, however, […]
Sarah and Wilson and the girls arrived late on Boxing Day. We’ll open the presents tomorrow. Today, Mae and Jane just really want to meet “baby cousin.” And after the kids went to bed, Sarah had some alone time with […]
We got the new PDT Cocktail Book, and shook up a batch of our first victims, the Brandy Crusta. Mom and Leigh came over and we visited with Sam in the living room, enjoying our Turkey Carcass Soup for supper. […]
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 […]
For Sam’s first trip to the mall (with Gregory!), we had lunch at a brand-new food court stand called Cheese Boy, and took in a 2 p.m. showing of The Descendants. First, the sandwich. A well-made sammy with good bread, […]
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, […]
For Sam’s first restaurant outing, we walked downtown to have coffee and lunch at Art Cafe. It was nice enough that we could even sit outside. My rice bowl was delicious, too. Sarah and Greg laugh at something funny on […]

It was so hot we had to pull a fan up for comfort. But there you have it. Les Gilberts, les Holts and Sarah and the girls, for a fun burger supper. It was fun to set up a […]

A cucumber cocktail started us off, then we served easy-peasy supper: heated up sloppy Joe’s, procured at Sheppard Mansion’s shop and made from raised-right beef. Blueberry cobbler, too. A good supper indeed. Related posts: Sunday Supper at the Ranch Summer […]
After our return from Pleasantville, we meandered around the garden, and Jane proceeded to eat nearly every berry we grow! Related posts: Open Days Garden Tour: Pretty Penny Open Days Garden Tour Garden Party at the Chisholms Shopping at the […]

Watermelon-peach-tomato salad. Steak. Corn. And more tomatoes. Can’t beat that with a stick. And, just because it’s so pretty, a little slicing tomato action here above the jump: Related posts: Back at the Cabin for Supper on the Porch Welcome […]
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.
