Eat. Drink. Live.
Drinks with friends. We order the meat platter, which we notice doesn’t have very much meat. Nice pour, though. Pen for reference. The 411 on Twisted Elm. Related posts: Supper at Twisted Oak in Tarrytown River View East in Elmwood […]
January is for oysters and champagne. (OK, we’ll settle for cava.) In front of a roaring fire. And for supper, cod with kale and roasted grape tomatoes. Related posts: The Farm’s First Fire of the Season Lamb, Kale, Squash and […]
It had been more than a year and a half since I was invited to a fantastic dinner — a tasting menu that introduced chef Eric Gao and the Chinese cuisine he would be preparing at O Mandarin in Hartsdale. […]
A few photos of sunrises this week. Beautiful colors! Related posts: Sunrise at the Farm Lazy Mornings with Sam Visitors at the Farm Peonies at the Farm
A nice invitation from our friends Jeannine and Will, who brought together four families for a pot-luck on a random Sunday evening. Such a welcoming home! Hunna with wine. Fun at the table. After reading Gabrielle Hamilton’s essay on dinner […]
How is it possible that these children are so big? I know I say that every birthday party. James is now five! Ninja turtles! Jane is always such a creative baker. Good times! Happy Birthday James! Related posts: Happy Birthday […]
Greg was getting a hair cut, so the whole family decided to take a walk downtown and get out of the house for a little bit. While he was getting snipped, Sam and I stepped over to Hudson House. Manhattan […]
A snow day at the farm, wherein Sam and Abby kept themselves occupied and I worked from home. Until about 5 o’clock! Cheers. Related posts: Oh. Look. More Snow First Snow of 2014: The Big Dig A Snow Day Monday […]
What a classic place. Melon’s, as everyone calls it, has been around since the 70s, and is known for one thing: the hamburger. It’s a great old bar, with green striped tablecloths and photos, paintings, signs and sculptures of melons […]
I had fallen in love with a pair of earrings that came in a StitchFix. And when I lost one, I was devastated. I emailed StitchFix; they didn’t have any more. The earrings were not branded in the StitchFix order, […]
A morning visit to the Met. We are members this year, so we’ll try to make the most of that! The townhouse in the American Wing: The Temple of Dendur: Sam: Snap the Whip by Winslow Homer: A fun visit. […]

Do I have you at Cap’n Crunch Chicken Burger? It was the star of the show at Instayum, a popup food-meets-Instagram event at the Garden State Plaza. The burger is fried chicken submerged in Sriracha-honey glaze and served with lettuce, […]
A new favorite salad at The Barrow House in Clifton. Kale with farmers cheese and grapefruit (which I don’t eat), add on chicken. Delicious! The 411 on Barrow House. Related posts: Barrow House in Clifton Mighty Quinn’s in Clifton Sharkey’s […]
Low-carb chili! A delicious recipe, adapted from one from last winter. I’ve pumped up the amount of cinnamon and cumin, which makes the chili more subtly flavored than spicy. 1 pound ground pork 2 tablespoons smoked paprika 2 pounds […]

I’ve already reported on Viaggio twice, so for this post, I’ll keep it simple. The food was very good. Again. One of the specials, charcuterie: Scallops. Delicious. Gnocchi. Fabulous. Short rib. Decadent. All good! Related posts: Viaggio in Wayne Viaggio […]
It was a quiet New Year’s Eve at home this year, with Lexi. We watched a movie — was it Dunkirk? — and when it was over it was about 10 minutes til midnight. So we watched the ball drop. […]
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.
