Eat. Drink. Live.
Things are really starting to pop now! Hyacinths: Daffodils: Our summer perch:
A lovely spring day at the market. Young greens from Blooming Hill. Larchmont Charcuterie, how I love thee. Hello tulips! If only! Glad the market is back outdoors again!
A little sunshine on a dreary day. A little bit of #sourcherryfarm sunshine on a dreary day in the @northjerseynews #newsroom. . . . . . ———————————- #northjersey #newspaper #daffodils #spring #gardening #garden #newjersey #nj #news #paterson #patersonnj #woodlandpark #bergen […]
Something about those crisp spring evenings makes a fire more welcome even than in November, doesn’t it? We started with drinks of the porch, but then moved indoors to warm up by a welcoming blaze. Sam helps. But gets a […]
The Nyack Street Fair. A little gardening. A few crafts. Just a fun, do-nothing kind of day with cousins. And that suits us just fine. Making candles at the street fair: Some sort of massive pinwheel. Princess phones! They were […]
A gorgeous Sunday, perfect for brunch at a sidewalk table at the Hudson House. Our little Sam tried her first Shirley Temple. I got the bloody mary. I told Samantha the story about when Sarah and I were at the […]
Cousin Lexi is spending her spring break in New York with us! Tonight, it’s pasta by the fire.
It’s opening day of porch season, folks! Time to get those cushions out, dust them off, sweep and mop and get ready for summer!
Just playing around with the kids in the nabe. Claire, Gianna and Sam.
Irene is back from two months in London! She was helping to run the WastED pop-up at Selfridges. It was a grand success, and now she is regaling us with the tales. Martinis. And regaling Sam with tales of Dinosaurs. […]
We continue to become more and more digitally focused at The Record and NorthJersey.com. Today, our own Marko and Pete from lohud are leading iPhone and iMovie video training so reporters can produce their own videos. Here we go! Here’s […]
We hadn’t seen each other in AGES! So Marissa came over to Nyack for a meal. We met at the Brickhouse, but it was too loud to catch up, so after our drink there, we went to our old friend, […]
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.Â
The Columbia Journalism School Career Expo is held once a year on the campus. We attended, in hopes of finding the talented journalists for The Record and the USA Today Network. Ed, Leif, Manny: Talking with candidates. Â Â The boys […]
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. […]
The 37th annual Volunteer Spirit Awards breakfast, a benefit for Volunteer New York, was especially meaningful for us at lohud this year: our publisher, George Troyano, was honored with the Legacy Award. A few photos from the breakfast:
Mighty Quinn’s BBQ takes its inspiration from the South, but comes to us from New York City. Our outpost in Clifton seems to combine the best of both. It’s an order-at-the-counter type place. And you move down the line. As […]
A wonderful and productive lunch meeting with Christine Sloan of Fios TV’s Restaurant Hunter NJ! We chose Fortina because we both happened to be in Westchester that morning. Hello, old friend. Arugula salad with chicken. The best, if you can’t […]
Just a day to pal around town with my favorite partner in crime. First, new hair. Then, a trip to the library. Next, a walk around town. With a stop at Didier Dumas. And home in time for cocktails. And […]
A couple of photos from a random Wednesday morning! Seeing how the outfit looks. Sammy in the all-purpose room. Early to school today!
Surprise! The farm’s great friend Diane is in town! A trip for dinner is in order. Down to the village we go. It’s been ages since we’ve seen each other. Though thanks to our blogs, at first, and social media, […]
Kris and Tom have generously hosted a St. Patrick’s Day supper for several years running. This year, they generously offered to bring it to us. We drank rye. And served good food. YUM. A messy living room dinner. It […]
Everything old is new again. The farm is heading down the homemade sausage, homemade corned beef, homemade ham route. Just like we did nearly 10 years ago when we experimented with duck confit, sausage and cassoulet. This week, Greg is […]
Just a few car shots while we were out doing errands. 💕
Five moms, with five kids each! A good story for Mother’s Day, yes? For what ended up being the May cover of 201 magazine, Heather and Deirdre brought these moms in to the studio for a photo shoot. Here’s a […]
Every culture’s got a meat pie. Turns out the miners from Cornwall, England, who settled in the hills of Morris County, N.J. have one too: a pastie. Rocky’s in Wharton has been selling them for four generations. The meat pastie […]
My favorite video so far this year on NorthJersey.com came out of the big March snowstorm. These guys have such a big heart — and they’re so perfectly Jersey. As you can see, we can’t stop watching it on the […]
Playing with legos: A runaway smash hit: New weight selfie. A housewives incident in court:
There’s always one, isn’t there? A big storm hit the farm this March. It was a school and work days, so you know what that means.  And also a nice brekky. Going back to help out the bees. And a walk […]
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.
