It’s my favorite time of year for farmers markets: the summer harvest is still going strong, and the fall vegetables are coming in, too. Everything is so beautiful. The colors are so rich. It’s the first day of fall, […]
Every morning in the all-purpose room, the kids sing along with their music teacher while they wait for school to start. It’s a lovely way to begin the day. The first song I ever heard him do with the kids […]
What a magical place. I can’t believe this is our first time here. We met Katie and Tom — and Otis, of course — for a nice morning of wandering around. Sea change. This thing is so cool. Sea Change, […]
Supper with Sondra and Leigh. Only a couple of photos, but this Caprese is another beaut. And the porch is cozy.

First, a warning. There are lots of photos in this post. Apologies. But I could not help over-documenting the momentous occasion of the first day of kindergarten! She’s so ready. And so excited! And a little apprehensive. In the gym! […]
It’s the end of another season at Oratamin. We mark it with relay races, diving competitions an an old-fashioned egg-toss. Candy hunt: Trophy handout. Egg toss!

It’s Labor Day weekend, folks, so we’re smoking some ribs. Four hours later, with some beans and tomatoes, and you’ve got supper. Boo and Sammy are happy. And, later, Zootopia on the big screen outside.
If you’re looking for a hearty breakfast on a cold winter’s day it’s hard to get something more satisfying than congee, the Chinese rice porridge. It wasn’t exactly chilly the day I tried it at Big Wong, but it was […]

lohudfood said farewell to Megan with an appropriate send-off at Dunne’s Pub in White Plains. (Here’s Megan’s farewell column: lohudfood says farewell to Megan.) Somehow Brum, who was next to Carucha, did not make it into this photo?! It’s been […]
Rosemary & Vine in Rye is the sort of restaurant that never would have existed even just five years ago. But today, Middle Eastern-influenced, vegetarian food has a certain cool factor, thanks, in part, to chef Yotam Ottolenghi. A […]
That’s what summer’s about. A big, fat burger, right off the grill. Cheese, tomato, lettuce and pickle. Yum.
