Gather a bunch of innovative, skilled craftspeople together in a beautiful setting on a stunning fall weekend — and throw in some delicious food and drink to boot, you find yourself with Field + Supply, what was billed as a Modern […]
Also known as: “Helga, Meghan and Leigh Are the Dorks of New York.” (Props to Helga for supplying the ornithological visuals.) This Goldpost is a spoiler alert if you haven’t read the book. But if you have—as many friends of […]
There’s a little chicken joint in the strip mall down the road from the farm. After 10 years, we finally decided to give it a try. Wow! So glad we did! While the rice and beans weren’t the best, the […]
So much depends upon the beautiful light dappling from the trees along the bike path.
Mom, heading out of town, dropped off her CSA share. In it were peppers, eggplant, tomatoes and squash. Ratatouille, then! I dreaded the idea of having to saute (or roast) each vegetable separately, and so I was so thrilled to […]
Usually we have one before October, but this year, no! Let the fall begin.
The Feast of St. Francis at Grace Church! Always a lot of fun, even though we don’t have a pet to take to church. For the second year in a row, Samamntha has brought her favorite stuffed animal, Baa, for […]
It’s been quite a while since we’ve had a supper at the Ranch! We took Sam over, put her in the crib and had a fun time with Grammy and LeighLo. I didn’t take many photos, but we did have […]
Happy third birthday Gigi! Katie and I met at a breastfeeding group when Sam and Gigi were just tiny babies. Today, they go to day care together, and have become fast friends. One of Gigi’s favorite spots to visit is […]
Evening’s chill chases us off the patio, but we hold on to summer with a bottle Croteaux rose and bruschetta with corn-tomato salsa. Our entree, cod with bok choy, is served with a side of fall. Good friends and neighbors, […]
A nice bright flash of white near the patio. The nights are getting cooler, though, so weren’t not enjoying them as much as we should!
Another super pre-theater meal at Ippudo. I think I’ve found a modus operendi: Order the appetizer specials and split a bowl of ramen. Well, except when I want the wings. Or… or…. Pomm Choi: Pork bun special: Fish, I can’t […]
Horsing around in the bouncy castle at the fair in Piermont, and a trip to the park. A fun Sunday with Sam.
A rare Saturday night out at a restaurant! We head to 8 North Broadway, the restaurant in the former LuShane’s in downtown Nyack, with our friends Jane and Pat. Les Dorkages: Les Dorkages, duex: Oysters: Very […]
And just like that, it’s Broadway season again. For the first play of the fall — Love Letters — Irene and I head to pre-theater dinner at a small little ramen joint called Kung Fu Little Steamed Buns Ramen in […]
A chill in the air, so we go brown. Whiskey sours! Recipe here: Whiskey Sour recipe.
A quick stop at just one winery on the way home: Macari. We sampled a few nice wines, including a nice cab frank that I’ll definitely try to find around home. Macari Vineyards web site.
We decide to go home via the North Fork, thinking that we’d stop at a few wineries along the way. First, lunch in Greenport, at the new(ish) Blue Canoe Oyster Bar. The girls: A terrific platter of all-local oysters. They […]
On Sunday morning, Lizzie RW took off super early, and Kelli and Boo were playing tennis. I took off for a solo bike ride around Napeague Bay. Create Maps or Search for a route from millions at MapMyRide Next time […]
So here’s the routine. Around 5:30, head over to Clam Bar. Order yourself 6 oysters and a glass of rose, and a lobster roll to to. Slurp oysters (and wine) and take lobster roll back to the beach for enjoyment […]
After biking, we needed sustanance. And, for a change of scenery from Clam Bar, we head to Amgansett Square for the most delicious dosas around. May I present the Hampton Chutney Company, where you can enjoy dosas outside at the picnic tables. […]
A great workout with beautiful views this Saturday morning: a 12-mile bike ride around the bay at Springs. Create Maps or Search for a route from millions at MapMyRide The gang: A stop at the Pollack-Krasner house. On our way […]
Day one at the beach was a bit windy, but we set ourselves up with an umbrella barrier and made the best of it.
Never again will I head out to Amgansett without a stop at Green Thumb Farm Stand. I was completely blown away by the quality and selection of the produce, almost all of which is grown on the farm right behind […]
A weekend with the girls… here we go! Bikes are packed, book is queued up, and I’m off. First, a stop at the Green Thumb Farm Stand! (Link here.) Then Wolffer: Farmland: And lunch at Clam Shack!
Sondra and Leigh joined us for pork chops on the patio Sunday night. Mom brought along a delishy gazpacho. Between that and a snap of Leighlo, that’s about where these photos end! Vrac!
After a runaway success with our quest for the best Bacon, Egg & Cheese over on lohud, Megan and I are starting another quest: for the best red sauce. Not sure how we’ll ever decide it for sure, but we’ll […]
And, for our finale: We close the summer movie season out with a classic: Dazed & Confused. Irene, Boo and Catherine joined us for steak on the grill, corn, tomato salad and a peach gallette, which Samantha helped make. Figs, […]
OK so Shakespeare I’m not (line 345 here in Hamlet), but I am a little sad to see these two quinces go. We bought them as young whips only a stick thin (see their arrival at the farm in this post […]
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.
