Eat. Drink. Live.
Heading to a Broadway show with an out-of-towner? Only one place to go these days: Ippudo. SCF fans will recognize most dishes here (previous Ippudo coverage here and here), so we’ll just go with a visual post this time. But […]
Wow! Who knew!? The last time we went to Maura’s Kitchen, it was to pick up some terrific roast chicken takeout. This time, we’re sipping pisco sours and guffawing over how delicious the ceviche is. Yes, it appears that Maura’s […]
Karen is visiting from Australia, and spent a quiet weekend with us here at the farm. First outing: Chappaqua Farmers Market for Doughnation Pizza (not pictured) and pumpkin picking (pictured). Here are a few sweet pics.
Karen arrived from Australia on Friday night, and we immediately set about pouring cocktails and serving snacks. Sidecars, natch. These particular snacks, though, are the completely delicious, utterly addictive cheese palmiers from La Tulipe in Mount Kisco, a gift from […]
An easy Monday night supper to send Sarah back to Texas.
For the final outdoor movie of the season, we decided on sci-fi: the latest Star Trek. Boo, Tasha and Shannon gathered round the screen, blankets on laps, and we said goodbye to Sour Cherry Farm Paradisio in style. Until next […]
Celebrating Hunna’s birthday at one of our favorite places with two of our favorite people: Boo and Sarah. The pizza, as usual, was outstanding. A wonderful, light, airy crust. Proscuitto and arugual topping: Sarah and Boo! Goat cheese fritters: Fennel […]
Book club meets infrequently enough that Sarah has been able to particpate in the last two gatherings. For this October edition, she was the proctor for Tenth of December by George Saunders, which, on Jan. 3, 2013, was called, in […]
For the Feast of St. Francis, people bring their pets to church for the Blessing of the Animals. Samantha brought Monkey and Baa along, but she was also enjoying playing with other parishoners’ animals, too. Here are a few pics.
The Nyack Fire Department celebrated its 150th anniversary with a parade down Main Street Saturday. Samantha loved the trucks, the music and the “nas.” (Horses.) Here are a few pics and videos from the afternoon’s entertainment. And… walking home afterwards:
We do love a farmers market, but it’s awfully nice to have a farm stand nearby, too. We get corn at Dr. Davies Farm all summer long, and, come fall, it’s chockful of apples. Simple, humble, so real, so good.
Irene and I made an unusual, but delicious, choice for pre-theater supper this time around: we stopped for dinner at the Filling Station on 9W on the way down to the city, intead of eating when we got there. Pizza […]
Hunna started a new job this week: working for Design Within Reach. We’re all pretty excited, not to mention proud! Good work for a good company. He leaves super-early, so Sam and I are on our own those mornings. On […]
A few pics from a warm Wednesday at twilight. Pear tree, loaded: Joe Pye, in full bloom: Bees (and toes): Sour Cherry Farm theater: A beautiful limelight blossom:
The Small Bites bloggers met at Village Social in Mount Kisco a couple of weeks ago for a sneak peek of chef Mogan Anthony’s new fall menu. It’s the first time I’ve been to Village Social for dinner — I […]
My hunna makes a killer pizza. Tonight is no exception. Basil and tomatoes from the garden, fresh mozzarella, too. Fabulous.
Upon return from taking Sadie Mae to her semester at Ballymaloe Cookery School, Kris had lots of stories, and photos, of course. Since weather did not permit a screening at Sour Cherry Farm theater, we took the show to the […]
On one of the most beautiful evenings of the summer, we enjoyed drinks in one of the most beautiful settings around: the patio at Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Boo, Jeff and Catherine were heading for a dinner of a […]
A beautiful late-summer supper.
We have a new rector at our church, and while Kris was off helping Sadie get settled at school, Tom and I helped with the committee put together a spread to welcome him after his first Sunday. Parishioners brought in tastes […]
A nice aperitif, light and refrshing. It may be pink, but it’s not a pansy drink. From Cocktail: The Drink Bible for the 21st Century. We took the Cointreau up because the original recipe was a bit too tart for […]
A simple hors d’oevure, fabulous spread over goat cheese on baguettes. And delicious the next day in omelettes. An easy, set-it-and-forget-it recipe from the farm’s friend Peggy, who recommends leaving the skins on and seeds in for a nice country-style […]
It’s the time of year for putting up tomatoes. Or just cooking with them instead of simply slicing and serving. And sometimes, for that, peeled is better. In this post, I’ll show you how to peel tomatoes. I’m not saying […]
I’m always hoping for a soulful dish to surprise me with a pop of brightness. At Roost in Sparkill, chef-owner Kevin Reilly never fails with either soulfulness or surprise. And his brillant balance of flavor, texture and pop works both […]
A couple of cookbooks and a cappuccino for lunch? Don’t mind if I do.
Our SCF BDoFs (Big Day of Fun) aren’t nearly as big as they used to be. We had a great time at the James Turrell exhibit of Aten Reign at the Guggenheim. But BDoF used to mean lunch, a museum, […]
Kicking around outside before supper. I don’t know what we’re going to do when it gets cold out!
Thanks to our friends Jill and Clay, we enjoyed a barrel-aged Negroni on the patio on Monday night. Monday night? Yes, folks. I’m on vacation. Not that not being on vacation ever stopped us before. Now, you may not be […]
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.
