Eat. Drink. Live.
Wherein we sip caipirinhas at sunset, then retire to the studio to watch Orange is the New Black while enjoying our grilled tuna, Blue on Blue Salad and Sullivan Street Bakery bread slathered in salty butter. Yes, heaven. The limelight […]
Our final night in Amagnsett. It was too rainy to spend magic hour at the beach, so we had a little dance party USA with the girls while making dinner. More of those photos to come from Sarah and Laurie, […]
Greg is putting up some summer cabbage. We’ll see you in about six weeks for some ‘kruat!
Our tree in the front yielded 20 quarts — 20 quarts! — of sour cherries. With only two days to put them up into sour cherry preserves, we had to work quickly. We picked and pitted on Saturday night and […]
Little baby tomatoes, fresh basil from the fields and fresh mozzarella from Dante’s. Let the summer menus begin!
Though we’ve been growing sour cherries for a bunch of years, we’ve never had a big enough yield to make an entire pie of all our own cherries. Well folks, this is the year. Not only do we have enough […]
Despite predictions of thunderstorms, the weather held out and we had an al fresco supper on the patio (second Sunday in a row!) for Father’s Day. On the menu: flank steak, beet and goat cheese salad with pickled onions and […]
A serendipitous supper on Friday night! Kris and Tom brought over salad from their garden, zucchini blossoms from the farmers market, cheese and salami, and eggs from their friend’s chickens. We put that together with our garlic scape pesto, Wave […]
From Tailaferro Farms, purchased at the Nyack Farmers Market. Yay!
Leftovers in the fridge? This is the way to go. Saute some onions, chop up the leftovers — we had sausage and asparagus from the garden — add them to the onions and pour 8 or so beaten eggs over […]
From the Palisades Farmers Market: Scallops from Pura Vida Fisheries on Long Island and Greens from Blooming Hill. We paired with polenta from Wild Hive and had ourselves a lovely local supper.
A gift from Grammy so Samantha can help bake. Thanks Grammy!
Hunna made up the recipe and didn’t write it down, but that’s OK because he’s still perfecting it. Let’s just say it was almost as good as it looks.
Seared skirt steak, chimichurri, roasted cauliflower and sauteed spinach. Happy Saturday.
Hunna’s adopted hometown took the Super Bowl title this year against San Fran. I admit, I was only halfway watching. But Hunna’s wings and our homemade ranch and blue cheese dressings were killer. Not too much else to report this […]
What a fun New Year’s Eve! We sipped champagne from France, slurped oysters from Maine and savored big bowls of carbonara. And then there was the singing!
I’ve know about the web site Food52 for quite a while, but I hadn’t really explored it much. Shame! Since I started reading it more regularly, I’ve found tons of recipes I want to make, including Torrisi’s Spicy Sauce, Walnut-Sage […]
What’s better than our favorite braised brisket recipe? The one by Joan Nathan? Only one thing: when it’s made with a brisket from our new favorite grassfed meat purveyor: Kiernan Farm. Absolutely fantastic.
It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon, so Samantha and I are making Chocolate-Orange Madeleines. Well, I am making Chocolate-Orange Madeleines. Samantha is banging her big spoon on the metal bowl. I must admit, this was not my favorite recipe, though, so I […]
We are going to serve a vegan holiday entree this year. My brother Chris’ girlfriend, Laura, is vegan. Chris’ daughter, Alexis, is vegetarian. And it’s how we want to be eating more often than not, anyway. But we don’t cook […]
We had new dishes on the Thanksgiving table this year, and all the families chipped in for the preparation. It was a collaborative — and fun — meal!
We decided to mix up Thanksgiving a bit this year. Instead of the same traditional dishes we’ve been having for years, each family took on a few new responsibilities and made a brand-new recipe. Greg and I took on stuffing, […]
Maybe it was having the Korean chicken the weekend before? But I got some kind of bug, and we decided to have another bo ssam dinner. (The first one was in February, and it was really delicious.) Two big pork […]
After Superstorm Sandy, Boo lost power. She spent a week with our friend Lisa. After the week was up, she headed home only to discover that though the lights were on, the heat and the hot water were not. She […]
Kelli and Patrick invited us along for a Harvest Hayride at the park in Irvington. The kids had a ball. Even Sam.
Grilled pork chop. Corn from Doc Davies. Caprese salad. Yum.
We had pizza two nights this week. We got on a jag, I guess. Here’s a look at them both. I’m not sure I want to call this an Iron Pizza Chef, but if you feel you’d like to vote, […]
A great Saturday supper at the farm, folks. Lamb-beef burgers. Caprese salad. And Davies corn. Cocktails and dessert, after the jump.
We can’t get enough caprese salads this time of year. Burgers are just the excuse to have a salad.
Greg was making some bruschetta with tomatoes from the garden. He salted them and let them be for a while. As he was draining them, he realized he had a magical elixir on his hands. We mixed the tomato water […]
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.
