Eat. Drink. Live.
Sam is a maniac! She’s crawling everywhere, pulling up to stand, and cruising, too. So we went to Babies R Us for some gates. So much for good design sense for the farm. But when you see this little munchkin? […]
Mornings in bed with Samantha are pretty sweet.
Oh my, what a cutie. She loves it.
For Greg’s birthday, I got him something he’s been searching for a long time: a sauerkraut crock. Sounds silly, we know, but he’s been searching high and low for one at thrift stores and garage sales for as long as […]
Looksie! Sam really has this crawling thing down, I’d say.
I guess we were too busy wining and dining to take any photos of the people who came to celebrate Greg’s brithday with lamb shanks and polenta this evening. But luckily, we do have documentation of the evening with this […]
We lit our first fire of the winter of 2012-13 on Saturday, October 6. A little later than some years.
A few photos of a day on the porch and a walk around town.
A nice portrait of Sam:
Cooking for one is back, just for a few days. First, I had an late afternoon walk with Samantha, then I fixed myself a leftover burger with corn and a wedge with blue cheese dressing. Happy Sunday, y’all.
Indeed they are.
Why yes. That would Samanatha. 9 1/2 months now. And she’s crawling, rolling and generally squirming everywhere.
“She’s not heavy, she’s Samantha.” Sweet Jahn.
Wherein Samanatha is completely enthralled by seeing herself in the phone’s camera:
What are we doing feeding Srimp in dark of dining room when we could be outside on the porch? Everyone wants to be on the porch!
The last concert in the park, and also Sarah’s and the girls’ last night in New York. We made the most of it, though. What a wonderful summer tradition this has become!
Family meal! We made chicken with apricots and peanut sauce and took it over to the Ranch for a Saturday supper. Good stuff, right Greg? Watermelon margies! What?
Iron Chef Sour Cherry Farm is back at it. This time, folks, we’re making BLTs. In this corner, Greg, with his RUFFLES to CRUNCHIFY his sandwich. In the other corner, Sarah, who is going with her own secret weapon! So […]
The whole family — Grammy & Leighlo, Wilson, Sarah, all the cousins and us — enjoyed a summer meal at the farm. Les Dorkages:
A sad morning as we pack up and go. A consolation. Once home, we have Benton’s BLTs.
Today, Greg and I went to the lighthouse at Montauk. All these years and I’d never been inside. Well, we didn’t climb it. Are you kidding? But we did have a nice day out and about. We started out with […]
Our day at the beach. Our evening at the beach. We don’t do much, but it sure is fun. [wowslider id=”28″]
Lobster rolls and oysters at the Clam Bar. Yes, summer is here.
We’re back in Amagansett for a week of beach life. A little beach time during the day. A little dinner for the kids. Then babysitter comes to the unit and we head to the beach for magic hour. Cheers!
After the Mario the Magician show, we walked through Chinatown a bit to find this dumpling place I’d heard tell about on Serious Eats. Serious Eats, which I trust implicitly when it comes to this sort of thing, lauds the […]
We went to see our new neighbor and friend Mario the Magician perform in the city, and to Mae’s great amusement, she was chosen as a helper during the show. Well, criss-cross, applesauce! (Sorry about the blur, but it was […]
The three cousins were so darn adorable watching cartoons on the porch I couldn’t help but snap a ton of photos. Here’s a looksee: And OK… a couple of videos, too. So cute.
Laurie and Sarah, hailing from Austin, where the temperature is in the 100s, were thrilled beyond belief that the heat broke — and they got to break out their sweatshirts. Here’s to chilly nights on the porch!
The family got together for supper on the porch Thursday, and Greg and Sarah made a simple summer meal. Grilled sausages (soy ones for Lexi), watermelon-feta salad and the zucchini-fennel salad that was such a hit last summer. Lexi and […]
The concert in the park nearly wasn’t this week. A band member was more than an hour late! But that didn’t stop us from enjoying our lovely supper of Asian Barbecued Chicken, Doris’ Cucumber Salad and Black Rice with Mango […]
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.
