Eat. Drink. Live.
A rainy day. So we set about a puzzle, go out to lunch, have cocktails and, in the end, go crazy with a Dance Party USA. That’s how you do rainy at the beach. Blue margaritas. This was a lobster […]
Just a few photos of the gorgeous beach day we had Sunday at Ocean Colony. So happy! Good morning! The convenient unit we had over the summer, right by the beach.a All the essentials: Euchre, a puzzle, Scrabble and Vrac. […]
A weekend at the beach with the girls. We get started with a trip out along the LIE, and end with wine on the beach. Ya-PHANK? The Deuce. A nice unit! The beach. The girls! Cocktailing. Sunset. Too many phones. […]

Even in the rain, a day at the beach is still a day at the beach. We begin with lobster rolls and day drinking. Catherine is martini bold. Fried clams. Trey is telling a good story, no doubt. Lobster roll! […]
Day 3 of paradise on the East End. First, a bike ride. Good morning, sunshine. Trees. Now, to the beach. Wine at 3. Boo, at cocktail hour. We pop over the Lunch for a lobster roll. And back to the […]
Still a bit cloudy, but nice enough for a walk over to the Art Barge. And a quick trip into town. Boo and Kelli play tennis. Friends. Cool weather costume. I’m walkin’ heah! Nice beach house. It’s getting warm, so […]
Warning: there are an obscene amount of unedited photos in this post, so unless you have a vested interest (ie, you were there, I’m looking at you Kelli, Sarah and Boo) or you are very close family (that would be […]
The gang gathered at magic hour to drink wine, watch the sunset and discuss “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doerr. On this evening, however, it was all about all the light we could see. The sunset was […]
Clam Bar at Napeague has the best damn lobster roll on the whole island. Lots and lots of lobster. Just the right amount of mayo. Just a wee bit of celery, diced tiny. And a soft, chewy bun. Nothing better. […]
The kids dug big holes, built sandcastles and generally kept busy playing and swimming. That meant for us? Reading. Dozing. Snoozing. Reading. I read nearly the entire fiction issue of the New Yorker — including both Jonathans — and Sarah […]
More fun at the beach! Photos from Day 2, including a nice portrait of all the kids! A sandcrab! Related posts: Photos from Day One of the Beach: Amagansett! Day Three Beach Photos: Amagansett! More Beach Photos! […]
Our annual pilgrimage to the East End, where we relax on the beach, read books, build fires and drink wine. As you should on any good vacation. Ya phank!? Little girl! The circle of friends: Sam and […]
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. […]
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! Related […]
Sam and Dad have a tea party on the beach, we get lobster rolls, see an beautiful sunset, and meet up with Boo for late night drinks. A super end to our vacation. The mayor: Sunset and a fire: […]
We took the book club discussion to the beach this year with Willa Cather’s ‘O Pioneers!’ Gregory led the discussion, which was also attended by Larry, Linda, Sarah, Lizzie RW, Boo and Kelli. After the discussion, we enjoyed more wine […]
A trip to Amgansett would not be complete without a meal at Clam Bar. This time, we ordered oysters, steamers and, of course, the lobster roll. Vacation #selfie (or, as all the kids are calling it these days, #ussie): Montauk […]

The weather is still crappy but we mix some G&Ts, get out some board games for the kids, and then head to the beach with jackets on. Lounging children: The red bag of wine. Related posts: Beach! Amagansett Day […]
A morning walk, a bit of pool time and getting ready for happy hour. Cherries for breakfast: Ready for this evening: Our deck: It’s no Deuce, but it’ll do. Ocean Colony: Pool time with Daddy: Hanging at the pool. Related […]
SCF fans are familiar with the scene. Beach and pool during the day, an early supper, then back to the beach for sunset and wine. Even with some crappy weather, and a big group of friends, it’s no different this […]
We discovered a new favorite unit at Amagansett, and plan to rent it again next year. Two bedrooms, an open kitchen, a big living room and a private deck with an outdoor shower. All terrific. We’ll miss you, The Deuce! […]
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, […]

We thought the day was going to be a washout. Not only did the sun come up, we ended the day with a beautiful moonrise, too. The new outlook reminded Hunna of a poem by Robert Frost: Dust of Snow. […]
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.
